The Glade 4.0

Where did you have this "Chicago style" that you didn't like?

See, that's the thing... you tried it ONCE and decided not that THAT deep dish pizza was crap, but that ALL deep dish pizza is crap. It's like deciding that beer is nasty after trying Bud Ice.

Also, on a side note, one of my hot buttons is people saying 'X is digusting' and not 'I don't care for X'.

Had it at Pizzeria Uno.

Shel, lighten up. Obviously, you don't understand the tongue in cheek delivery of my posts. I figured that the use of the winking and raspberry emoticons show that, but you seemed to miss it.

I am JOKING about getting out of my thread. Laugh a little. I don't know why the pizza preference of someone appx. 1800mi. away gets you in such a lather.

So, that being said. I prefer NY style pizza. To repeat myself, I don't think of the tomato, cheese and topping potpie as a pizza. I don't despise it, I just would not go out of my way to order it.

Now can you take the serious and bring it elsewhere, say maybe Hellfire, because I sure as hell don't need an argument about pizza here in General.

You shut up only the pizza I like is good and everyone else is wrong! /sarcasm off

Also, I stand by my cherry pie comment.

tomato, basil, chilly based sauce, with garlic prawns, mush rooms, sun dried tomatos, and 3 types of cheese, topped with a sprinkle of chilly flakes.

Alternatively, double smoked bacon, meatballs, peperoni, over a bbq smoked sauce, and dribbled with bbq sauce on top, topped with chilly flakes.

Base as to be as thin as possible with cheese and ham/bacon bits in the crust... mmm....

Foamy, there is a place a few blocks from where I work that serves an excellent deep dish, and yes, i have had ones similar to what you describe as your experience too. There are many ways to do pizza, and you usually love what you grew up with. A lot of people get very protective about 'their style' of pizza.

Now I found having a Philly Steak sandwich with Cheeze Whiz an interesting experience, and if you fellow Pennsylvanians choose to eat theirs that way, that is okay with me. Personally I'll go with the inaccurate reproductions here that use 'real' cheese.

Who ruins good steak with cheese whiz?

Well, calling it good steak would be a stretch, but the default style of the Philly Steak sandwich in Philadelphia itself seems to be 'wit' Cheese Whiz. If you want it with something else you have to order it that way.

I had a good time with Foamy and Oonagh, and got to meet and hold Sean for a little while which was very pleasant. Foamy warned me about it but I tried it so I could have had a real Philly Steak in Philadelphia. Visiting the Liberty Bell and the other sites we went to was a lot more memorable.

Somewhere along the line, Cheez whiz seems to have become a staple of a Philly cheesesteak. I missed that memo. As far as I was aware, Provolone or American were the chosen cheeses for said sammich. Micheal, I'll take one of the inaccurate representations also if it has real cheese on it. We picked the wrong place to have a sandwich. Pats and Genos were too far away and the next best option was the Reading Terminal Market, but that was back the way we had come from which was several blocks away.

I don't know that Cheez Whiz is now considered the standard Philly cheesesteak. I sure hope it's not. Gimme provolone or american and you can keep the Cheez in a can.

Foamy, I've talked to some friends who have visited Philly in the last few years. Their story was everywhere they went, it was Cheez Whiz. Of course they may not have had native guides. I loved the visit, hope to do it again some time, but next time, I'll rent a car so we can go anywhere we want to.

My favorite pizza place is a small local place called Pizzaria 712. Never had a pizza there I didn't like. They rotate their menu with completely new items every four months or so as well.

There's another not too far away that I can't remember the name of that's pretty awesome. Both these places server real Italian style pizza, which is closer to what people generally refer to as thin crust in the US.

There's a few toppings that are common to find in Italy that aren't here, such as some various greens (such as arugula, amazing on pizza) and a much wider variety of meats and cheeses that are awesome.

Basically if it's cooked in a wood oven, I'll probably love it.

*edit Remembered the other place, it's called Terra Mia. Great place as well, and the gelato they serve is also pretty awesome.

Pepperoni and spinach. Modified to sometimes include mushrooms and peppers.

Greek style with sundried tomatoes, garlic and spinach and block olives also rocks.

Yes, but if you tell Lisa (my SO) that she may not let me eat pizza anymore.

Good steak... no one. Philly Cheese Steak... it is the way it is meant to be.

Meatballs and bacon, light on the cheese.

It is. Sorry. I prefer provolone, too... I'm not into American cheese and don't see much difference between American cheese in preformed slices and American cheese in an aerosol can. Chemically they are the same damn thing.

Forgive me if this sounds like a stupid question, but ... are y'all talking about Cheez Whiz or Easy Cheese?



Oh, and Foamy ... lighten up. You obviously don't understand the deliberately overdramatized tone of my posts. I figured that the lack of exclamation points and evil emoticons show that, but you seemed to miss it.

I don't know what the Cheesesteakeries around here use when asked for a "cheesesteak wiz witout". They may use the brand "cheez whiz" or perhaps a generic knockoff. Since I never used the stuff myself, I wasn't aware that "Cheez Whiz" did not come in a can.

Either way, gimme the real stuff on my sammich, please.



I don't like the preformed slices either. Gotta have the sliced deli American. Land-O-Lakes or New Yorker, plz.

American cheese is bland, tasteless stuff.

The only thing I'll use it on (and even then, only in desperation) is a burger, because at least it melts okay.

It's the same stuff... mixed ground up cheese with extra milk and stabilizers, processed to a paste then squirted into either rubbery slices or rubbery blocks. It's only grace is that it melts, but so does provalone. Or gouda. Or jack.

Mmm. Jack...

Ever had Vella Dry Jack? They age it like parmesan!

Intriguing!
