Harry P. Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Guess that maybe if I actually ever tried a Chicago Dog I might feel differently about it. Yes you would! I also agree that pineapple (or any fruit) does NOT belong on a pizza. Cheese, pepperoni, sausage, meatball, tomatoes OK...... I've also never had a Chicago style deep dish pizza... they sound good, but I've never had one. Chicago-style pizza is absolutely fantastic. I do like thin crust too, but deep-dish pizza is a whole different thing. YUM! ......and my toilet paper comes over the top. As does mine!

Harry P. Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Ummm....what is neon relish? I just noticed that. I can hear Harry cringing now. I like piccalilli on my hot-dogs. New Englnad thing. Charlie Larkin Neon relish is just regular relish (what you call piccalilli), but they put green food coloring in it. I have no idea why, but is is bright green!

Harry P. Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Speak for yourself. I love Hawaiian pizza. Charlie Larkin "Hawaiian pizza" is not pizza. You may like it, but please don't call it "pizza." Once there is fruit on a pizza (and yes I know that a tomato is technically a fruit... ), it ceases to be a pizza. It might taste good, but it aint no pizza! Acceptable pizza toppings (besides cheese and sauce, which are a given): Pepperoni Italian sausage Mushrooms Peppers Onions Tomato slices Heck, even anchovies... Unacceptable pizza toppings: Anything else! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JollySipper Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 There is a place here that sells burgers, but instead of lettuce and tomatoes like the chain joints sell, they put cole slaw and chili on them..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent G Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Wayne, I remember Jimmy's Hot Dog stand very well on the corners of Grand and Pulaski Aves. A good friend of mine lived just down the street from Jimmy's, so I was there often. Mr. Norm's Grand Spaulding Dodge was close by that area as well. Those days were great times. Mary lived down the street too and actually worked at Bessies Snack Shop for quite some time. G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobraman Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Going to the Chicago area this August to help my sister pack up and move out here to Arizona. I plan on getting me some good grub. Food is better there than here plain and simple. There goes my diet for that week !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramfins59 Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Harry, that Chicago deep dish pizza does look pretty darn good. I'm sure you could eat that for several meals..!! Aside from Hot Dogs with mustard, onions, etc... Chili cheese dogs are also very yummy..... as long as the chili has no beans in it. One of the other things I have never had yet while living here in the Pittsburgh area for 7 years is a Primanti Bros. sandwich...... while they might be good, I can't imagine eating a sandwich with french fries on it. Fries on the side is OK and cole slaw is OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramfins59 Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Or worse yet a hot dog with no ketchup ! : ) How's this sound to ya Ray... as a Ketchup lover...? My grandson likes chicken with ketchup on it , but he's only 3 and will hopefully grow out of that. One of my daughter's girl friends will only eat spaghetti with ketchup on it... She is 32 and she doesn't like tomato sauce...... now that is just downright disgusting..!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Oh no Rich. I likes my ketchup but not on that stuff ! My sister, when she was much younger put ketchup on .................... ready for this ? ...................... mashed potato's ! Talk about a disgusting mess. I couldn't even look at it.

Tom Geiger Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 (edited) We once had a fancy family affair with the best prime rib! Some old Irish relatives needed theirs well done and then covered it with Ketchup! Yuk! Edited June 7, 2014 by Tom Geiger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longbox55 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Is that a Giordano's ad? You just had to mention Giordano's. Ate there once a few years ago, 2009 IRRC. I know we went there after we left the Chicago Auto Show. Quite possibly the best pizza I ever had. As far as chili goes, if I'm putting it on a dog or fries, no beans. If I'm eating straight, then I like beans in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yuk! Tom, you got that YUK part right. Absolutely NO KETCHUP goes on a good, rare to medium rare steak, prime rib, or filet mignon. Burgers fries and meatloaf OK. Filet Mignon with a little salt & pepper and some Bearnaise Sauce... Heaven..!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 I'm spending the weekend at Fell's Point, a waterfront tourist area in Baltimore. I was at Max's Taphouse http://www.maxs.com/ that has 140 rotating drafts, 5 hand pumped cask ales and over 1200 bottles. And for lunch I had: MAX’S TATER BOWL Crunchy Tater Tots smothered in our own pulled pork BBQ Topped with melted cheddar jack cheese, a heathy dose of sour cream and bacon...Just what the doctor ordered...Or maybe not Amazing!
