I live in New York City. I love dogs. I'm single. My best friend lives in Tokyo. I've never been outside the US. I eat ice cream when I am sad. I am going to go to Tokyo soon. I recently got a passport. I will spend two weeks in Japan. I am visiting a friend who works there. I like exploring new places. I like American sushi. I want to try authentic Japanese sushi, especially pufferfish.
I'm from the midwest. I'm a college student. I'm a retired veteran. I love my girlfriend. I love chocolate ice cream. I might also travel to Japan soon. I've been to Japan in military. I love sushi and green tea ice cream. I know a lot about Japanese sushi. I like pufferfish pizza. I know a great restaurant in Japan.
I have most of my packing done now! Thanks for the advice! No problem! Just let me know if you have time to get together. So, living in NYC you must have access to all sorts of cuisine! What's your favorite besides sushi? I like all sorts of things but I definitely love New York pizza.  A really good slice is hard to beat. Oh yeah, I hate the overuse of the term 'iconic' but the slice? Pizza icon right there. It's weird, because I love a good thin crust but I'm also a big fan of Chicago deep dish. Definitely different moods though. What do you like on your slice? I like everything--the more the merrier.  Pepperoni, salami, sausage, peppers, olives, mushrooms.  But if I'm going simple I like sausage the best.  I've never had Chicago style pizza though.  Really curious to try it sometime.  Did you have it in Chicago itself? No, there is (or was? haven't been for a while) a chain called Pizzeria Uno, that started in Chicago and there was a location where I lived. Deep dish starts with a thick crust, then cheese and toppings, then a chunky spicy sauce on top of that. It's heavy! I love the sauce getting a rich taste from being baked in the oven like it is.  Wow, that wounds intense.  Do you like the same toppings on your deep dish pizza as you like on a thinner crust? Not really. I like a deep dish with pepperoni, sausage, onions and peppers and I don't really dig the same combo on regular pizza. Thinner crust I usually get pep/shroom/sausage or bacon/onions. You ever have a white pizza (garlic butter instead of tomato sauce)? No, I never have.  That sounds really interesting.  Where did you try that and how was it? One of the local pizzerias. A lot of them have white pizza. Not sure about Domino's/Papa John's/whatever. It's not exactly a common combination but I like it with broccoli, green olives, mushrooms, and pepperoni. If you make sure they put the broccoli on top of the cheese it gets nice and crispy. Then squeeze a lemon wedge over it and it's great. Oh wow, that does sound great.  Here I was thinking I knew about pizza living in New York but I've apparently only scratched the surface.  I need to travel more! Haha, you wouldn't think so! I bet most places would do it for you even if they don't have it on the menu, just ask them to leave off the tomato sauce and use garlic butter.
