What ever kind of Chinese food you have it will be authentic to
someone. I really like good Chinese but it is difficult to find in
South Florida. I have three essential tests for a restaurant before
I will try it: It has to smell right when you open the door;
There should be ample numbers of Chinese help working there;
and ideally there should be a fair number of Chinese patrons.

Thin crust, New York style, tomato and three cheese pizza - finest

Chicago style pizza sucks. As does most pizza.

You guys are sounding like pizza amateurs. :)

Oh, and for the record - giving credit where credit is due - Frank

I read that pizza review link Reggie posted.
The pictures made me hungry, because I could just tell some of those
pizzas were delicious.
But as much as me and the Duck think we know pizza - a natural
consequence of being privileged to grow up in Chicago - it still gets
down to personal preference.
I've had some good pizza in NY as well as Chicago.
One thing that article did, which irritated me a little, is again seem
to suggest that Chicago pizza is mostly deep dish.
Not true. I grew up on thin crust. Most people here prefer thin
crust. But I like a good deep dish too.
It's easier to find decent deep dish than thin crust IMO.

You don't use charcoal in the microwave moron.

You use charcoal in the refrigerator to keep the food from freezing.

I like thin crust hand tossed with a good sauce not overly
seasoned and a
blend of cheeses. I don't care for bread with sauce and cheese
on top.
Greek style pan pizza is pretty good too.
I like it the way you do. Never had the Greek style.

"Blended cheeses?"
Sounds like Chippewa Falls pizza.
Some cheddar, muenster, colby, swiss, etc.
No thanks. Just the mozz.

A friend of mine has a joint in Chicago and when talking to him
about it he
says the cheese available here is not the same. Also, I like
sausage and
nothing here compares favorably to Chicago for me.

That's ok. I'll eat an extra one every week - and dedicate it to
you.

Here the green peppers, mushrooms and onions are ok, but you
can't make a
pizza to suit my taste with just those. The big hang-up for me
is the
cheese, too "watery" and makes the curst all soggy. I've had
some good thin
crust here, but the cheese spoils it.

I like sausage on my pizza too. Even there, touch is important.
Better too little than too much. Too much can overwhelm the
sauce and
mozz. There's a place near U of Chicago I went to for lunch when
painting a house in Hyde Park. Popular with the students, but I
never
tried it. Ground the sausage. Kept me from trying it. Didn't look
right.
Wife has brought home frozen pizzas with that ground sausage.
It's just not right. Sausage should be in chunks, so you can
chew it.
Then you got the sauce. Some are too sweet for me. Nancy's had a
real acidic sauce. Gave up on them.
Went to lunch with some suburb folks when I worked a McD HQ.
Roosevelt Road I recall, near Oakbrook.
They raved about the pizza. Sauce tasted like - ketchup.
Another lunch in an Oakbrook Plaza restaurant this same crew was
ordering something called California pizza. Pineapple on it.
Damn, it's lucky I'm not a lunch person. I'd starve.

I hope to have Pauley's report shortly. I'm getting hungry...if
I wasn't
headed for the golf course I may have gone there for lunch.

Good luck. And don't be kind with your criticism.
Pizza demands truth.

--Vic
It's hell being a Chicago pizza snob like me. For the most part
it's probably what you grew up with. I'm glad I grew up in Chicago.

Nothing down here with anything close to the Chicago style pizza
sausage. Green pepper, onion and mushroom is the only toppings I
will order here.

O' for some good mozzarella!

I'll appreciate you thinking of us down here when you have your
next cheese and sausage pizza. Could you do it today, please.
You do love your cholesterol, don't you?
I just remembered one reason I like Greek pan pizza. They make it
with heart healthy olive oil. The pizzas are a little greasy and
might not have a crispy enough crust to suit your taste. Try one at
Takis on 441 in Leesburg if you get a chance.
I've been to Takis in Leesburg several years ago. Can't remember if
I had pizza or not. Probably had gyros another of my favorites and
down here are pretty good, especially over in Tarpon Springs.

Do you live anywhere close to this area, or is that a closely
guarded secret?
Unfortunately due to the presence of a certain low life element on
rec.boats it is prudent not to reveal one's precise location.

What have you got to hide?

Will you post your address and phone number? Didn't think so. Only a
real dummy would do that.

He *is* pretty damn dumb!

Lots of "authentic" Chinese food places all over California. Only snobs
would think only Chinatown or SF. Most Chinatown places serve Mandarin. I
prefer Szechwan, but I also prefer spice foods. One of my favorite Chinese
eateries is in the town of Pioneer in the Sierras. Le's Chinese Restaurant.
Oakland probably has more Chinese living in their Chinatown than SF's. And
probably more Chinese Restaurants also. Vietnamese is very common, and I do
like Thai. Good Thai that is. We have a couple here in my area that
qualify as both good and reasonable. Just like Mexican Food. Depends on
the area they came from. Most served in the US is Tex-Mex or NorthWestern
MX. Best Stuffed potato(e)s are in La Pax, Baja Sur.

Just go to Oaklands Chinatown and order food. I buy a lot of to go food at
the Delicious Food Company on Wester at about 8th st. Silver Dragon is

Darda Seafood in Milpitas is a Muslim Chinese restaurant. Order the Onion

Restaurant. Oakland probably has more Chinese living in their Chinatown
than SF's. And probably more Chinese Restaurants also. Vietnamese is
very common, and I do like Thai. Good Thai that is. We have a couple
here in my area that qualify as both good and reasonable. Just like
Mexican Food. Depends on the area they came from. Most served in the US
is Tex-Mex or NorthWestern MX. Best Stuffed potato(e)s are in La Pax,
Baja Sur.

I prefer Cantonese. Some of best Chinese cooking I've had was in Honolulu.
There are lots of very good Chinese restaurants in San Franciso.

Do you have a list of Oakland restaurants of various cuisines we should
consider?

Just go to Oaklands Chinatown and order food. I buy a lot of to go food at
the Delicious Food Company on Wester at about 8th st. Silver Dragon is
upscale dining.

Darda Seafood in Milpitas is a Muslim Chinese restaurant. Order the Onion
Thin bread, and the spice Lamb. Fantastic.


Thanks!

What ever kind of Chinese food you have it will be authentic to
someone. I really like good Chinese but it is difficult to find in
South Florida. I have three essential tests for a restaurant before
I will try it: It has to smell right when you open the door; There
should be ample numbers of Chinese help working there; and ideally
there should be a fair number of Chinese patrons.
Agreed. There's a few places in Boston where it's authentic and the
Chinese people frequent them.

Also San Franciso and Honolulu and at two or three places in Chinatown in
downtown DC.
I wonder if they have any Chinese people in NYC or Atlanta

In the 1960's I worked in Downtown SF. Friend of Chinese heritage in the
office was thinking of going to work for CDC in Minneapolis. He was worried
he could not get Chinese food there.



There is an extremely LARGE Asian community in Atlanta. There are very
large sections of the Northern Suburbs where you see more Store Signs
where the dominate language is Korean, Chinese, Thai, Cambodia, or
Vietnamese and in small print they might include English. It runs from
inside the perimeter to about 8 miles outside of the perimeter for 4 or
5 miles on either side of I85. It is common in the restaurants to have
two menus. One with American Chinese Recipes, and another with
authentic Chinese recipes. For some reason the Koreans own many of the
Chinese Restaurants and hire Chinese Chefs. There will be Large
Shopping Malls devoted to each ethnic Group, then we have our HMart, an
Asian Super Market, that includes all Asian Cuisine and is as large or
larger than most conventional Super Markets. http://www.hmart.com/

Harry anyone who lives in an area that is so backwards and redneck, that
they considered shooting a stump a weekend of entertainment, really
should not discuss where anyone else lives.

http://tinyurl.com/redneckville2

I can't imagine any life worse than living in the basement of a very
conventional house, out in the middle of no where, with a boat in my
driveway, and I spend 7 days a week typing insults in rec.boats.
Harry, if you actually used your boat, or actually did something when
you went to these conferences with your wife, you would enjoy your life
more. You would not have to take a photo of street being paved, and
pretend it is your driveway.

Just because she is tied up in meetings, does not mean you have to stay
in your hotel logged into Usenet. Get out, do some walking and enjoy
yourself. Sure you are fat now, but if you got up away from the
computer, it would help your physical and mental health.

Thank you Donnie, I thought that was a really low blow for him to
associate me with you. What did i do to **** JohnH off this time? ;)

As far as his panhandling, I would have thought decent working folks
would want to contribute to a worthwhile cause. You seem to have a
problem with donating to good charities. You feel it is up to everyone
else to help worthwhile causes and those less fortunate than ourselves.
What ever you do, don't talk about a worthwhile charity.
