Actually, pizza originated in Turkey. Their version was just leftovers on 
bread without the cheese of course.

Chicago is where the "deep pan" pizza came from, ain't it?

Just a bit o' trivia from the foodie. ;)


We had a party of 20 for a birthday celebration at the restaurant 
yesterday, and boy was it tough! I was in the kitchen yelling at everyone, 
making sure everything went out in order, etc. My soles are farked.

The flipside is that you get comments like "best prawns I've had in my 
life", "amazing green curry", "how do you do that" etc. ;)

Madhu
