It may shock you to learn that they think (insert your favorite restaurant here) in fact does not have good food, and why the hell are [...]

Why I Can’t Be Vegan – Soy Cheese

In my early days of going vegetarian, I briefly flirted with the idea of just dropping all animal products and trying out veganism. I figured I was able to cut out red meat, chicken and fish pretty much (I realize now I just painted myself into a painful pun corner) cold turkey. Here is what [...]

Ian’s Pizza – Chicago, IL

Ian’s Pizza serves up single slices of pizza that can only be described as Frankenstein-ian in nature.  Toppings that by all rights shouldn’t be anywhere near a pizza crust somehow come together to create some pretty tasty slices of my favorite food. I think Ian’s got the most attention when they originally opened in Chicago [...]

Chi-Town Pizzeria – Chicago, IL

Let me get this out of the way right now by saying this is in no way, shape or form Chicago style pizza.  Don’t e-mail me and say I’m a traitor to the term pizza, or I don’t know what pizza is.  I know this is New York style pizza hiding in the Pedway of [...]

Eat It! Celebrating Eating Challenges – Day 4

*It would help if I actually pressed publish on this article.  Sorry for the delay* This is the kind of challenge after my own heart.  Yes.  Even I would have a hard time trying not to attempt to eat a 29″ pizza.  Of course, being a vegetarian, mine would have to be either all cheese, [...]

The Epic Michael’s Pizza Conclusion

Saturday was supposed to be sushi day for Katie and myself. We were meeting a friend in Naperville for some Wild Tuna deliciousness; the keyword being WERE. He apparently “ate something” the night before that was making him “nearly vomit” throughout the day. I told him he was a “wimp” who needed to “deal with [...]

Pizza Culpa

A while back I wrote up the various pizzas in my area. Pizza is a subjective thing. Where some people love one company’s sauce, others can’t find a good thing to say about it. Katie and I seldom agree on what good pizza is, unless it’s something like Coalfire or Pizza D.O.C. But when it [...]
