Indeed, one the rare occasion I bother with stuffing a weenie in my mouth (usually on a Costco trip), that's usually my pick.
Yes, which is why I brought up regional variance. Unfortunately, there is a lot of excellent food in Mexico not so well known in this country, though I am starting to see a bit more from further South working its way in to menus.
I'm from Brooklyn, hon. This: is pizza. The reason you fold it is so that the extra olive oil drips on the paper plate, not on your clothes.
That looks pretty good, but I've gotta say, it's not remotely what I think of when it comes to New York pizza. Look at that crust -- it's very thick. How do you fold that? It almost looks like deep dish (as does the pan). [edit] In fact, if you do an image search, that pie brings up a Chicago food porn page. https://www.google.com/search?tbs=s...rcS52iWLzCDzSljdz6MjspZIB3Rt1xCbICcYANk&hl=en
If you go south Mexican food is all moles, sauces, and soups. Watery stuff. Thanks, but I prefer the more norteno European stuff.
There arw no burritos in southern Mexican cuisine. There are no wheat flour based breads on southern Mexican cuisine. That is all norteno. Hell, even in norteno culture burritos vary so much, from nonexistent to tj style being every where, or Mexicali style where they are a bunch of boiled crap wrapped into a small (twice the size of a street taco but way smaller than a burrito) flour tortilla without any sauce or toppings. Mexicali style sucks and if you go there Mexican style Chinese food is all you should eat.
The torta might reflect a sandwich made with actual bread (risen and baked) as opposed to a tortilla or chalupa type flatbread. Skipping to another continent: The Hindu word "roti" just translates as "bread". Makki ki roti translates a cornbread and gehoon ki roti translates as wheat bread. The Hindi word for "sandwich" is sandvich (सैंडविच) spoken in an Indian accent.
When I'm home, I keep my hot dogs simple (though I never buy actual frankfurters and use beef sausage instead). I top them with brown mustard and banana peppers. That's it. When I'm paying somebody else to make them, I really enjoy a Chicago-style dog or the aforementioned BLT dog.
Believe it or not, this has actually been ruled on in a court. http://www.neatorama.com/2011/10/11/what-exactly-is-a-sandwich/ http://www.foxnews.com/story/2006/1...ispute-by-ruling-burrito-is-not-sandwich.html Panera sued over a Qdoba coming into the same shopping center where Panera had a clause in its contract stating that the shopping center would not lease space to any other sandwich shop. And now, according to Worcester County Superior Court, a burrito is legally not a sandwich.
I've never actually had a real Chicago dog, but Sonic seems to have done a good approximation. Once I tried it, it became my favorite hot dog. Also, mustard is definitely a, well, must. Spicy brown or hot mustard is the best, and the onions have to be so strong they kill my dating chances for anywhere between 3 to 6 months at least.
That reminds me: is it true that there are no national chain pizza places in NYC? Seems a bit crazy to not have a couple, but given how the local mom and pop places have stuff like in your photo for less than half the price, I doubt too many natives would be flocking to Domino's or Pizza Hut.
I think it's like that in Chicago, too. I mean, I'm sure there's a Dominos pizza around, but when the nearby pizza parlor makes something like this, why would you choose the other guy? (For the record, this is actually a pizza from "Old Chicago" pizza in Gary, Indiana. When I was in Chicago back in 2010 (should have tried a hot dog while I was there and now I regret it), @Larry and I got a pizza from Giordano's, and while it was terrific, I actually prefer the pizza from Old Chicago. Point being, both pizzas were far, far, far superior to anything Dominos, Pizza Hut, or Little Caesar's could have ever dreamed up.
There's a local chef here who has several restaurants that specialize in street food from Mexico City and points south. You not remembering torta reminded me of my screw-up when visited the one closest to my house last December. It was a particularly chilly day, so I decided to order some soup. I ordered sope instead of sopa, and they brought me a little piece of friend masa with toppings on it instead of a bowl of soup.
Little Ceasar's Now that Domino's stepped up their game a while back, there'there's the new rocks at the bottom of the national pizza chain totem pole. The last time I had some out of desparation, I could not finish a second slice. And forget about trying to warm it up next day.
I have trouble with Little Caesar's, in that the pizza sits heavy on my stomach. I can handle Domino's okay because they have upped their quality just a bit. The one I cannot stand at all is Pizza Hut. They sweeten the crust, and it goes down like a lead weight, and I always get sick from it. I miss Little Caesar's from when I was a kid. The scent of the pizza still brings back memories, but the taste is too awful to keep those memories pleasant.
On the one hand, I agree that Little Ceasar's is crap, on the other hand, I have the taste buds of a dog, and the stomach of a seagull, I can get down just about anything short of monkey brains
The recipe has certainly changed, for sure. Ya know what I haven't seen in San Diego? Papa Murphys, the take and bake place. I think we got more of those pizzas because they accept ENT and that is great for a mom that doesn't want to cook that night. But I've yet to come across one in any area here between San Ysidro and Escondido.
Let's not go insulting dogs' taste buds. I've given my Chiweenie the pepperoni on those pizzas and they're still in his dog bowl the next day.
If one puts peanut butter on two slices of bread, it becomes a peanut butter sandwich. If one puts regular butter on two slices of bread, it's just buttered bread and not a "butter sandwich."
The Mexican cokes do taste different. We used to use cane sugar here in America before they switch to high fructose corn syrup but the cane sugar is cleaner, no sticky syrup slickness on the tongue, the cane sugar cokes just taste crisp and clean yet have the same amount of sugar over all.
Mexican coke is the real coke. It's a shame that a good American product is now made in Mexico and has to be imported.
It looks pretty good but you are a heretic for eating square cut pizza. Pizza must be radially cut so everyone has a crust to hold on to.
