> A prominent downtown San Jose restaurant has admitted that for at least 
> five years it has been serving pork and claiming it was veal. Bella Mia 
> executive chef Gary Kjolhaug, 41, said Tuesday that he has been using pork 
> tenderloin in the Italian dishes offered on the menu as veal parmigiana 
> and veal scaloppine for ``probably five or six years.'' The owner didn't 
> know of the substitution, Kjolhaug said, until confronted with the results 
> of a Mercury News investigation.
