Damn you, Famous Pino’s La Forchetta Pizzeria refrigerator magnet! Why must you always make me so hungry?

I’ve been tempted to contact those anti-abortion lunatics who drive around in panel trucks with giant, hideous, bloody fetus photos emblazoned on the sides to see if they offer refrigerator-magnet versions. It might serve as an effective snack deterrent.

As it is now, my fridge features a motley assortment of plumbing, health care company, realtor and sports team magnets. Plus one that says: “Unattended children will be given an espresso and a free kitten.” Our pizza pretty much sucks down here unless homemade.

Where - oh where - do you live that pizza sucks? And why would you choose to live in such a pizza disabled area anyway? I swear, some people are truly masochistic…....

Semi-rural Florida, Rook. I’m a native who didn’t know better until I broadened my horizons as an adult. But now I cook my own pizza, and all is right with the world.

What can’t the magnet from my gym work like that?

Man, I hated the gym this morning. In my head I was like, “Fuck you, gym!” Over and over. “Fuck you, gym!”  And the pussy never took a swing at me.

You know those gyms, they like to lay in wait until you are unawares, and than BANG! they hit you in the back, the calves, or, God forbid, the hamstring.

I find the gym likes to sucker punch me while I sleep. The bastards.

Kevin, aren’t you supposed to be telling yourself “Walk it off, Snack Fairy?”

The only good NY pizza I’ve had outside of NYC is Arinel in Berkeley.

How hard can it be?

It’s still St Louis for mass Bakery Goods and Street Pretzels

Texas for BarB Q

NYC for pizza

Louisiana for Sea Food

Philly for Cheese Steak

what else?

PS, I’m trying to get the deli at Whole Foods to put Cheese Steaks on the menu. I’m showing them how to not fuck up a cheese steak and they are starting to get hooked. It’s the power of THE SLIME !! Can’t find cherry peppers in the South tho.

I’m always a little suspicious of the claim that New york has the best pizza.  There are about ten styles of pizza. which style are you referring to? Contrary to popular belief, there are honest-to-god Italians in places other than NYC and they make honest-to-god Italian pizza. 

Saying ‘best Pizza’ needs a qualifier.  When I visited NYC I got some great pizza, but nothing that could be considered a lot better than the ‘za I get here in Seattle.

And I would argue that the Pacific Northwest kicks NOLA’s ass in the seafood dept.

Up and down the block.

New York makes the best New York pizza. It happens to be the one I prefer, i.e. the opposite of chicago midwestern pizza, although pizza in Dago Hill StL is closest to Italian Pizza I’ve eaten.

As far as Seafood, I lived on the West Coast for fifteen years and the only good seafood I had was whatever I cooked,  and i ate out a lot, Chez Penez, West Coast Grill, the whole west coast ridefancy schmancey west coast hip cuisine. Meh. However, I’m partial to white trash food as you can see from my list.

Actually there is a great catfish deep fry joint way way out San Leandro St in Oakland around 80th Ave, where the white folks fear to tread. Highly recommended.

Right on, scooter.  I was a waiter for 14 years so I have become accustomed to the high-falutin’ fancy pants seafood.

But for down home, I’m sure NOLA is king.

Texas for BarB Q

For BBQ’d cows, yes. For piggy BBQ, I prefer the non-Texas portions of the South. With the exception of Eastern NC. That vinegary stuff they dote on is interesting, but it’s not my idea of BBQ.
