  No really, it was a greasy pile of shit. - You win no favors with the trump and SP on that - http://www.restaurantpi.com/ http://www.restaurantpi.com/ is good but it's not the best. Obama loves it and pissed of chicago for it though - Seriously though, pizza is a regional thing. I'm not going to convince you that your pizza is shit no matter how crap the ingredients and the velveta topping are. You're not going to convince a CPK fan that their pizza is shit. - The best Chicago style pizza is actually in STL. That's a challenge and a threat.

      Okay. I can't really pass that up. Let me know when you're in certain parts of the US, STL, or SEA and I'll let you know what you should look for. Threat of good food taken.

        I moved to STL earlier this year and am always looking for good restaurant recommendations.

> "your "immigrant" food however is quite good" As an immigrant I'm struggling to find a way to parse that sentence that isn't at least slightly derogatory. Isn't pizza an "immigrant" food? Or General Tso's chicken? California rolls? In the context of being in the USA, wouldn't French food be "immigrant food"? I'm not trying to be purposely obtuse - but like the word "ethnic food" I can't see any reasonable definition that doesn't betray an unfamiliarity with what's being discussed. I have a feeling that "immigrant food" falls into the same category as "I like ethnic food" - it's a concept that doesn't even parse if you've got even a basic familiarity with a wide range of cuisines.

  Immigrant food is all of the food that isn't already americanized. To me it's a good thing. Influx of new stuff. I'm all for the new tastes. And yes all of that is and yet it's now 'murican as general cho's chicken. OIt's all a lookout for foods I've never seen before as well as getting better and better at the giant melting pot of food we already love. I'm not trying to be a jerk but and I know it feels bad to stay "Immigrant food" but that's what it is. New food new people. I love it. Where are the martians. I want martian nachos.
