The problem is you'd probably get overcrowded tourist traps. It does remind me of a show I liked to watch called the thirsty traveler though. He'd visit places around the world based on their beer/wine/spirits history. Made for a pretty entertaining show with an interesting perspective.
What's a "travel agency"?em2nought wrote: ↑Thu Oct 10, 2019 6:11 pm When I watch Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives I always think to myself that there should be a travel agency geared toward food destinations.
Trying the top ten pizzas might be fun. I'd also be down for the ten best sandwiches in America too. Ten best wings. Ten best burgers. Ten best Cubans. I'm not sure how Guy isn't a balloon.
I love this.Jeff V wrote: ↑Thu Oct 10, 2019 8:09 pm On one of my trips to the Philippines, I brought a frozen Gino's East pizza but even in one of those foil cooler bags, it was thawed after 24 hours of travel. It still was in one piece though and I cooked it immediately. While cooking it, my wife was watching a show on the Filipino version of the Food Network and there was a show about the best pizza joints in America. Gino's East was one of them!
There's one nearish my work. I will be making the trip for a Italian beef. I see no calzone/stromboli, however.
If you can manage a bit of a road trip and our spare bedroom remains available (uncertain at the moment), you can come up and visit. While I'm in the hinterlands, there is Lou Malnati's (pizza) and Portillo's (beef and hot dogs) not far away. Pick the right weekend (maybe shoot for an Octocon weekend) and we can hook up with Lawbeef, ILB, and maybe Hepcat and Hentzau at Pequods. Lawbeef, ILB and Brian met up there some years ago when Brian came to town.Blackhawk wrote: ↑Thu Oct 10, 2019 9:49 pm Mother Bear's is at #99, and it is actually fairly near me (~50 miles, when the others are all hundreds of miles.) I've driven by it a few times. I need to make a trip there sometime.
I'm honestly jealous when I hear the people from New York and Chicago argue about things like pizza and hot dogs (or beef sandwiches, etc.) I've never had either style of either one, and there is nowhere to go to try them. So, everyone who lives near good food, enjoy it for me!
Tried a Gino's East frozen deep dish cheese pizza a couple years ago. It immediately became my #1 frozen pizza. Unless I'm in the mood for something different, I generally prefer that to most of the local pizza places I've tried or that we get at work.AWS260 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 10, 2019 8:17 pmI love this.Jeff V wrote: ↑Thu Oct 10, 2019 8:09 pm On one of my trips to the Philippines, I brought a frozen Gino's East pizza but even in one of those foil cooler bags, it was thawed after 24 hours of travel.

That'd be awesome. I'm honestly hoping to pull off Octocon next year. It'll just take a lot of successful saving without any financial surprises.Jeff V wrote: ↑Thu Oct 10, 2019 10:28 pmIf you can manage a bit of a road trip and our spare bedroom remains available (uncertain at the moment), you can come up and visit.

I think his wife typed that, she's trying to hook you up with the new roommate.
The right Pan plus the right heat plus a good peanut oil isn't a secret, it's the starting point, isn't it? Without the crust is wrong, and everything else follows.
I don't know anything about the west side of the state I have so many local pizza places I love. Some are M&P. Some are small chains. Jet's is pretty big chain that I . And I am so sad to see some unique places go under. I pizza from the Roman Forum and I the white seafood pizza there and I will never get to enjoy that again.Zenn7 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 10, 2019 11:21 pm...

The exception being Pizza Papalis. We get that sometimes at work, deep dish! Chicago Deep Dish is my favorite style of pizza. Detroit's deep dish isn't bad. Not so crazy about NY style thin pizza.
YESwelcome to the thunderdome @chicago. ur pizza is a casserole.
I'm shocked (SHOCKED!) that twitter is being used to spread lies and ignorance.
When it comes to Chicago-style pizza in Detroit, Joe Sheena's PizzaPapalis is the undisputed king. Now, the longstanding Greektown restaurant owner is evolving with the times and has added a different kind of famous deep-dish pie to his menu.
Known for huge, heavy, sauce-topped pies with layers of cheese, meat and veggies, the Chicago deep-dish style has been serving the business well since Sheena opened PizzaPapalis in 1986 after an inspiring Windy City road trip to see the Lions play the Bears.
Pizza has been Sheena's whole world for three decades. He attends and competes at pizza conventions in Las Vegas frequently, picking up on trends and tips from industry leaders. When he saw Neapolitan-style pizza was in vogue about 10 years ago, he opened NeoPapalis Pizza in Ann Arbor.
Now, it's clear the growing trend nationwide is Detroit-style pizza. Being that his pizza business is based in the the heart of that city, he decided to add it to the menu after 30-plus years of serving a style of pie that put the 312 on the pizza map.

They say revenge is a dish best served cold. But if vindication was a dish, it would be pizza. New Jersey pizza.
The Garden State, long an unfair national punchline and overlooked culinary destination despite a rich food culture, received perhaps the ultimate cuisine compliment. Food & Wine just named New Jersey the best pizza state in America.
“New Jersey is the best place to eat pizza in the country right now,” David Landsel wrote for Food & Wine. “The state is one in an elite group remaining true to their heritage, through long periods of time when others were too busy crashing ahead into the future to care about theirs.”
