food, yawn. pizza, schwing

That's one of the few good things I can say about SE Wisconsin, we have a MEAN pizza style here...... the mom-and-pop places, HOLY PIZZA! There are a few places that I would put up there with Latinas..... Pizza is one of my four food groups, I usually order one on Monday or Tuesday and still have pizza on Friday night after I stagger home from the corner pub. As a matter of fact, guess what I am gnawing on right now?

The thing I still find peculiar, after living here near ten years, is how they cut the pizza here. They cut it into squares, rather than slices...... even the Chains do it.... I always have to ask to have it cut it into slices.....

And Chicago is only 40 minutes away, I am a huge fan of the authentic Chicago-style deep dish pie. I have been know to abuse myself with funny cigarettes and jump in the car and drive down to Evanston just to pick up a pie. If I call it in right when I leave and traffic isn't too horrible, I can sometimes get there before it comes out of the oven.

Other than that, the Wisconsin food blows. Bland cheddar cheese and grey, greasy bratwursts. There's only one bar in town where I can get a good beer AND a good burger...... and they won't serve me on Sundays anymore.......
