Off-Topic The Melting Pot: a Food Thread

[CholoCane]

for orlando, I actually like antonellas in winter park, brads underground for deep dish, and park pizza in lake nona airport area.

for miami, I haven't gotten to joes yet but I can't imagine it being as good as the NYC original, but andiamos is still one of my favorites, Steves for a late night slice

SoughDough in Orlando is absolute gas. You gotta try that spot.

Had it. It was good.

Vegas has a ton of selections from some heavyweights in the industry but overall most of those offerings fall way short of the originals.

Yeah I was surprised I went to ***** Kitchen there not expecting it to be very good honestly

But it turned out to be a really good meal

But I know exactly what you mean, it’s kinda imported so you expect the quality to dip

I think deep dish is trash. I just can’t get down with it. That ain’t pizza imo.

Completely depends on where you're talking. There aren't a lot of great restaurants between NYC and Boston, mostly chains and mediocre diner types.

You can get real great seafood in Connecticut on the way up to Boston. A lot of mom and pop shops do great scallops and lobster rolls.

Pizza in Fl is toilet water compared to the N.E..... the water in Fl is pure trash....hence the Pizza dough being crap. Even Miami Pizza that everyone raves about is so-so...

I can’t remember if it was you or someone else I’ve had this convo with. It has to be the water. The bread sucks in FL. Such a difference from what I get in CT/NY.

Even if it ain't "pizza", it still tastes good.

They don’t really use ketchup. Not much sauce and they use a creamy thick cheese called catupiri in addition to the mozzarella. May differ throughout the country. I spent a summer there but was in the Southern part called Parana.

What's Brazilian style exactly? I actually lived in Brazil for almost two years but all i remember is they put ketchup on and used a fork and knife. I didn't eat a ton of it but can't remember other big differences. I don't think they used much sauce but I could be wrong on that.

It's heavy on toppings. Pepperoni isn't common in Brazil, they use sausage mostly. Like TOCane mentioned they use catupiri cheese which is awesome.

Chicago Beef sandwiches in Chi-town deserve a culinary award every yr. Orlando's food scene, (aside from a few) is mediocre at best. I'm close friends with Chefs/owners Jim & Julie Petrakis....in my opinion, best restaurant in Orlando, and has been for a dozen yrs.

Chicago Italian beef sandwiches are the ****.

It's not......it's a friggin casserole......Lol at ANYONE who thinks Chicago Pizza being better than NYCs....Even New Jersey's pizza lays waste to that crap.

Wtf does that even mean??....Only a complete Moron would think the South has anything on the North in ref to Culinary fare. I'll put 2 Soul Food restaurants in NYC (one in Harlem) up against anything the South can offer.

More selfies, less culinary advise.

Antonios market maitland, downstairs restaurant has the best pie.

Maybe along the coast, I've had some pretty good stuff on the Cape.

Chicago pizza is utter trash, Detroit is surprisingly good but NYC is King

Naw fam Detroit goated ain't no surprise about it.

Being pro Chicago and anti everything Detroit, I was surprised. Moving to metro Detroit has been an utter disaster for me but the Pizza was one of the very few surprises.

Detroit has been rated #1 Pizza last 2 years.

Yep no pepperoni and more sausage which is a crowd favorite the Calabresa.

Yeah coastal is much better. Inland Connecticut is like North Gainseville.
