Where are the best Italian restaurants? I will fly there. Colorado has very bad Italian food. I am very sad. :(

Never heard of any of these restaurants!  I will definitely give it a try.  

I have been there many times when I loved deep dish.  Now I cannot stand that stuff.  I want the New York thin crust and that crust needs to be very tasty.

I had the same grandma.  She would have loved your grandma.  

Deep dish is an abomination.and isn't even pizza.  It's a lasagna with the noodles replaced with bread.

And my grandma would never eat that crap.;

She did have a nice pizza that was thicker than thin crust, but that was because of the air, not the dense, soggy, mush that passes for pizza crust in thick deep dish.

And she would make a "bread" that had just olive oil and tomatoes on the top and called it Pizza bread and I was addicted to it.  Very yeasty and olive oil tasting.  

Using mind a slightly thicker crust or even Sicilian pan pizzas, though thin crust is unquestionably the best,  but deep.dish is just so doughy and it doesn't cook right.


I have family that gives in Chicago and they didn't like it either and were vocal a out it not being the most popular with  Chicago citizens either.   Few people outside if it know there is a Chicago style thin crust too and its good.


You ever had pizza with provel  cheese though?  Ugh it is the worst, its like candle wax.

I agree.  However Giordano's (I think it is the one on Rush Street) had a pretty good crust with cornmeal added that at least made it crusty and not so doughy.

But my deep dish days have been so over since I was in my 20's.  

It's a local favorite ... but I have to admit .. I can't eat it anymore.  I really prefer NY Pizza, truth be told.

Grandma's always make the best!

REALLY?  I thought Cali was noted for having excellent foods. I mean they have the wines, the tomatoes, the herbs.  HOW CAN THEY SCREW THAT UP?

And we have great imported cheeses available.  WTF??? This post was edited by WM BARR . =ABSOLUTE TRASH at April 4, 2019 12:38 PM MDT

Not Italian-American food they don't.

Y'all can keep your tomatoes and berries.  Y'all bring those bland berries and awful mealy  tomatoes and they suck. California is produces a lot of produce, but the produce sucks.

WHAT A BUMMER.  I had NO idea. I thought it was a land of plenty as far as produce. I learned something and I did not want to learn this.  So frustrating.  The food industry SUCKS.  Food is being absolutely denatured, deflavored and denutrutionalized.  We are all gonna die of cancer.  

On many levels I agree.  We ha e lots of food, but it is low quality.  Tomatoes picked green and turned red with ethylene from bananas.  Bland berries picked early so.they shop across the country without turning to liquid. Mealy apples out of season.   Chicken that is bleach white and mushy from poor diets and crap.
All while destroying the environment and soil needed to grow it.  Oh and how much wasted water so.people can have their damn almond milk?


Industrial s ale factory farming is a travesty.  Poor food that is all show, no quality, soil and water depletion, and the demise of localized family farming pea give a that supplied local economy and local nutrition needs.  But hey!  We get to throw half our meals away without care instead maybe wishing we had one more small bite for more mouth pleasure.  

I need a plot of land and I do not have one.  I have to study microgreens and how to grow them inside the house.  I sprout (or am learning to) many seeds and eat the sprouts.  I eat Spirulina live from the Hippocrates Institute and make sure priobiotics are a daily staple.  That is how I survive these days.  I eat grocery store food (I have NO choice) but I try and at least incorporate healthy additives.

It would be so nice to even have a small yard.  I could do some damage with a great garden.

Micrgreens and sports couldn't be any simpler.  Really all.you need is a small closet, some.mason jars, and some.clear storage bins.  After that it is some soil and a light.

Yeah.  It IS Simple. TRY IT.

It looks simple.  And it is, but when you are starting out?  IT is a project.  Even sprouting seeds is a HUGE project even though basically very simple.  Anything that takes watering and watching is a PROJECT.  

Hi Sharonna
While the evil pink bunny does have a point when it come to most produced foods, I have lived in California all my life and the locally grown produce is wonderful.
There are times when certain fruits are not "in season" and will either be prematurely picked or imported, leaving them somewhat lacking..but all in all, we are pretty fortunate to have quality of food we do..you would love the produce at our local market here...
The meat is also locally raised and delicious..it's amazing the difference between our local fare and what you get at Safeway...

Yes ma'am.  And if and when that is no longer true?   Then food as the planet has known it to be will finally be forever erased.

It's a little far away for me, but maybe one day?

Your taste buds will thank you.  :)
