Yep, that's often where the best food is found all over the world - in the little out-of-the-way "hole-in-the-wall" places.

Agreed. I went to this one "hole-in-the-wall" pizza place in Madeira Beach, Florida, and I mean, I'm a Wisconsinite; we pride ourselves on
our pizzas,
I'm from California, we have to borrow other state's pizzas. Otherwise, we end up with a gluten-free crust white pizza with no tomato sauce, pesto and ricotta cheese. And artichokes.

Interesting - I did not know that. What characterizes a Wisconsin pizza? Thick crust, thin crust?

I had to go for training in Chicago late 90's, the Chicago Pizza was pretty good, thick crust but the crust was very well done. IMHO the crust made the pizza.

I think Chicago is known for deep dish pizza, isn't it? I enjoy that sometimes, but thick crust on a pizza isn't my favorite.. I tend to prefer a thin crust on a pizza. With a thick crust, I feel like there's too much bread.

It was pretty good, but it is definitely not a thin crust, and that does seem to be the trend these days. The place where I had the pizza actually had one of Michael Jordan's old jerseys hanging on the wall. Like I said, I'm a connoisseur of pizzas.

their food is organic and raised well, with customers wanting to go see the farm where the farm where the chickens are raised for the

That sounds like something that could be from Oregon too.. There's a pizza chain in my area called Pizza Schmizza that makes some unique pizzas similar to that. Also, I recall an episode of the TV show "Portlandia" that highlighted the way some people like to make sure their food is organic and raised well, with customers wanting to go see the farm where the farm where the chickens are raised for the restaurant they're visiting.

Personally, I miss the PNW style pizza from back in the day like at Pietro's or Sunshine. Fultano's on the coast is my favorite thin PNW style pizza. Then there's Nona Emilia's in Aloha, not PNW style, but a different kind of thick crust I've never found anywhere else..
You can take the loaf home and put > in the dishwasher to use again -
or so I've heard.

You know, I never really gave much thought to that. I guess Rocky
Rococo's started here, and they were "pan-style" pizza. Other than that,
I guess I was just born and raised here and whatever my first
impressions of pizza were, that's what I go by.
We can definitely claim beer brats and cheese curds, though! ;)

The brats maybe, but I think Canada might have something to say about the curds... or, at least, how they should be served. ;)

Wisconsin is bordered to Canada. They stole it from us. :)

Have to swim halfway across Superior to get to Canadian border.
Don't think your geography works.
Didn't get much time to sight-see, but did get a chance to try poutine
on the ferry from Vancouver to the island...
Now I get it.

Wisconsin is bordered by Illinois to the south, Minnesota to the west, Lake Michigan to east, and Lake Superior and Michigan U.P. to the north. Have to swim halfway across Superior to get to Canadian border. Don't think your geography works. Besides, is Quebec really Canada? LOL.
As to serving, fresh from the vat, still warm with their squeaky richness.
I went on a whirlwind business trip to Port Hardy a few years back, I
was administering systems at wind farms and we had a big one up there. Didn't get much time to sight-see, but did get a chance to try poutine
on the ferry from Vancouver to the island...
Now I get it.

Bacon, and I did try out Tim Horton's. I also tried out a Polish restaurant in Thunder Bay, where I had my first perogies (yum!), and an Indian restaurant in the Soo.

Nobody has ever appologized to MRO for anything.
Although there was that one time I said "Sorry you're such a dick MRO", but that was not an appology.

Not sure if you'd call this the "American version", but go to Denny's and get an order of fries "covered and smothered". By default it's with the white gravy, but you could ask for brown gravy. It's that with cheese and onions. I usually get it without onions.

The last time I went into a Denny's was approx 45 years ago with my first wife. We were eating while she filled out a job app to work there. The manager was sitting at the table with us talking about the job. I was sitting across the table from my wife watching a 1" roach crawl on her.
That was my last trip to Denny's...

Normally I don't let one bad experience ruin the whole thing for me. I've been to Denny's plenty of times and have always enjoyed it and haven't noticed cockroaches or anything.
The only thing I know about Denny's
that a friend of mine in middle scho
said he got food poisoning there onc
and I've been scared of it ever sinc
