CT is #1 for pizza. NY is #1 for garbage politicians.
All of you guys, sit down.
In our state, we have governors making license plates!
ETA: But thanks for leading me down that rabbit hole. I found a place in NoLa that I'll take advantage of next time I'm there.
Also just give me a list ferchrissakes: https://www.thedailymeal.com/eat/101-best-pizzas-america-2020/slide-25

That would make Cuomo a Number 2?

And in a list of the 100 best pizzas, only two are in Chicago?
I see some selection bias there.

I've had pizza in Northern Italy. It was like a different food, and in a good way.

I competed there as a collegiate athlete.
Cool! What sport?

I was on the rowing team my freshman year and took an east coast trip to compete against Navy at Annapolis, and also had a race at Syracuse.
-
@Horace that is very cool Horace! I have a rowing machine that I use, concept 2, and I see some of the times that people do, and realize what good athletes they are!
It is said that rowing is one of the best overall exercises person can do
-
You will find few Biden voters on the rowing team.

Yep. I am not naturally gifted in endurance sports so it all hurt pretty badly.
Legend had it that it is possible to push oneself too hard and increase risk of dying early of a heart attack. Someone told us that it happened a lot to Japanese rowers. We all shrugged it off. Then the guy who pushed himself hardest on the whole team, part of my own freshman class, who ended up on the USA national team, died at 38, of a heart attack. I wrote a post about him at the old board.

That just reeks of privilege.
-
There was a lot of that on the team. Rich kids from east coast private high schools with rowing teams. But I was a second class rower who'd never picked up an oar until I got recruited for the team out of the freshman orientation lines. They were looking for extraordinarily good looking people.

Yep. Calling American pizza “pizza” is a textbook example of cultural appropriation.

I don't care much for either east coast or Chicago pizza. Neapolitan and Detroit (Sicilian) style for me.

Most ot the pizzas we've been eating as of late are frozen California Pizaa Kitchen BBQ Chicken. We miss the real deal.

Never had it. Is it any good?
Also, you should try Salerno's. They're not far from you and they deliver. That's our go-to.
-
Frozen Cali Pizza Kitchen is pretty good. Certainly better than your average frozen pizza.
-
-
HRI is pretty good too. Better? CPK has more interesting flavors.

My bride grew up in Cicero. "Interesting" and " flavors" are not two words that belong together in her vocabulary.
