My wife is from Chicago but is all about the thin crust. Evolve, man!

I’ll tolerate that NY style stuff occasionally but thin crust as in crunchy is a step too far. I’m done growing.

You want the best thin crust you have ever had . . , ?

With you there. Chewy, not crunchy, please.

We may need a pizza thread.

I’m not saying we need a Pizza Thread but if we had one, I would definitely defend Pizza Hut as the best of the big four (all-crappy) pizza companies and that seems like easy fodder for the rest of you to insult so . . .

Pizza Hut, ruled my youth.  The Pizza Hut, in Woodstock, VA  . . . is still, as close as you can get to, the way they used to be.

I haven't had one in many years, but a greasy pan pizza with a red plastic cup full of Pepsi held a very special place in my heart from 1985 to the mid 90s.

I know my brother was probably partial to the fried clams at Howard Johnson's, but for this farm boy, a family trip to Pizza Hut was the ultimate treat as a kid.

I also enjoyed that deal Yada


I think it’s called “The Hut” now

Black Keys, etc. Merriweather Lawn deal:

https://www.groupon.com/deals/gl-lnc-the-black-keys-baltimore-2020 

first-time subscribers can get a Washington Post digital subscription for $29 for the first year.  that's ~70% off the usual $100 price.  it's a 24-hour sale, offer only valid until tomorrow (Thursday) around 11 a.m.'ish, but don't hold me to the exact time.  i wouldn't wait until the last minute if you're interested in this…

offer doesn't work for existing subscribers, unfortunately (but you could always use a different email address…)

LiveNation is doing a "Return to Live" sale: $20 lawn tickets for their sheds, like The Lube and Pier Six.

This is true but I think it’s $20 plus charges


So could end up being $35 for a lawn ticket to the lube…not exactly a great deal


The play is to get on lawn for one of these and buy an upgrade to the seats


But then you are probably talking $45

I can’t think of a show on their calendar I am excited enough to schlep over there and pay $45 for

Black Crowes is somewhat enticing but not $45

YMMV

I've had free tix to the lube and not gone (cheap trick/Joan Jett…which are bands I both like)
