Net54 Friday night dinner

I'll jump into the pizza debate. There is nothing more ridiculous in the history of humanity than the pizza places out here in California that call themselves "New York Style Pizza." New York pizza has thin as heck crust that can't support its own weight. It is loaded with cheese and sauce and is as greasy as all get out. If you don't hold it properly, you'll end up with a saucy mess all over your new shirt. It is the most frickin' delicious thing on the planet!!!!!!!!!!

"New York Pizza" in the Golden State?? An inch thick slab of cardboard bread topped with the faintest whisper of sauce. You can grab a slice by the crust and hold it out straight in front of you, and it will never bend or collapse. You don't need a second hand to support it from the bottom to prevent the sauce and cheese from sliding out. It's like holding a triangular shaped piece of plywood (Which is also funny because most places actually sell rectangular slices. What the heck is up with that???). It's comprised of 90% bread!!!

God, how I miss performing the traditional New York folding maneuver, like so…

Try Bongiorno's in Poway (San Diego) or Temecula. Nice NY transplanted family with the type of pizza you're looking for. My brother-in-law drives 3 hours just for pizza. LOL
