More generally to the current thread: Detroit Pizza is basically a variation of Sicilian Pizza, and both are awesome IMO. No, I dont see the difference, thats why I wrote it. Both cases are people complaining over something they really dont know all there is to know. Actually, I dont think Yankee fans were booing Jones the player, they were booing the situation and Gettleman. If the Giants played it right, went with J Allen first and Jones with one of their later 1st, no one would have booed I dont want to debate, theres no reason to. My opinion is different than yours. You want to play it as a pissing contest, go for it. I will agree, Detroit Pizza is Sicilian just made in a deeper oil tray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Engage people, answer their posts or just by posting on a public message board and then get twisted and snippy when someone replies and argue over the process. You are the one who posts over the top trolling posts, like Darnold has a weak arm ala Chad or calling out Josh McCown for being a loser in a thread where people are wishing him luck in the future and then seems shocked when someone who knows better disagrees. You take everything far to personal. You actually could use a little NY attitude 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadaSteve Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 This comparison is FUN! As far as NY, I would take Chicago in a heartbeat as for a city. I dislike Vancouver and Toronto almost equally, and would take the mountain views of Banff or the coastal waters of the Nova Scotian shores any day. Perhaps what many love NY for are the things that I dislike, just like the things I like about Chicago are what someone from NY would avoid. Interesting to say the least. The one thing we all agree on; no matter where you are born in the U.S. or Canada, the vast majority of people have a hometown pizza place that you would take over any other for your final meal. With that said, I might have to drive to mine and get some! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its like no other city in the vibe it has, it has a soul that not every city has or to the degree it has. I've been to many cities that people love and to me, compared to NY its like comparing Olive Garden to a real italian restaurant. I agree with the last part, I've lived in NYC, NY, Florida. The best in whatever area I've been in has always been good enough to be my last meal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But any spot in Rome is better than NYC and I love NYC food. The tiniest pizzeria on some side street is better pizza than NY. And again, I love NY pizza. The food in Tuscany is different than Rome but off the charts great. My favorite city in Europe, Rome is my second favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were about 10 places I'd stake my life on right there. Most of them have chefs from Tuscany or Sicily. Milan is mostly risotto and cutlets with some osso buco thrown in.

Only here this week on business (been here 15 times in ten years). Had ossobuco con risotto alla milanese tonight! i’m based in Munich now but have responsibility for Europe and Russia and all the former Soviet states.

Fashion Cafe has a really good one on San Marco a couple of blocks from my old place. One great thing about being an American in Europe is that they eat so damn late. You can stroll up to you any restaurant without a reservation at 7 and get a table. What is strange is that they basically expect you to have the table for the night, so you'd think they'd care.
