UnRecipe: Tackling Pizza the Hut and Wishing the Schwartz Was With Me

We try to eat mindfully. We try to make good choices when it comes to meals. But sometimes you just have to say the hell with it all: I want deep dish, ooey-gooey pizza. I became literally possessed with the Pizza Demon, more specifically, Deep Dish Pizza Demon from the 9th Circle of Pizza Hell. I was dreaming of the stuff, and I can probably blame a lot of "Best of" food-related programming over the holidays pushing my food cravings into overdrive. Damn you, Food Paradise and Guy-freakin-Fieri. If you've never had deep dish pizza before, it's the masterful American Midwest bastardization of its Italian ancestor, trans-morphing the traditional thin, charred Neapolitan crust into a buttery, fried-dough-pie-crust-bowl, containing layers of sauce, cheese, meats, more cheese, more meats, and maybe some vegetables. God Bless America -- we don't do things half-heartedly, and definitely not when it comes to pizza.
