"Thai" chicken pizza is so wrong. And it's totally personal, I just don't believe chicken and Italian tomato sauce belong together. Even chicken parmesan, etc. taste wierd to me.

Then when you throw "Thai" in front of it, it sounds too bizarre to contemplate. Even worse: barbecue chicken pizza, which the gourmet pizza joint near me serves. I can't bring myself to try it.

Chicken creole is the only tomato and chicken combination I enjoy.

Agreeed. Chicken and tomato sauce on pizza doesn't sound good.

I'm more familiar with chicken and white sauce (white wine, garlic, etc.) on pizza. It's delicious.

sauce on pizza?!?!?!? WTF?

I maen, you can't really call it "pizza" at that point right?

Gawd is nothing sacred?!? Call it Thai chicken flatbread and I might try a bite.

Well, when I was in Philly eating Vietnamese pork, haggis (from the Italian market, and soft-boiled quail eggs, I still couldn't bear the thought of chicken on pizza.

And that statement aside, by far the most adventurous food I ever ate was in the great Midwestern city of Chicago, at Moto. Freeze dried curry marshmallows and smoked seaweed, anyone?

mcsmoke- glad to have another refugee from hollywood around here...

Thai pizza can be grrrrrreat, just have to be made by a thai pizza chef in california- thanks to wolfgang puck for destroying the sacred temple of italian pizza hegomony - and pizza was invented in NYC...

My favorite pie is still lombardi's clam pie - no red sauce, lot's of garlic and lots o'clams- yummmmmmmmmmmmmmm....

I'm still stuck on Pi Day yesterday. There was a guy on NPR (I'm a junkie remember) that could recite 12,887 places of Pi. He's the American record holder. They asked him to say a couple dozen places of it and he sounded like the Micro-Machine guy from the 80's.

AP, good luck with your LEED stuff. It improved a lot from version 2.1 to the current 2.2, from what I can tell. I am coercing a couple of my coworkers into taking the exam right now so I am interested to see how they do.

dubK, i saw that Pi guy (i think the same one) on dateline or something a few weeks ago. pretty amazing. doesn't he have a form of autism or something that gives him all of the mental benefits without most of the social problems that accompany it? (please excuse my broad and quick description)...

I always thought New Haven was the home to Pizza along with the Hamburger. Any Yale people want to help me out with that one?

I've been reviewing the proposed LEED for Schools that's being balloted right now, and it seems pretty good, other than the fact that we will never, ever sell a client on it because none of our clients are willing to do commissioning, which is a prereq.

Yeah, New Haven does claim that it has invented pizza as well as the hamburger. I think that Frank Pepe's Apizza claims to have invented the pizza (there are two other really good, really famous pizza places in New Haven -- Sally's Apizza and Modern Apizza. I'm not sure whether they have any claim to inventing pizza).

Louis Lunch, a restaurant near Yale's campus, claims to have invented the hamburger. In fact, they may have actually sued another restaurant claiming this same feat. I read about this somewhere ... lemme look for it.

thanks, Gerald (our instructor) is confident that with six 1.5hr classes and minimal studying, we should be fine...we'll see...

i'm interested in becoming accredidationisized for a number of reasons...among oothers, i see a lot of weakness in the LEED system, and i would prefer to be "knowledgably critical" rather than just opinionated.

one recent-ish LEED development that i appreciate is the regional credits, taking climate differences into consideration. that said, i still believe that the rating system is fundamentally flawed.

What I would like to see is alot of buildings from the earlier eras back rated, as I'm sure we'd see a few surprises in the lot.

steven,

papa john's??? c'mon, i expect more from an enlightened archinector like yourself... i've banned all national pizza chains... nothing can beat a local, whole-in-the-wall pizzeria... of course during the exurban interim we may have to excuse your chainiality...

Mar 15, 07 2:22 pm  ·

but Papa John's is easily the best of the chain shops. I miss a local chain from back in Phoenix called Sardella's. They had the best thincrust ever: still soft, with a tiny bit of crisp to the outside. Mmmmmmm.

Free lunch from the office today, to celebrate our first national AIA award.

Smokey and I hate to break it to the world, Frank is a Greek!
In fact most pizza joints in Connecticut are either owned by Greeks or Albanians.

well, papa john's is local in a way, john schnatter having started the company here and living here. friends of mine who grew up here used to drive for papa john's when it was ONLY a local shop. these days he's a big louisville community booster/benefactor. of course, he's also a pompous jerk, but....

i have to say that when i moved here, i hated papa john's pizza. the sauce is sooooo sweet. (who puts sugar in pizza sauce?!) but that particular pizza i described - jalapeno, pineapple, papa john's traditional - was one to which i was introduced by a friend and i got hooked. it's like a drug. i swear.

it's like a guilty pleasure. otherwise, yeah, i stick to the local restaurants when i can.
