People like you are the result of me moving out of the New York City area. And trust me there's nothing wrong with Mickey D's but maybe it's just your ugly digestive system

If McDonald's does that to your digestive system, you should see a doctor. 

I blame the sausage.  Fast food breakfast sausage is noxious.  Actually if they could offer breakfast sandwiches not based on cured meats I’d partake in it more

Yep, think of the process:

Not sure if anyone noticed, but 20 million people lost their jobs this year.

I mean, if I don’t have to be at a place by a time there’s no reason to rush to a place and get necessities (food, coffee) on the way because procuring them at home would take too long.  If I have basically unlimited time at home (hooray pandemic?) I can make my own egg mcmuffin.  Or just eat grape nuts or something.

It’s not 700f, but I get pretty good results by putting my stone on the lowest rack and setting oven to 500f; let the stone sit at temp for at least 1hr before making any pies. The stone gets fully heated and won’t lose temp when opening the oven; plus it’s right next to the elements getting even hotter when the oven…

A quality fatty pepperoni leaks oil like the Valdez. If you get a NY slice without some red drip, your eating a much less flavorful pep.

I always order from Venezia’s.

The real issue being... not all pizza (I even suspect, not most) is made or intended to have “crisp” crust. Now, if you enjoy that cracker-like crust that that’s sometimes found in NYC, that’s fine.  But realize there’s more than one style of pizza, so that this advice is irrelevant for most folks.

I just make my own pizza. It’s fun!

The kind with tomato (a very juicy fruit) sauce

A proper slice of pizza should, if held by the crust out horizontal, should point almost straight down and drip a little grease on to the plate from the point. Crispy is straight out.

Lamenting on my death bed, “oh, if only I’d heated more pies when I had the chance.”

Do you like ketchup on your burger? Then it belongs on your burger.

I also like to sometimes add to the batter a touch of almond extract or some amaretto.

If you do like syrup, use REAL maple syrup, not imitation, maple-flavored, or the stuff that’s just labeled “syrup.”  You can thank me after breakfast.

A frequent ‘gauche’ meal of mine: 6 slices of French Toast topped w/3 over-easy fried eggs & some syrup (no butter, though use some to fry battered bread) served w/side of lotsa bacon strips or link/patty sausages, depending what’s in fridge etc.

I need both.

The very best French toast doesn’t even need syrup
