The Midwest is the most horrible area of America.

AT least we have real cheese in Chicago... It comes from right next door in Wisconsin. The stuff they get in New York is the stuff we don't want in the midwest

So what are you talking about... You are the guys that need to resort to Kraft

I guess you've ignored my smilies, too!

[Drake Tungsten]

Anyone who insults Chicago-style pizza is an idiot. Sorry Boris...

[Ming]

You didn't have any "smiles" in your post... all you did was attack another member of this site who isn't even posting in the thread, and include a shame smile

You need to lighten up...

Waiter! There's a Chicago in my pizza!

Drake: If by 'idiot' you mean 'man with great taste' .

[Drake Tungsten]

Et tu, Imran?

How can you not like Chicago-style pizza? It's da bomb.

[Imran Siddiqui]

If by 'da bomb' you mean 'crap' .... well at least compared to NY style.

Anyone who likes more dough than the cheese and sauce is just plain stupid. Sorry Midwest...

Ming: See, not every post needs a smilie. Sarcasm is dulled when catering to the obtuse, after all.

[Ming]

And Boris... I would suggest you check your PM's... the clock is ticking

What do triangles have to do with pizza?

I imagine many kids there have never seen the sea.

I never saw the sea until age 18.

Chicago deep dish pizza pies are good food, but they are not true pizza: the crust is flaky, like that of pastries, not doughy, like that of bread, or real pizza.

Real pizza (as in, what the italians brought from Italy) is thin. Anything else might be good, but is not real pizza.

Also, thin pizza should be cut in slices, not squares. The fact that thin pizza in Chicago is cut in squares is a real sin.

As for quality of chinese: SF may have more good Chinese places than NY, but you can find Chinese food as good as anything you will find anywhere in NYC's chinatown.

As for cultural values: I just got $2 tickets for an advanced screening of a few new independent films, thanks to a NYTimes offer. Maybe in SF or LA I could have had the same oppurtunity, but surely not the Midwest, or the South.
