Hot take: I might have eaten Pizza Hut a lot as a kid, but at least my parents didn't raise me on that uncooked tomato sauce, hot water/lard crust, and cheese monstrosity of a casserole that Chicagoans call "pizza." That shit is disgusting.
{ducks and covers}

I can't do Dominos ever since that video went viral of those two kids that were snotting on the pizza. I just can't get it out of my mind whenever I see Dominos.

My grandma preferred Red Baron to Tombstone, and I couldn't stand Red Baron. But she'd order Pizza Hut sometimes. I used get really anxious going there. It was like playing pizza russian roulette.

Yeah, where I grew up, frozen Tombstone pizza was your everyday pizza option, and Pizza Hut was for when you had people over or there was a birthday party or something.

It was. And Hardee's was awful. It's funny the writer despised Hardee's because that's has been my position since the second grade. Went there for the first time with a friend. I remember it as dark, dingy, and not good. Hated it with a passion.

Difficult to make pizza when a craving hits. A quick sauce will do the job just fine, cheese and toppings are easy, but the dough takes a day or two to ferment.

Well, I also travel a whole lot for work, and frankly, when you're in a small town with a deposition or trial the next day, the last thing you want is to come down with food poisoning from some local restaurant with a kitchen that might not be up to par in the cleanliness department. I learned that the hard way.

No shit. I always preferred the full-size pizzas when I was a kid. Even though I'd get free personal pan pizzas with BookIt, they just didn't taste the same. Looking back, I had thought for years it was the ratio of toppings to crust or something, but frozen vs unfrozen would totally explain it. A childhood

yes.

sometimes you host family members from Wichita, that's what they really, really want, and being a good host overrides other considerations. And once every couple years or so, maybe you just feel like having a Pizza Hut pizza.

It's funny how when Pizza Hut is the best pizza in town, it's actually not bad. It's like the restaurant managers and staff are like, "this is a real dining establishment," and seem to try harder. The best Pizza Hut pizza I've had was in Wichita, with the Pizza Hut in Wellington, Kansas a close second. The worst

I remember Pizza Hut Café in Wichita, a one-off Pizza Hut concept restaurant, used to be right by Towne East mall. Basically, it was darker (and thus, more classy), had glass cups instead of those clear red plastic ones (and thus, more classy), and served pasta dishes (and thus, more classy), including a baked

Just because "fun" isn't a word I'd use doesn't mean they weren't among the best games I've ever played.

DS1 and DS2 are a little clunkier and slower than DS3, but they're all great in their own ways. I was hooked from DS1. Just an incredible game that kept me chipping away at it for hours on end. I bought DS2 on PS4 a couple weeks before Bloodborne, bit into DS2, and then I got wrapped up in Bloodborne and then DS3. I

The task for the DLC was a fun, accessible challenge?
I'm pretty sure "fun" and "accessible" have never been driving forces behind dark souls.

Japan and China are fantastic for claw machines. Way better things to win, way better machines. They take layout far more seriously than here though, to the extent that they have people walking the floors to reset the layout after someone tries their luck, which ups the difficulty somewhat. Unless a lazy employee

Well, yes. I meant "bad" without the negative connotation. Perhaps "extensive" would have been a better word.

When I was in Japan during high school one of my buddies had me over. He made fried rice. He took a bottle of something from the shelf, said "this is the key, this makes EVERYTHING taste better."

Everybody associates msg with Chinese fast food, but, fun fact, Japanese food is just as bad. Hell, they have a food company called Ajinomoto (Japanese for MSG - direct translation "the essence of flavor").

Pretension for the masses!
