I never liked Pizza Hut from the first time I tried it. To dry and salty. The best "chain" pizza is "Hungry Howies" if your lucky, you have one in your area.

From the Mailbag: Does this Count as a Cheeseburger?

No, you need a bun.

chiff0nade,
I had to track down a recent post of yours because I was exploring through some old posts and found that you were looking for a slaw that was served at Junior's. I have both the Junior's Cheesecake Book as well as the older Welcome to Junior's book and found a Creamy Cole Slaw recipe in Welcome to Junior's. Here's part of the description: "The dressing's just creamy enough to coat the vegetables. It has a very subtle bite of vinegar with the mildest hint of garlic, and a little sprinkling of sugar to smooth out the flavors. Come to Junior's after eleven o' clock in the morning and, up until closing, you'll find a bowl of cole slaw on your table or in front of you at the counter. Serve yourself as much as you want."

Here's how to make it: Stir 2 cups Hellmann's Real Mayo, 2 tbsp cider vinegar, 2 tbsp sugar, 1 tsp minced garlic, 1 tsp ground white pepper and 1 tsp salt until well mixed. Coarsely shred 2 lbs. cabbage and 5 large carrots and toss with the dressing. Cover and chill 15 for minutes. For optimum results, chill for an hour.

I hope you see this since you just checked in two days ago!

Had to come back and check this thread...I forgot all about it until I saw that BLASTED commercial last night. Wish there was a way to get alerted when a response is posted to a thread!

Yum foods is a great stock. Taco Bell, Pizza Hut and KFC. If they want to call it Puff the magic dragon I will not argue with proven results.
No worse than the time we were talking about marinara and someone said they put meat in it. Like Top Chef when the "chef" used mash potato in a souffle. I was shaking my head at that one.

It's similar to how they call it "chili con carne with meat" on the can of chili, which of course is just saying "chili with meat with meat"

The marketing folks need to pay more attention to definition, description and perception. Do you remember the issues on last season's Top Chef that Ruhlman had with the consomme presented by one contestant? You just don't mess with classic definition of culinary terminology. If your interpretation of a classic dish wavers from the accepted origins, it should be presented as fusion or nouveau, and renamed appropriately. Just my thoughts...

As for PH's perversion of "marinara" sauce, the sad fact is that now many who are inclined to dine there often, look to PH's version as the standard.

Marinara with meat. Meaty marinara. Nope, doesn't work for me.

Remember "THE La Trattoria" from Mickey Blue Eyes with Hugh Grant?

I loved, "The The End".

Cheeseburger in a Can?

I am with everyone else who says PLEASE open the can! In fact I don't just want to see a picture I want to see a video. Though I know it won't, I am imagining a old cartoons (when cartoons were really cartoons ,like the Jetsons) Where they open a can an a whole turkey pops out or add a drop of water to a capsule and it transforms into a whole pie! Seriously I just want to see what it looks like out of the can.
