In Italy, had a work colleague inquire about getting chicken on his pizza.
I thought the Italians were going to vomit. The waiter said no.
Thereās such a thing as bad pizza, but that has more to do with low quality ingredients and poor preparation than style.
I eat chili dogs with a fork. Otherwise I make a huge mess.
So what does that mean?
Conceptually it makes culinary sense to add acid to a hot dog (which is just fat and salt).

I like them both. Ketchup is my first go to condiment for hotdogs. As I have said recently, I was born in Chicago, so itās not genetics.

Deep dish is like regular pizza but they just max out the best parts, the cheese and the sausage. Whatās not to love?

Yea, same. When Iām not going to a specific Chicago dog place I always put ketchup on my hot dogs. Piles of grilled onions is the best single condiment though.

Maybe thatās the determining factor, whether you think āpizzaā is really about the crust or toppings.
I donāt like the crust on deep dish pizza.

Well I guess I donāt really care if people call it pizza or pizza casserole or whatever, all I know is that itās got crust, sauce, cheese, and whatever toppings you want, thatās a pizza in my book. Obv you donāt have to get sausage but that entire sausage layer is the best part.
Yeah I can see that, definitely on the thick side, but you gotta hold all those ingredients in there somehow. I donāt like the ones that are too doughy, the thinner crunchier crusts are better, like Pequods or Lou Malnatiās well done.
There is such a wide range of pizza types, styles, and qualities that often itās comparing apples to oysters. Like even here in the US the range goes from like Little Caesars, which is worse than most frozen pizza, to great local places, etc. And thatās without even discussing Chicago style and other regional variations like St. Louis (lol), Detroit, Greek (which is very common in the Boston area, I know that much).
And then you go to Italy and youāre like holy shit this is an entirely different thing.
If you love deep dish pizza, throw a couple of hot dogs in there and you really got a stew going.

My local Little Caesars is completely fine. Itās now $6.25 or something instead of $5 for a cheese or pepperoni, but itās hard to beat the price to quality/quantity ratio. It doesnāt keep well, though. The crust is terrible reheated the next day. The rest of it is ok.

Hell of a lede (pun) intended
Facing a crowd of journalists, inventor Thomas Midgley Jr. poured a lead additive over his hands and then proceeded to inhale its fumes for about a minute. Unfazed, he said, āI could do this every day without getting any health problems whatsoever.ā
Soon afterward, Midgley needed medical treatment. But the act would have dire consequences beyond his own well-being.

There is a disgusting pizza subreddit that pops into my feed occasionally. The pictures Iāve seen are horrifying
