I take the view that what software I like on my PC is similar to my
view about pizza joints. If you like it, stay with it.
Even more so with gyros. (-:

Great analogy. The gyros here in Florida, especially Tarpon Springs, are
the
OK. The pizza, it sucks, big time. About the only thing I miss from
Chicago is the pizza from a mom and pop restaurant.- Hide quoted text -

I don't like Chicago deep dish pizza, it ain't pizza, it's a
cassarole! Thin crust, brick oven, NY style!


Best pizzas I have ever had were in Naples, Italy. They rolled the dough
out, put on the sauce and fixings, saturated the top with olive oil then
stuck it in a big, brick oven with a wood fire in the back.
They were cooked for about 45 secs, pulled out, folded in half and served
with the oil dripping out all over the place.

One of the worst I've ever had was in Lecco, at the southern end of
Lake Como. My wife ordered lasagna, and I ordered pizza at a small
place off the main drag. The food was served. The pizza was very
small, dry, and tasted much like cardboard. The square piece of
lasagna was still frozen in the middle.

We were not impressed.

I thought it was the water. The local Florida bread leaves something to

I haven't found a place for a good "crusty" bread. In my area it's all
chain grocery stores and no dedicated bakeries.


Panera is pretty good...not a local chain, but they do know how to bake
bread.

No Panera here yet.


That's a shame. Their multi-grain is great.

I will absolutely guarantee those pipes were a lot further down than
6". In FL, where it's all sand, they would be exposed by a decent rain
or wind even if they were that shallow.

Nope. That's where the pipes were under the curb, sidewalk and lawn by
the water company. Didn't have sprinklers on that house, just a shallow
well for lawn watering.

I find it a tiny bit humorous that Loogy tries to depict himself as an
expert on anything other than his job of delivering, picking up and
emptying construction site porti-potties.

Speaking of which, let's discuss those technical papers you wrote
about seismic and wind forces on structures, okay?

There are some here who know what I do for a living, and yes, indeed,
it does make me an expert in some things! The funny thing is, when
Harry lies and someone calls bull****, instead of being able to man up
and provide proof or a technical explanation, he starts his childish
name calling and insults. Why? Because that's all he has.

Damn straight.

There's a place just down the road that serves NY pizza. The people
that own it moved here from NY, and they do a great job of re-creating
authentic NY style in SC.

Got a a little Greek place in town that does great food as well. The
gyros, tahini, and hummus is good.

We have customers in from all over the US fo training, and they're
always amazed at the variety of good places to eat. They come
thinking it's all hog jowls and cornbread, and leave with the
realization that the stereotypes they've been fed of the south are
gone. At least in this area of the south, there's no problem finding
good ethnic foods. And they do like the local BBQ.

Well, it may sound rather passe', but when I'm down there, the first
place I go for lunch in San Jose's - pick one, but I really like the
one over on Rt 6 behind the Carolina Wings place in Lexington.

It's become a ritual. :)

I've also been to several BBQ places - Hudson's, Maurice's (although
I'm not a big fan of mustard based sauces, but the atmosphere
is...um...interesting) and a couple others. Some chain operations that
I had never been too that are pretty good.

Breakfast? The Waffle House on Rt 6 and I-20 across the street from
the BP Kangaroo. Best damn greasy spoon I've ever been in. :)

Nothing better than an order of their hashbrowns all the way! IT's fun
to sit at the counter and watch the cook! They can sling some food!

It is indeed fun to watch. And I love the hash browns, although they
don't quite love me back with the same passion.

Do like the cheese grits though.

When we first moved to Florida, and I went grocery shopping, I was
astonished at:

a. the lousy, crustless, tasteless substance that was being passed off
as bread. No matter what sort of bread it was pretending to be, it had
the same sponginess and pretty much the same taste. Lousy rolls, too.
We found *one* deli in the entire Jax area that "imported" its bread
daily from Baltimore, and it was pretty good.

b. the high price of produce. I really thought we'd be paying a lot less
at the grocery store for produce. Nope.

Where we live now, the best bread is baked by our local Panera store.
Real bread of substance with real crust. The supermarkets serve up
"spongy" bread, for the most part.


Well you are in luck stupid. Panera is a National chain. Panera bread is
available EVERYWHERE. You don't get out much, do you?

How often do you travel 10 or 15 miles to buy bread, silly dweeb?
