and just like my wife, you're wrong.I'm from NY. An islander from the East, specifically.
I miss the trees, and the pizza. Real pizza. Sorry Hoosiers, you don't know what you're doing when it comes to pizza...
But there's just something about east coasters and their constant need to degrade anything but their thin, greasy cardboard with no toppings.Different States - Different Pizza
Aurelio's Super Six & Rocky Rocco's Garden of Eatin - are both good in different ways
No he ain’t. See, there’s “American” pizza, and then there’s REAL pizza. My wife’s spent a few years in Italy, and we have yet to find a REAL pizza here. There’s a little bar near downtown Lafayette that has a side business pizza deal during the summer called Snugg’s Pizza that’s actually really good, but that’s the closest we’ve found. Phoenix had several legit Italian pizza joints , all run by legit Italian pizzaiolos. A true Italian pizza is a thing of beauty!and just like my wife, you're wrong.
Sorry man, you just aren't pizza-enlightened we New Yorkers prefer our pizza not to taste like burnt crackersBut there's just something about east coasters and their constant need to degrade anything but their thin, greasy cardboard with no toppings.
You need to go south of Indy. Lots of hills and hollers down there and decent roads.No he ain’t. See, there’s “American” pizza, and then there’s REAL pizza.

For me:
-MOUNTAINS! I’ve quickly grown to love Indiana, but holy eff is it flat here. I learned to fly in and around the San Tan’s back home. Here? It’s green, but it’s FLAT. Makes training students on simulated engine failures tricky because everywhere is a good spot to land lol.
-The smell of a desert rain. Nothing else compares.
-Family/friends. Both our families are back in AZ, and we both grew up there, so almost all our friends are there to.
-Public land. Man, drive outside the city limits a ways and you could shoot and hunt almost anywhere. Almost all the land out here is private, so finding shooting/hunting/camping spots is WAY more difficult (anybody near Lafayette need some vermin/pest control??).
-REAL pizza and gelato. There’s a place in NE Mesa run by an Italian family that all graduated from a “gelato university” and they made the most amazing gelato, truly life changing stuff. I don’t think I’ve even seen a gelato place in Indiana yet.
-Salad bars/buffets. Like, seriously, WTF y’all?! There are NO good salad joints here. I like fried foods as much as the next guy, but good freaking grief, where’s a guy gotta go for a healthy salad option??
-Good riding roads/freeways. I’m sure I just need to explore more, but finding GOOD routes to hit on the sportbike out here is rough. The roads are all too straight, too rough/filled with pot holes, have ridiculously low speed limits, or have hazards on them (cut grass, dirt, wild life). I just wanna open it up once in awhile and almost get my knee down sometimes lol.
Don't understand this; nobody's eatin cardboard where I come from.greasy floppy cardboard ain’t it
That's all NY style pizza is. some acidic sauce smeared on cardboard covered with greasy cheese. You gotta fold it to even eat it. That's just weird.Don't understand this; nobody's eatin cardboard where I come from.
I not really a fan of open faced sandwiches but that sauce sounds really good. Maybe there is some good food in Illinois after all.I had to look it up too...

You've got that right. It's a must stop any time I'm in Texas along with Buc-ee's. I'm not sure how the other fast food burger places compete with Whataburger.I also miss Whataburger. There is nothing close to it around here.
I've been wanting to try something called a "Hot Brown". Depending on the restaurant, it will either be turkey or turkey and ham on some kind of bread (roll or Texas toast, etc), covered with cheese sauce and bacon.I not really a fan of open faced sandwiches but that sauce sounds really good. Maybe there is some good food in Illinois after all.
Both of those things are on my "Things I want to try" list.You've got that right. It's a must stop any time I'm in Texas along with Buc-ee's. I'm not sure how the other fast food burger places compete with Whataburger.
After you visit Whataburger, wait at least several weeks before visiting your favorite fast food burger place if you don't want it to be ruined for you.Both of those things are on my "Things I want to try" list.
