Chicago: We're more than pizza. Really.

By TVTalker , 03/14/2008, 0 Comments

I decided to watch the first episode of Top Chef for one reason: I wanted to see how long it would take before they had to do a pizza challenge. And lo and behold, I didn't have to wait long because the very first Quickfire challenge was to make a personalized version of a Chicago deep-dish pizza. Yummy.
Unfortunately, a lot of things went wrong, including not realizing how much dough rises in an oven (seriously, folks!) and some botched ingredients. When presented to guest judge Rocco DiSpirito, somehow, a MARMITE PIZZA was in the top 8. Let me repeat that for you: A PIZZA with MARMITE beat out at least 8 other pizzas. Do you know how bad your pizza has to be for it to lose to marmite? Really, really bad.

First what's wrong with being known for good deep dish pizza and wind ? What I did not understand did nobody bring their food companion ? I thought every chef had one ? Everyone of the chefs I have met or talked to highly recommended that I get one, and keep it handy for things I come across and do not know. I wonder what Houston is known for never asked anybody from outside the place? What food do you think would represent your area ? I would say for Houston I would say it has to be Brisket.
