Follow me on TWITTER

Hey all,

I thought I would steer everyone to my Twitter page because I post photos there WAY more often and might be a better move than waiting for me to post something here.

Been a while...

Hey all, it's been way too long. My news years resolution is to blog more....I swear.

PEQUOD'S - Thin crust - Lincoln Park

Before I get started, it needs to be noted that Pequod's Pan-Style Pizza might be one of the best pie's I've had in Chicago. Absolutely epic and must be tried before diving into their thin crust. Anyway, on to the review....

To be honest, I don't feel like this review is an accurate portrayal of a Pequod's thin, since I rolled the dice on a new topping recommendation. A friend of mine suggested that I try thin with sausage & pepperoncini's. I've never had this combo before but it sounded good to me: I love sausage (not a an enormous fan of it and still prefer pepperoni, but a I like it nonetheless) & pepperoncini's (which I admit that I absolutely love, but until this point, have only had it on sandwiches...and as I found out, is a much different experience than on pizza).
Unfortunately, the combo was not for me. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't necessarily BAD, but the spice of the pepperoncini's over-powered the rest of the pie so much that I couldn't really taste the sausage and I felt like I was more concerned about getting water than enjoying the food. It was during this time that I realized my friend who recommended me this combo is a big fan of spicy food and it makes sense that this is his go to.

I guess I should have known better....

I guess I am a bit lame and prefer something easier: Pepperoni and Mushroom is good enough for me.

So, I think I'm gonna have to give this place another try. I think it had potential but next time, I will stick to what works.

First attempt: 6 out of 10
Second attempt: ?????

Burritos!

Back again with another video. This one is about the dark side of burrito addiction.

Once again, this stupid blog has cut off some of the frame! arr!!!

PAUL & MONICAS - West Town/Ukranian Village

I've been waiting to review this place for a while because it has definitely become one of my favorites in the city.

The best thing about Paul & Monica's is that it's not trying to fall into a category. It's not 'Chicago Style' or 'NY Style' or 'Pretentious-Indie-wait 5 hours in line for a $20 small pie-Style.'

It's just a great pie. Pure and simple. It has everything in all the right places. If you live in Chicago and haven't tried this place, you're missing out.

...plus, they deliver to my apartment!

easily 9 out 10 slices

My first (real) attempt at video: TOUCH THE RIM!

Hey all,

Been a while...I'd like to take a break from the pizza posts and bring to you a video I helped make with John O'Brien & Nick Gage.

This was my first attempt at playing with and making a video. Well, I did a small short on a 'thunderstorm' a few months back but I didn't know what I was doing and compressed it all wrong and it looked like shit.

Anywho...this one was done right and was a blast to make....plus, I thought it came out hilarious.

Enjoy!

****UPDATE!!!!: The proportions are all out of whack on the video below, so I urge you to, instead, CLICK HERE for better viewing experience***

EyeBall Redux

I think the other draft had too many people in it, so I trimmed it down a bit. I think there is a little more breathing room in this one and the eyeball 'pops' a little more.
