Cooking Corned Beef  Typical way that I have read – to cook corned beef is to boil. Rinse off the Corned beef, add the spices and boil. YIKES I propose adding a bit of Char adds flavor. the difference is analogous to the difference of […]

Just for kids, huh? I don’t think so! 

Honestly, my papa loved this more than me; and I’m 12 with a BIG sweet tooth.

re; Pizza Friday ~ article from Wednesday 1/16/19 Denver Post

Food for Thought “for the love of PIZZA” by Allyson Reedy. Special to the Denver Post.

Deep Dish, thin crust, Detroit and more. The many styles was adore. Catchy. Transferring an idea that we are in agreement, in the same club and that we as young Denver adults know what is Detroit Pizza. Adore.? Hmm.. Denver as ground zero for a multitude of regional varieties. Pizza. needs to be hot, with sauce and a good crust. As i am learning about Brooklyn Style, Roman Style the article does not mention what defines the difference.

so as the article further states – i keep searching. Page 3

Neapolitan: Allyson writes it is legit. what does that mean? what is the criteria? thin crust, wood fire, minimal toppings of San Marzano tomato sauce and buffalo Mozzarella…oh legit cheese pizza. got it.

New York: thin crust, large, holds sauce, grated mozzarella. Allyson writes you can get this style at Fat Sully’s.

pizza friday

Chicago Deep Dish. it says that Haters of deep dish call this a casserole. funny.

Detroit: like Chicago it is also thick crusted and deep dished. Detroit crust is crispier according to Allyson. this is at Hops and Pies. This is good Pizza.

New Haven: a crispier version of Neapolitan style with more char. I like my marshmallows roasted over the camp fire with Char, I will pass on more char on the pizza

Brooklyn: lighter, airier crispier than New York. 

Colorado: Beau Jo’s. the best is Beau Jo’s whole wheat crust with honey. 

New England Greek : have not tried. Confunkled.

Missing stated by Allyson is St.Louis style and New Jersey style tomato pie and Roman.

We now have ventured out into the product on the plate… we have new recommendations from Allyson. Next is to have the whole pizza Friday experience.  Food on the plate, listen to my order (no sippy cups)

So – Stay tuned and lets see if the pizzas follow the descriptions and are legit.
