My grandmother was an amazing cook, so why she would stoop to the Chef is beyond me. But, wow, does this bring back memories. I almost forgot this type of thing existed.MrsBughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17192758727636308716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4438559177675541367.post-90296167250722002652012-05-21T07:44:27.162-05:002012-05-21T07:44:27.162-05:00You're absolutely right.

I just think of it as food, and food that needs to get in my mouth as fast as possible.<br /><br />Thanks for commenting, Craigf!<br /><br />[-Mgmt.]PhilAreGo@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05719815455502184849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4438559177675541367.post-68358992776220677382012-05-21T07:40:51.101-05:002012-05-21T07:40:51.101-05:00Those of us who live outside the "Windy City&...Those of us who live outside the "Windy City" (which you must hate hearing as much as I hate Boston being called "Beantown"):<br /><br />Deep dish pizza isn't really "pizza." It's more like a meat/cheese/sauce casserole baked in a dish you can eat. I've found that if I think about it that way, I don't compare it to any other pizza at all, and I enjoy it a lot more.Craig F.http://yankeedriver.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4438559177675541367.post-16991274971755639642012-05-21T07:01:11.371-05:002012-05-21T07:01:11.371-05:00Oof!

Man, there was an Aurelio's across the street from my work for six years, and in that time I think I ate there voluntarily three times. That is some crap pizza.

As for deep dish, Uno's Lou Malnati's Connie's and Giordano's are all equally wonderful if you ask me.<br /><br />The only thing to watch out for is, if you go to Lou Malnati's and you ask for sausage on your deep dish, they sometimes install a solid disc of sausage about a half inch thick, the diameter of the entire pizza. Some people find this a little too heavy-handed. I find it gross. Be sure to ask for sausage pieces, not a contiguous sausage strata with layers of little sausage dinosaur bones in it, unless that's what you're into.<br /><br />When I'm having pizza, I usually go for the deep dish. As for thin crust, the only one I'm kind of familiar with is Robey Pizza Company, and I think they were just bought out, maybe defunct?<br /><br />Let us know how you enjoy the pizza. Two slices of deep dish is all I can manage these days. Three is I'm foolish.<br /><br />[-Mgmt.]PhilAreGo@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05719815455502184849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4438559177675541367.post-74757396620437773332012-05-18T09:05:37.169-05:002012-05-18T09:05:37.169-05:00Best Chicago thin crust? best Chicago deep dish?
