So they best steaks I ever cooked were made from using a homemade grill. We cut a stainless steel argon bottle in half and made a grill out of it. It was just big enough to fit two decent sized steaks on it. Cooked them quick and held the heat in.

Almost $1,200 bucks, which is why I did not buy it (yet)
Being in New York, you may be familiar with Pat LaFrieda. His shit is amazing. I had access to his whole, organic, chickens for a while. I really am sad that I no longer have access to buying. His damn chickens are even great - and he is a steak guy!
There is a difference in how the animals are raised and butchered. I would put a good bird against a grocery (even a Whole Foods) bird every day of the week and would venture to say that with over 90% accuracy I could tell you which was which, upon tasting.

I could absolutely tell the difference, it helps when you raise your own meat birds lol
The thing is though, most people would prefer the factory birds because they are accustomed to the injected saline solution and the unnatural tenderness that comes from that and the 7-8 week butchering age. A laying hen is still barely more than a chick at that age.
are you guys familiar with the “crunchy” pepperoni I was talking about? if so, would you say that’s a function of the pepperoni itself or the thickness it’s cut in or the way it’s cooked? I love that stuff but it’s rare to find. my favorite pizza place in ohio does nothing but crunchy pepperoni.

Probably thickness of the pepperoni and the temp it’s cooked at. I agree though. Crispy pepperoni is the best.

Agree with bbiggs. High temp and the right cut on the 'roni is likely what makes this happen.
And I know we all have our differences over New York, Chicago, Detroit, pineapple, other non-traditional toppings, Brooklyn water etc, but can we at least all agree that people & places who use diced pepperoni are just THE ABSOLUTE WORST??!!

This shit?
Yep.
This stuff was common on the super cheap generic frozen pizzas, but I have seen it used in restaurants more and more in recent years. I guess it has a use in, say pizza dip, but on an actual pie? Fuck no you better be giving me the slice!

I didn’t choose the toppings, but these were pretty good pies.
I've seen (and endorse) 'extra cheese', but I've never seen anyone order 'extra black olives' or 'extra green peppers'.
So... I guess I'm saying, "You're weird."
(pizzas don't look too bad to be honest)
Mmm, all those extra black olives look good! Usually there aren't nearly enough for me. The only problematic "extra" I've ever had is with jalapenos. I like spicy, and usually my pizza place just doesn't put enough hot peppers - I was getting maybe two or three per slice. So I assumed asking for "double jalapenos" would make it about 5 or 6 peppers per slice. Well I guess the bastards at the pizza place decided to have a little laugh at my expense, because there were probably 40 sliced jalapenos on every single slice. The juices from them saturated the entire pizza, rendering the entire thing completely inedible, even after I picked most of the peppers off of it. It pissed me off!

Yeah, I love the crunchy pepperoni - I wish everyone did it that way! I'm also big on the crispy capocollo on top of everything. Hardly anyone uses it like that.

Roll with a bottle of your favorite salsa picante.
A good one (with your personal preference of heat) is a good add to most pies.

I can totally picture it- including the disappointment when you determined that the pie was inedible.
You wait 45 minutes for the pizza. You begin salivating the moment it arrived. You paid. You sat down. Aaaand... yah... disappointment.
You begin peering into the fridge and the cupboards, but whatever you choose to take the place of the pizza you were anticipating... it's far from adequate.

Just a freaking piss off.
Totally, and I didn't feel like I could call them and complain and get a new pizza because 1) I DID ask for extra jalapenos, and that's exactly what they gave me, lol, and 2) I don't like spit or snot pizzas. You never know.

When I worked at McD's in college, we'd have people order "extra extra" toppings on some sandwiches. That usaully constituted us taking the crown of the bun, punching the inside until it made a small bread bowl and filling it with whatever topping they asked for. Most of the time this was onions, sometimes tartar on a fish sandwich. They said "extra extra," they got extra extra.

That story ended so much better than I thought it was going to end.
Haha, yeah I never fucked with anyone's food in any gross type of way. I mean, they're already eating McDonald's, that's enough suffering as is. That and I swore an oath to food safety, and it's just the right thing to do.

An asswipe (perhaps the biggest asswipe) in high school worked at the pizza joint right by the school. Everyone knew not to eat from there when he was working.
He bragged about doing a 'rake*' on a pizza that a guy he hated ordered. What a total jackass.
*rake - to put one's hands down one's pants and to rake across your hairy parts, and then to sprinkle what came loose onto the pizza prior to putting it in the over.
Don't order pizza when Calvin is working, he gave Tommy a rake pizza one time.

Would be well less than half the price and would be entirely analog lol
Here's a good in-depth DIY to do it right, but it's obviously easily tweaked.
