So....food

You go to Williamsburg occasionally, is that right? Anna's is the best pizza I think I've ever had. http://www.annasbrickoven.com/ We still talk about it months later and it's the one to beat. The other pizza we like is at Isabella's in Little Italy/Baltimore. http://www.isabellas.biz/
Not often, but I'll keep that in mind.

Have you tried Brick in PF?
No, hardly ever get up that way anymore. I usually just pass thru on my way north.

OMG, no. I see these ooey gooey cheese-globbed-in-a-mountain-of-fried-something-or-other-food creations that people are sharing on FB and I shudder every time I do. I just see *heart attack!*

You should come with us to the Iowa State Fair. :jet:

Pizza in Southern Maryland. Right now, IMO, the best pizza can be procured from Pizza Hotline. If you don't want to go "that far" up the road, the McKay's Café on Rte. 245 has the 2nd best pizza (the biggest variance being the dough slinger making it).

As for food in general, most of the food we (America) purchase is not food, but food-like products.

And I'll be waiting on your doorstep. So tired of the conveyor belt pizza makers. We need a good stone oven, be it wood or original pizza oven. But when you do, please get a good dough recipe. Good pizza crust is just so important.


Yes. I'm a pizza snob.



Peporoni's has a traditional pizza oven

Isabella's has awesome done up right pizza! The crust is the best! Baked in a wood fired brick oven, the crust is just right. Airy, and light around the sides and not glunky and thick. You didn't feel bloated from too much crust. We really enjoyed out pizza there.

Iknowright?! :lol: I won't say I never try those things! For me, they're better shared, though. A bite here, a couple bites over there.

I saw several places in Cody that look great - can't wait to try those!

I tried theirs a while back. Not on my favs list.

I thought it was unremarkable as well. But to each their own. People complain about the kind of pizza I like, too - "There's burny marks on the crust!!" And god knows there are enough people who love Dominos that it's an enormous global chain.

:shrug:

Mckay's on 245 in Hollywood cooks theirs in a firebrick oven.


And the best firebaked pizza I've ever had... Inferno's on Patrick Street in Frederick. :drool:

Are we that bored with what we eat that they need to constantly be coming up with weird stuff like deep fried Cheeto coated mac & cheese sticks??




Nope, not at all ...
... I enjoy the favorites I grew up on, and for one wish companies would quit mucking around

So Saturday we met my daughter in Austin and, out of all the great eating places in that city, here's where we ended up:

http://gourdoughs.com/public-house-downtown

All their food is on a freaking doughnut. I protested this choice and was outvoted (thanks, Monello :smack:) so the daughter and I ended up splitting a Mother Clucker, which was easily the most revolting thing I've ever eaten. Because I'm stupid, I decided to be a good sport and just eat the damn thing, which made me violently ill later that evening. As I'm barfing, all I could smell was that greasy sweet doughnut, which made me barf even harder.

Monello said, "Consider it training for the Iowa fair." I replied, "I'm not eating that chit either."

:twitch:

But there are enough people who want to eat their sandwich or dinner on a doughnut that this place has THREE! Austin locations. And it's not like I'm some clean eating fanatic - I eat junk, too. Just not that junky.

I eat a lot of junk food or weird #### but a donut burger just sounds gross. What exactly was on the mother clucker? I mean I've had chicken & waffles and that was good but w/ that you can control the sweetness level. I'm thinking a glazed donut would just be too sweet for me.

It wasn't glazed, it was like a cake doughnut, but still way too sweet. It was the doughnut split on the plate, topped with creamed corn, candied jalapenos, and a large fried chicken tender. Just thinking about it now is making me a bit queasy.

But I learned a lesson about letting people pressure me into doing something I don't want to do.

This is the power of marketing and promotion. So, are we bored or just bovine?

It is beyond me how anyone can decide on, say, an energy drink. Or a TV show. Or milk. Or a cookie. Or, well, anything. We're branded to death.
Try and pick a spaghetti sauce. And then make a compelling case that it is meaningfully better than the 20 next to it.

It probably makes perfect sense that when presented with 17 choices for GOP nominee, the loudest, pizazz-iest, biggest claims, shiniest, newest, boldest flavor won going away.

Donut - sweet
creamed corn - sweet
candied jalapenos - sweet
