How about some deep dish pizza from Giordano''s in Chicago?

Deep dish pizza isn't pizza. It's tomato pie. Hell, they cut the thin stuff into squares here, too. That goes against the laws of physics!
Pizza means "flat circle cut into pie shaped pieces" >>
Where you been?
I got out of Chicago just in time, before the return of the Ice Age there. Here out in God's country we got 3-4 inches of snow last night, with a temperature of +10F this morning, and they delayed school for two hours.
Back in Chicago they would call that "Opening Day!"

Yep.... worked outside of Chicago for nine months last year.... always had to specify 'thin crust' when ordering pizza.... they blew it once, did not know until i got to the hotel... it was nasty....not pizza at all... Cheers, RickO
I guess I'd eat Chicago style if the Wolf was knocking at my door, but otherwise I'll go with North Philly thinnish to medium crust. Tends towards both sweeter and more tart with less cheese than the gooey butterfat-laden crap they serve in Manhattan.
Let's face it. Chicago hotdogs/Original Ray's. In the written words of Laurie "KNOT ! ! !". Sometimes it amazes me at what vast cultural divides some here are able to bridge just because of a shared fascination with (sometimes) shiny round stuff.
To kosherize this thread for members who worry about Forum rules, perhaps someone might post a picture of a coin or medal with pizza among its motifs. Promotional pieces for Wolfgang Puck are KNOT eligible. .

As coins, pizza and collectors share the same shape, I think that nexus has been established.
Outside of Chicago (ketchup?.... really?) dealers and hotdogs have established a nexus by shared use of a common condiment which accessorizes both....... Mustard. .

"Do you know they spend millions of dollars to put up factories just to manufacture mustard? Do you know those factories employ thousands and thousands of men, just to manufacture mustard? Do you know know those men take care of thousands of families and homes? All on account of mustard? And you, just because you don't like mustard...what do want them to do? Close those factories down and put those people out of work?"

New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.
Even Chicago thin crust pizza is better than that SOS they sell in New Yawk, but Chicago deep dish pizza is the best pizza in the world!

As a lifelong Philly boy, you are of course, correct. Outside of Italy, Philly is the ONLY place to get good pizza. I won't even get into what masquerades as a cheesesteak outside of Philly.

There is a great multiple episode Youtube video of that 2010 meeting of the Rare Gold Club. Probably the best delivery of that meeting was from Kevin Lipton.
GEEZ Analyst, I'm humbled. Rereading them was great because I haven't altered my philosophy at all.
There's one segment that has special importance to me...
Dr. Duckor received an e-mail that said ‘from an admirer’ in the subject line. Duckor asked his wife whether he should ‘open’ this e-mail. She said, “go ahead, open it.” It was from Jay Brahin, who indicated that he was extremely impressed by Dr. Duckor’s PCGS registry sets and Brahin sought advice. “I started talking with Brahin. Within a month, I decided I would put my Saint Collection back together,” Duckor recalls. “I credit Jay Brahin for rekindling my interest.”
This is EXACTLY what happened and I do still have the email from Aug. 13, 2003. Steve and I are still best friends. We still passionately talk coins among many other things. Meeting him was as meaningful as building a great set. Thanks a lot.
PS. Coindeuce...that talk by Kevin was the most interesting and fascinating story of any coin person I know. It's worth watching every segment! That was one (buzzed) fun night. Haha.

Those videos are of a different meeting of the same club. While Kevin Lipton commented at times, as did I, Lipton was not a featured speaker at the meeting that I reviewed. The level of numismatic content at the meeting I reviewed was extraordinarily high. Indeed, the discussions, on Jan. 6, 2010, were exceptionally worthwhile, IMO. Please read:
SaintGuru: <<There's one segment that has special importance to me...>> It is in my article on Dr. Duckor. Collectors of gem quality coins now can learn a great deal from Dr. Duckor's wisdom and experience.
Personally, while I enjoy examining gem quality coins, I believe that there are a great many, truly scarce, naturally toned, circulated, classic U.S. coins that are excellent values for most collectors. I realize, though, that my personal views are beside the topics of this thread.
Even so, one important point that collectors can learn from Dr. Duckor and from SaintGuru is that, throughout the history of coin collecting in the U.S., most sophisticated collectors preferred coins that have naturally toned and preferred coins have not been apparently dipped or otherwise modified.

I will say the audio is not very good, so I recommend using headphones and extreme concentration. But well worth watching.
