Oh, dear freakin' Lord!!! What a way to spend a Saturday, but I found it!!! Definitive proof that Bucks Camping and Fishing has a BASEMENT!!!
drum roll
Here's the article:

And I quote:
"Like Pastan, James Alefantis, owner of Comet Ping Pong in D.C., doesn't build his pizza sauce with DOP San Marzanos. For seven years, he has been buying late-harvest tomatoes from Toigo Orchards in Shippensburg, Pa., and canning them at nearby Stello Foods for use at Comet. Last year, Alefantis estimates, he bought 12 tons of Toigo tomatoes, which Stello turned into sauce and canned before trucking the jars to the basement at Buck's Fishing & Camping, Alefantis' other restaurant nearby."
Can I get a hallelujah and amen?

Wow, last year he bought 12 tons of tomatoes? I wonder how much that translates into in terms of cans? Found this: 1 cup canned tomatoes = 1-1/2 cups fresh, chopped, cooked tomatoes. I'm thinking that has to be a huge basement!

By using their calcs, and they say that this is for thin sauce, 12 tons is like 4800 liters. Liter and Quart are very close in volume so lets say they make it a bit thicker for pizza and its like 4000 quart jars worth. So if they used all 4000 in a year it would about 10 quarts a day.

If they had a basement at CPP, why would they store it at bucks anyway?

Why would they store them at bucks? And there lies the million dollar question. Because a) there is no basement at CPP or B) the basement is being used for something far more sinister than tomatos! We can't discount those pics of them breaking up concrete creating what looks like tunnels. This would be something next to impossible to hide, so he would have to lie!

Why not make the basement at bucks the dirty deed place then? They wouldn't be hauling 12 tons of sauce over to their other business every year. It is very illogical to me personally. How do you explain the need for it to be at CPP?
