i hope it is ok to use the name Runza on this. everyone in Nebraska knows that this is a famous fast food restaurant that originated in Lincoln in the 50s, but there are home style variations of their product, and this is one of them. if you ever visit Nebraska don't, don't leave without experiencing the real thing. they are unique and delicious.
