The eagles have landed…
For the first time in 28 years – most of the ’80s, the ’90s and well past the first decade of Y2K – a new Fiat was been sold and delivered in Kansas City. It went down around 10:30 a.m. today when chef Jasper Mirabile helped peel the wrapper off a 2012 Fiat 500 Prima Edizione in front of Jasper’s Ristorante, clambered aboard and sped down 103rd Street in Watts Mill.
Fortunately, Mirabile’s virgin victory lap was less eventful than his previous heart-pounding Fiat fling…
"Oh yeah, back in the ’90s I wrecked one," Mirabile says. "I was at the Medici Winery in Italy with my brother Sam, my father and myself. And we pulled up to the winery and my father said, ‘Pull up to the gate.’ So I drove up and I was a little nervous and I drove it into Lorenzo De Medici‘s Rolls Royce. I was shaking so bad, and I went in and told them what I’d done and it didn’t even bother them. We drank a fabulous bottle of wine and I ate the best wild boar I’ve ever had in my life."
As for the Rolls – eh – merda happens…
How the new Fiat 500 drove: "You know what? I’ll be honest with you," Mirabile says. "I had imagined that it would be uncomfortable because in Italy, it’s not the most comfortable car and it was a little hard to drive. But the new one is very comfortable and it really hugged the road. So I guess they’ve adapted it to the way Americans drive. And everybody was looking at us. Especially because we drove right by all those car dealerships. They were all out there looking at us."
Looks To Me
You know the more I look at these Fiats the more I think a bunch of Mini Cooper’s and Kia’s had sex and the Fiat is the result of it.
Seriously ..
.. stop it with the Fart posts.
Your obsession is sad. No one gives a %^&* about a Italian clown car.
Seriously.
Jay has dropped a ton of weight.
He looks great!
Hearne do you really dress like that?
Or is it your costume of the day. Wow! Freaky…
Laurel and Hardy

Stretch
Based on calculations done on my Jethro Bodine Super Ciper Ring it appears that if Hearne were to lie down and extend his hands above his head he is longer than his new car. Where can I get a wrap like that. I want to be a Fiat 500 for Halloween this year.
Hey, at least there was some sex involved…
Thanks, X Man.
He’s dropped 50 Lbs. And with no surgery
Who said that was me?
Loaned it to you, Rogger Dodger. So we could join forces and become the 3 Stooges
JJ heard about Your Run in with Glazer on Dare
Hey we have one thing in common, I hate glazer and so do you JJ. What the f happened with you two bad boys? I know you are a dago and so in Nigro, who I will see tonight, I hope, so you guys stick together. I ate at your old joint about l5 years ago, loved it. Haven’t been to the new one. Why you hanging with Hearne? If you want to get the Glazer I will help you.
In Shape to Fight The Glazer
Yes, JJ is almost in shape to face off with Glazer. I heard all about it on radio, I think Johnny Dare. Love to see that battle. Sorry JJ, I think Glazer would win the match, but hey love your food.
Funny photot
Ones too fat and ones too tall.
Cute Car Boys
I like this car! How much for with everything on it Hearne? I do think its more of a car for ladies though, like me.
Miss Jaspers
One of the few restaurants other then Winsteds and BarBQue I miss from KC. We spoke several times JJ, you have wonderful food. What happened with you and Glazer. I thought you guys were pals?
Two Hoods Fighting
Two hoods going at it, I love it.
Craig G not even trying anymore
Man these are three worst transvestites Craig has dated so far
You can get one fairly nicely appointed for $15,500 believe it or not. A pretty much loaded sport model – like mine, minus the Prima extras – runs $18,000. The same options on a Mini would cost more than $5,000 more.
Hmmmmmmmmm…
Magically disappearing posts ? ? ?
Magical!
Nothing says I wish I was dead, like
fuckin with the Mirabiles.
This ain’t the Golden Gloves fellas, just have some stromboli and shake hands.
What has JJ done to lose all of that weight!!!
I can’t believe the new you JJ! You look phenomenal!! How do you lose and be around all that food? Keep it up!!
life size cutouts at hen house
Put Jay on here regularly… Let him do some writing. He is the best chef in the city and he has to have some good stories and perspectives.
Cool Car Great Chef
I dont know about the car but if its a good as the food at Jaspers ,that great!
F.I.A.T. Fix It AgainTony, and Again and Again
When everybody gets done with profusely smooching the chef’s ass; maybe we can discuss the new Dodge Gremlin that Hearnie bought out at the Olathe “studio”.
