Racism...Forever?

I know a guy whose favorite hangover food (though for that phase of his life, I should just say "breakfast") was grits with two eggs sunnyside up. Before he put the eggs on top of the grits and dug in, he'd put soy sauce on the grits. A lot.

Had cheese grits and omelettes for supper just last week. Hold the soy sauce for that one, though.

 

My dad ate his eggs that way, but I never could. Must be scrambled or hard-boiled.

I make pseudogumbo and pseudojambaaya using grits. The people who've tasted it are complimentary. I eat enough "Chinese" food with more soy sauce than I need already. That stuff is practically liquid salt.

 

Love grits.

Also, what kind of person can't find good food in the south??

 

Interesting opinion piece from a young female Muslim doctor.

I Thought My Ivy League Degrees Would Protect Me From Bigotry. I Was Wrong.

Recently, the wife of a prominent Boston businessman -- one of my many wealthy, white patients at Massachusetts General Hospital -- greeted me this way: "So what foreign medical school did you go to anyway?"

 

Then you crapped all over grits. Interesting.

Anyway, behold The Pizza Belt, heathen. Learn it, live it.

 

Worked out quite well for them ya hafta admit

 

After having traveled all over this great land from sea to shining sea....I whole heartedly agree. Spent 1 1/2 yrs walking from The World Trade Ctr to Eastern LI. Enjoyed every bite of the way.

 

I had my worst non-gas station pizza in MS about 6 yrs ago.

 

This was worst than Little Caesar's. I was tired, wet and hungry & I could still tell how bad this pizza was.

 

Grew up in Western Ma. In the 50's there were 3 exceptional Pizza joints in the area. Paul's Cafe on Dwight St in Holyoke, Bridge Cafe in Chicopee and Aqua Vita Restaurant in Spfld. That's it!! My Papa was a pastry chef so the 1st pizza ever....he made. Thin crust, just the right amount of toppings, freshly grated Reggiano Parm and fresh Motz.

Ambrosia!!

 

In New Hampshah they put friggin' cheddah on the pies.

So ya bowlin's retahded. Bill Belichik's retahded. And ya pizza's wicked retahded too.

 

I wish the Pizza Belt made its way down to the DC area...

 

Upstate also has very good local pizza. Every Friday is Sergi's or Josie's unless we decide to make it.

 

Get brave and try making your own. Roll the dough out [I like thin crust], brush w/olive oil, preheat oven as high as it will go and if you have a pizza stone...use it, throw crust in for 5 min, yank it out, top it [not too much], back in oven, check after 5 min [at least].

I make a mean white shrimp garlic pizza!

 

Mr and Mrs Mickey's in Lake Placid used to be pretty good... Rochester is pizza hell as far as I know.

Best I ever had was at a hole in the wall joint by North Station in Boston.

 

DC apparently has a few really good joints. There is no DC style pizza but there are supposedly some good imitations. Though, beware of hipsters.

 

Yeah: pretty good pizza in Cooperstown. Also some shit chain pizzas. Which is fine, because that's where the busloads of little-leaguers tend to go.

 

Seems that the little hole in the wall joints turn out best. Was a similar joint on Rockaway Blvd in Bklyn w/2 2'sq tables, no chairs and just wide enough to get in an out. Went by it on a job and kept returning most days even after being 20 miles down the road.

I've just finished a bowl of House Wor Wonton Soup, A bit of Shrimp Egg Foo Yung and 3 Salt and Pepper Chicken Wings.

Ps....as this is the Racism thread...some of the best bagels I had on L.I. were gotten at a Vietnamese Bakery!

 

We do have a place called "The Italian Store" which is pretty solid for NY pizza and "Philadelphia style" subs it also has a nice little grocery.

 

One thing we are not lacking for in this area is Vietnamese food. It is great.

 

But does Cooperstown have cold cheese pizza like Oneonta? Was up at SUNY-Oneonta one long weekend and every drunken night finished with cold cheese slices. Makes no sense but the cold cheese mixed with a warm slice was actually pretty damn good. But it might've been all the alcohol...not sure.
