Foodie Friday!


FF had to take a break due to work actually requiring my presence, but tonight is slow, so here ya go........

Pizza- mmmm. A dangerous luxury for us weight weenies, but a necessary one.
Easy to find after a gawdawfully hard effort in some gawdawful Central Valley/ Nevada armpit. Even bad pizza is good pizza in these times, and I have never had a bad pizza in Bishop after a few days of sloggin'.

But let's talk about the real deal here, the real classic masterpieces.

WINNER
Cheese Board, Berkeley
Damn, this was tough. Hit the Board on a Friday night and share whatever pie they have decided to make by communal decision on the median on Shattuck. Check out the Chez Panisse crowd across the street and know that you are at the top of your foodie game with a whole lot more scrilla in your pocket.
DAMN CLOSE 2nd
Zacharys Pizza
JS writes poems about this stuff. I have dreams about it. Cash only and long lines, and worth it all.
Makes crit racers out of spindly climbers every time.
Supa- garlicky caesar with those cool breadsticks.
I hear from those in the know that it's hard to find better in Chi-town.
Spinach and Mushroom the day after, when the spices have time to meld= damn.
Coming to San Ramon- I'm in deep.
SOMEBODY HAD TO BE THIRD
Amicis Pizza
Much hype, a little pricey. The best is the most simple, just cheeses on a thin crispy crust.
I wonder how much Ralph would eat for free........
