But hey, look. It's cool. Not everyone can grow up in the Big Apple and have that awesome pizza. If your taste buds are aligned with the winds of Sbarro, Pizza Hut and whomever else...I honestly cannot hack on those folks. It would be totally unfair of me to do so. Always reassessing, always looking in the mirror. But Dest, definatley, if you ever get to New York and have your youngest with you, get him/her a nice slice.
Ug, you grew up on deep-dish? Cover your youngest's ears... Fuck deep-dish pizza! If I wanted a pizza so large I could swim in it, I would have ordered a Sicilian pie!
I have heard of this Blaze phenom, not sure what the great buzz is about them. There are none in my area, they are all in Boston proper. I still have to investigate the Chick-Fil-A thing, so Blaze is second on my bucket list of "Why is this particular fast-food shit so popular".
We skipped school senior year and drove down to Wrigley for a Cubs game. We stopped at Uno for lunch before the game and the check was like $140 for six of us. We had $80 bucks on us and put the cash in an empty glass on the table and booked it. There were cops in the restaurant and they nabbed us in the car outside the restaurant. They felt sorry for us and appreciated that we left the $80. The waiter was on our side and the manager gave us back the $80, free meal, so we gave it to the waiter as a tip. Growing up in Chicago in the late 80s was fantastic.
