    I don’t trust anyone that hates Chicago pizza. That’s one of the things we are literally known for. Deep dish seems to be the mascot for Chicago because of how unique and original it is but that’s not all Chicago has to offer when it comes to pizza. Our thin crust is really good and it’s actually what most chicagoans eat. Deep dish is only occasional.

    Great episode. I came from Chicagoland parents, love Chicago deep dish- but it's not my favorite. In recent years I've been leaning towards tavern style as well- HEAVY on the cheese for me- so Nicole's probably would be my pick; though I'm not sure on the "hot honey", but that'd go for both.
    For the screen talent: Guess I haven't seen Chef Puck in enough interviews, but this was was the koolest I've ever seen him(if only he'd stop hocking kitchen appliances in shady infomercials).
    Adam: Have loved you since MvF. Always happy when I see you!
    Nicole: Mmm hmm. You know you got it.
    Stephen: I think you have a new fan; definitely going to check out your channel! Sorry I hadn't already, totally the YT algorithm's fault; it should've know it's a slam dunk. See you soon in the comments.
