Jumping on the college town bandwagon, I'd say NYPD in Ann Arbor, Michigan (now apparently being franchised as Uncle D's New York Pizza?) One of those places they put a slice in the oven for you and it comes out gooey on top and crisp on the bottom. I ate there during the day once, and it was...fine. But at about 2 AM, it was miraculous.

Congratulations! At my wedding, we did a wedding cheesecake, with layers of different flavors (plain, raspberry, and turtle, as I recall) and then iced, so it looked just like a regular wedding cake. Most wedding cakes are dry and overly sweet and forgettable, but people still talk about that wedding cheesecake.

Bacon!

I prefer Graeter's to Jeni's...though I also prefer Denise's to Jeni's. As far as I'm concerned, Jeni's is vastly overrated.

how will I pick up my dog poo?!

I'm confused. It's not a question of math or fractions at all to know that "nine-tenths" is the same as "point-nine." I think that's pretty standard. I think the poor deli worker's confusion was not that she didn't get the math, but that she had never heard someone ask for such a specific amount. To speculate about her education is frankly uncalled for, particularly in a post with spelling errors and a complete disregard for capitalization and other grammatical niceties.

As one of the previous commenters said, I've done it with chicken tenders and also with chicken breast cut into chicken finger-size strips. It's worked out quite well, but they're more like chicken fingers than like good-ol' fried chicken even with the same battering process. Something about working around the bones makes it what it is, I guess.

They were sued for these ads, too, and lost--the court found they infringed the copyright on H.R. Pufnstuf. So creepy AND unoriginal. Good work, Mickey D's.

I'm feeling a little sickle to my stomachle just thinking about it.
