1) I can't eat Little Caesars or Chuck E. Cheese pizza, they make me dump my entire ass every time, or sometimes I'll legitimately puke. I don't know what unholy garbage they put in it, but it was bad.
2) Best pizza I ever had in my entire life is a pierogi pizza by a place in Tylersburg, Pennsylvania that doesn't exist anymore. It had a bechamel sauce, mashed potatoes, cheddar cheese, caramelized onions, and it's topped with sauerkraut (for the brave, like me. I'm brave.) and then they broil the shit out of it so everything gets a controlled char on it and crisped sauerkraut is super crunchy and salty and so good. It is VERY GOOD and does not exist anymore so that's depressing.
3) I hate eating (most) fruit UNLESS it's in unexpected places. Got a chicken salad? Throw some green apples in there. Delightful. 10/10. Goat cheese? Wrap that shit in philo dough with some blackberries, bake it off, drizzle some raw honey on it? That's a classic breakfast treat, baby.
4) I also love tuna salad (i fuck with a good tuna salad for lunch like 2x a week) but I get Drew's aversion to it b/c i can't eat rice for the same reason. We were extremely poor for like three and a half years while I was in college, and rice was a staple meal 4-5 nights a week. Awful.

I'm so glad to hear this episode today and learn about Quad Cities pizza. I learned today that I have to drive through the Quad Cities in the next few days so I'll definitely check out their pizza.
