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

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.

I wonder if PF replied to a voting message here? I didn't see this reply, or the original message for some reason, although I do have voting messages disabled. I wouldn't think I would miss a reply to a voting message, though. *shrug*

I've also grown up in Wisconsin, and I don't think there's really anything that could be considered "Wisconsin style" when it comes to pizza. Even Rocky Rococo's is kind of a Detroit style pizza, I suppose.

Local bars around here usually offer a thin crust variant, and then there's a bunch of terrible chains.

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 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.

And? I would think it's close enough to avoid someone's superiority complex (seeing as though it was an ongoing joke about cheese curds - to which I was blatantly trying to take any unclaimed credit for before the truth came out), but alas... I was wrong.

Don't think your geography works.

Noted. Thank you for joining in the conversation to add your two cents.

I've tried poutine once, and it wasn't in Canada. It was at some sort of Irish bar in Minneapolis, where parents went during a break in our daughter's volleyball tournament.

I was leary about ordering it, seeing as though it was .. an Irish bar in Minnesota, but we were pleasantly surprised with it. It had brisket, cheese curds, and a dark brown gravy that was pretty damn good, and well seasoned.

I get it, too. ;)

While you are correct about the US states Wisconsin borders, and that WI doesn't actually border Canada (because of Michigan's waters), Quebec does not border Lake Superior. Having driven the Circle Tour I can confirm that, on the Canadian side, Superior is surrounded by Ontario. ;)

I shall have to admit that it is not something that appealed to me so I did not try it while in Canada in 2017. I did try "real" Canadian 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.

The Polish place also had homemade polish sausage. Also delicious!

San Francisco is a melting pot, and the Richmond district, where I
lived for many years, had a neightborhood with a Russian Orthodox
church and a big Russian/Polish population. A fresh perogie is a thing
of beauty.

Within a 10-block radius, you'd find a polish deli, one of the best
dive tiki bars in the area (Trad'r Sam), Oaxacan/Mexican food (Tommy's)
Dim Sum and a wonderful hole-in-the-wall sushi joint.

Although there was that one time I said "Sorry you're such a dick MRO", but that was not an appology.

He is apologizing to MRO for replying to a message and quoting, and responding to, something I said back to MRO (in half of the mssage). The last half of his reply, IIRC, was to something MRO actually said.

Poutine FTW

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 only Dennys we have in town (that I've found) is attached to a truck stop and their prices are WAY out of line. We went there the other night and will NOT be going back there again.

I like Denny's, though the one that was nearest me closed years ago. There are still a couple in the metro area where I am though.

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 is that a friend of mine in middle school said he got food poisoning there once and I've been scared of it ever since. xD

from all Denny's because one guy got
sick once ;).
