Great post PJ.
As you have surely noticed pizza can be a touchy subject. Recently I was in NYC and mentioned to someone that my favorite was Two Boots. The room went silent and someone close by said "Them's fighten words!"
Yikes!! People...It's Pizza! Everyone has their favorites and one persons "authentic" is another persons imposter. At the end of the day it's about what you like and what brings a fond memory of a great time to you.
Personally I love cornmeal in my crust, Two Boots has quite a bit of it in theirs which is why I love it...that and the fact that they offer crawfish and anduie (I'm sure that's spelled wrong) sausage.
Bottom line...if you don't like cornmeal, don't add it. If you like sauce versus diced tomatoes...use it. Who cares? Just enjoy it and be thankful for PJ and the gang for providing us with all of their support and great ideas.
Thank You King Arthur. Everyone there always goes out of their way to provide the best service and I will always be a fan.
Thanks, Peggy. I love the different viewpoints, so long as no one gets too strident in defense of their position. Here at KA, one of our business tenets is to "disagree agreeably" - good advice all around. And, English major that I am, I can actually spell it - andouille! PJH
