OT: some chronic crisis relief

My casual drinking is your alcohol poisoning.
Enough with TrumpTweets, BLM, and COVID-19. An unfortunate casualty of the shut down was a Chicago-style pizza place that I never got a chance to try. I love Chicago-style crust. Not that Gino's crap or anybody else that just bakes and extra thick crust. The real deal has corn meal mixed in that gives it this amazing nutty bite.
That said I don't get New Tork style. There's nothing to it. You're serving cheese and toppings on a saltine cracker.
Btw, pineapples on every pie.

Pineapples on pizza... That's just so wrong!
Do you not like pineapple, or pineapple on pizza, or just mixing sweet and savory in general?
->"Pineapples on pizza... That's just so wrong!"
Someone told me it was wrong to put ketchup on my hot dog and that mustard was sole acceptable condiment. Oh, the insensitivity.

By the way, I'll put ketchup on just about anything, including hot dogs. Just not on pizza. Well in the interest of full disclosure.... back in my college days, we'd get so stoned we sometimes MADE pizza with english muffins, ketchup and shredded cheese in a toaster oven. But that was a long time ago.
I don't know if I'd disown them, but I definitely won't eat with them. And if ever questioned about it, I'd say I don't know who those people are. Well yeah, I guess I would disown them.
The problem is when places overdo it with the anchovies. It ain't like putting extra cheese or meatballs on the pizza. They should be cut into small pieces and then maybe 2 or 3 pieces per slice. Very few pizza places do the anchovies thing correctly.

Now that what needed to be said has been said, the pizza afficianados here aren’t going to like this next one. In a Spokane bar I once ordered the house specialty, a Thai pizza. Instead of tomato sauce they put on Thai peanut sauce and then added chicken, Lemon Grass and, wait for it, pineapple.
It was pretty good as a novelty but that novelty wore off before I was full. I gave the remainder to the next table.
I have a lifelong friend that I love like a brother (despite what I'm about to tell you). He considers himself a serious vodka connoisseur, He only buys the high-end expensive stuff. But his go-to drink, whether at a bar or just hanging out in the back yard, is a Screwdriver. WTF? I'm not an experienced vodka drinker (I'm more of a bourbon/scotch guy) but I can appreciate a perfectly made vodka martini. I actually prefer gin with just a tiny splash of vermouth. Gin is good with an olive, but a vodka martini has such a delicate taste that I think olives overpower the drink. With vodka I'll take a small piece of lemon rind. Dirty martini? Oh HELL no.
But this fucking asshole (my friend) will order a Screwdriver and insist that it be made with Beluga Gold Line, or if it's not such a fancy place and they don't have it, Grey Goose. He argues with the bartender and it's hilarious. I can't tell you how many times he's been over my house and brought a bottle of $85 Beluga with him. I make his Screwdrivers with some Seagram's or Stolichnaya I have around and garnish them with a slice of fresh orange and a cherry. He says I make the best Screwdrivers he's ever had.
I keep the Beluga for my occasional Martinis.
Oh, to be young again.
"Our award-winning Peach Prosciutto Pizza is back and better than ever. Grab your slice of summer today!"
I ended up eating the strawberries off of the pizza, and then the pizza. The taste of strawberry with oil and cheese was way too bizarre for me.
I think I'd barf over that.
NY there's just so many ones. I'm wondering if you tried what's considered thin crust pizza by NY standard "Joe and Pat's" does that and I agree I don't get it. A whole pie is like paper thin, did I even eat anything. My favorite has got to be Di Fara though oh man that is awesome. Your gonna wait for it though but it seriously good.
