Serious Sandwiches: The Waffle Sandwich
I agree on the ground meat equating a burger consensus, as well as two slices of baked goods holding together ingredients equating a sandwhich.
I vote with you Karen, 'waff-which' is fun to say! :D
Which City Has the Best Pizza?
I rarely get to travel; and when I do, it's with the family--so meals are usually sandwhiches or some bland, pathetic northern (all of my extended relatives live up north, while I grew up in Louisiana and Texas) attempt at southern homestyle cooking. I can't say anything about where the best pizza might be found.
Locally; people swear by Napoli's, but I found it nothing special. The crust was barely better than Cici's, and it's only visible quality was quantity--of ingredients and the size of the pie. The best pizza I've had was at Carmine's, off of Spring Valley and Montfort in North Dallas. I'm not a fan of crust* but theirs was good, and the sausage on the pie was real slices of spiced sausage--not that crappy hamburger looking junk that normally shows up on the pizza scene. Strangely enough, the second best pizza I've had was at a Chinese buffet of all things. It was a pepperoni pizza with a fluffy crust, with cheddar interspersed with the usual mozzerella. I can't remember the name of the place, but it's found at the intersection of Skillman and Audelia. Third best pizza? At another buffet, simply called 'Pizza Buffet'; owned by an Asian family, but the chef is an Italian transplant from NYC. I particularly loved his stuffed pizzas and calzones. None of the pizza was bland or possessing of the usual 'overcooked' quality that I usually find on just about any buffet item.
*Regarding the 'first pizza' theory--doesn't apply to me. My first taste of pizza was homemade pizza. My mom would toss some homemade crust brushed with vegetable oil onto a pan sprinkled with cornmeal, spread some canned sauce, sprinkle mozzerella, arrange pepperoni, and bake. Sounds pretty nice, right? It was gross. There was wayyyy too much cornmeal on the crust, the sauce was little more than red water, and the dough was atrociously mealy. It was like eating hard flour. Thus began a lifetime of usually only eating the toppings off a slice of pizza and trashing the rest.
Impending hatefest for my wastefulness coming my way in 5...4...3...2...1...
:P
