They should have tried the priest.

Kiddo #1 moved to Michigan about 18 months ago, and when I visited him at Christmas, part of my education was on the merits of Chicago/Detroit-style pizza.
Best of the bunch is below - what kiddo described as Detroit-style, from a place in Pittsburgh (Iron Born?). It was fantastic.

Tasting History just released a video about Chicago Deep Dish, and it goes into detail of how Alice Mae Redmond impacted the style.

I wasnât going to say anything until youâd had a chance to do so, but I had some good brats yesterday. Double-smoked with grilled onions & stoneground mustard on a hoagie roll.

I was boring. I just boiled mine and then browned it in a skillet, and served it with rice. Iâd had hot dogs two days in a row so I didnât feel like eating it on a bun. It was still yummy, though.

I was having a brat craving before the 4th, too, and picked up some cheddar brats. This was the first time Iâve bought dogs/brats since getting an air fryer. It works beautifully, fast cook with perfect crackling casing.

Hmm, I didnât even think about using the air fryer. I might have to try that.

Why do celebrity and YouTube chefs think âunctuousâ means savory? That is not what that word means. It can mean smug and smarmy, or it can mean oily and greasy. Iâm seeing chefs repeatedly using that word when theyâre trying to say something is really savory and yummy, andâŠthatâs just not what it means. Where are they getting this?

No, celebrity chefs on tv started using the word in a positive way to describe certain food about a decade ago. People have been telling them ever since that thatâs not what that word means, but they donât seem to care. So I guess the word is acquiring a new definition.

Too many large eggs, then.

Iâve always interpreted unctuous as rich, looking it up online another way it could be seen is as creamy. Both seems to vibe with the oily definition, i presume they mean it to be pleasantly oily and rich feeling.

The oily definition, at least until about a decade ago, was oily in the way that a used car salesman is oily. It did not carry a positive connotation.

In some contexts it could also be used to mean greasy in a more literal sense, like describing the feel of some soft minerals. I guess maybe they expanded from that, although âlike soapstoneâ doesnât really seem like something Iâd want in my mouth either.

Apparently it originally just meant anointed, in Latin. Thatâs where the oily part came from. And it had a positive connotation. Then, it acquired the negative, used car salesman meaning. Maybe itâs going back to the original, although I donât think the chefs are using to mean oily. Language is weird.
