I started working for The Hut around that same time period. Started as a driver, but moved into the kitchen and a management position. Fun fact: we would get so busy on Friday nights (we were in a city housing a huge university) that our manager used to supply us with “yellow jackets” in the kitchen. Yellow jackets were essentially legal, over the counter speed. This was ~1999-2001ish.
Suggestion: Food truck innovations. They're no longer the Roach Coaches of days gone by. I once saw a food truck that specialized in grilled cheese sandwiches.
There's also some specialize in Tacos & Burritos, they would drive around the my grandparents neighborhood like a Ice cream truck in oregon on tuesday and thursday. Not sure if they still business now as that was several year ago.
I'm more impressed that they managed to grow so much variety in Saskatchewan. Lived here all my life, and man is the soil awful. The weather conditions too. Sure, its fine for oats and barley and peas and all of that, but it really doesn't like herbs or a lot of leafy/vine growths. Still possible, just takes quite a bit of work. Come down to Saskatchewan - Where its so flat that your dog can run away, and for the next three days you can still watch it disappear.
The DOMI-Copter reminds me of the Claw machine in arcades. The claw is programmed to lose it's grip and will inevitably drop the payload as soon as it gets close to the recipient...I don't want the same fate befalling my pie.
When Queen Margherita visited her first pizza parlor (so the legend goes) she was treated to 3 pizzas: Lard and Mozzarella, Tomato sauce garlic and sardines and Tomato Sauce and Mozzarella. Imagine how different history would be if she picked the first one.
Pizza is one of the most socialable foods ever. Second would probably only be Burgers (if we are still Westeners) and followed by any nation's famous food ....like Paella, or an indian Naan food, Chinese rice dishes? But pizza equals Party
Not sure, but it looked to me like Pizza Squirrel (in Chicago) was chowing down on a slice of NY-style pizza, rather than the deep-dish variety Chicago is known for. (Not trying to knock on deep-dish pizza, BTW, as I was a big fan of Pizzeria Uno growing up.)
OMG, the rewritten Terminator quote is pure gold 🥇 😂 I loved that scene as a youngster, I can remember it verbatim. "Listen, and understand! That terminator is out there. It can't be bargained with, it can't be reasoned with, it doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear, and it absolutely will not stop. EVER! Until you are dead!" 😂 (Sarah gasps somewhere in there, but I forget when exactly)
Wait, are you implying that there's people out there that don't order their pizzas with a spider man doing cart wheels on it? I don't want to know those people.
Oh my GOSH - a colleague of mine worked at Zume around 2018. I remember looking up the company and scratching my head wondering why on earth he entertained the idea of working there.
Made me wonder if they still had Shakey's Pizza. That's the one I remember from when I was a kid. Looks like if I want one, the closest is in Washington State or California.
@weirdhistoryfood Any thoughts of a video regarding the history of the Recipe Book in general, particularly as we enter the digital/information age? Multi-faceted topic, imho.
The last one pissed me off the most, because our world crisis on food and they’re making a giant pizza that’s probably going to be thrown away because the FDA will not allow it to be given away! Welcome to America!
Strange...the list of recommends on the right is showing the video on all the BBQ styles across the US rather than the video on all the pizza styles. Probably just as well...NO ONE needs to be exposed to Altoona style...
Exactly what I was thinking. Unless they wrap it in something, you're literally paying for an inedible part of the pizza. Seriously, who would want to eat something that has come in contact with so many people handling it? Not to mention, all of the crud it's going to come in contact with during delivery or even transporting it home if you picked it up there.
back in the 90s pizza hut had half baked pizza for there supreams. buy 1 at reguler price and up to 10 at half price. best deal ever. freeze them and when ready just finish baking them. instructions included.
America is the real home of pizza, its pizzas warm bed & fresh clothes. America will be there for pizza when no one else will. & on pizzas final day (god forbid) America will give pizza a 974 gun salute followed by the releasing of a single battalion of bald eagles. God bless Pizza.
Actually a supermarket in the state of Queensland, Australia is now doing small grocery shops & flown by a drone to the address given. Could the future be that the sky is full of drones dropping off everyone's shopping & take away!?!?
