Don Cheadle on Inferior Goods

A friend emails me:

Entertainment Weekly asked Don Cheadle what his last splurge was.  Here is his reply:  

"I went to Giorgio Baldi restaurant [in Santa Monica]. When I was a broke student and a very poor actor, I made a deal with myself that when I started to make money, I would spend it on meals so I didn't have to just eat ramen, potatoes and Kraft mac and cheese."
