The Detroit Double Pepperoni is the best thing Pizza Hut has made in years

Detroit-style pizza was once locked down to the state of Michigan, but recently, thanks to chains like Jet’s, it’s slowly been trending its way around the United States. The original version was developed in 1946 at a restaurant called Buddy’s Rendezvous (now known as Buddy’s Pizza). Like so many American pizzas, it was inspired by an older version: it’s an offshoot of the puffy, bready Sicilian-style (think focaccia). It’s always baked in blue steel pans, and its one big defining characteristic is the crust.

The crusts of Detroit-style pizzas aren’t the bare pizza bones a lot of people throw away. Rather, they’re composed of the same cheese that tops the pizza. When the pizza is baked, the cheese around the edges caramelizes to a dark brown crunchy lace. If you’ve never had it before, it’s easy to assume that someone just burned it, but the edges are always the best part of a Detroit square.

(If it sounds like I’m a massive pizza geek, I have a perfectly legit reason: I’m a former full-time pizza maker, and one of the specialties of the place I worked at—and still moonlight at occasionally—is Detroit-style pizza.)

On January 26, Pizza Hut unveiled its very own version of Detroit-style pizza. This foray came as a surprise to me, since it’s been a very long time since Pizza Hut has offered a new style. Pizza Hut was my family’s go-to when I was a kid (remember Pizza Hut’s Book-It program?), but over the years, I felt like it fell off in quality, big time, so it quietly fell out of my rotation.

BTW you can’t avoid this stuff anywhere from work to the grocery store.

People are pigs LOL

There is a sign at a local hot dog shop that declares “management says we can no longer accept money from your undergarments”

The Tax Office here in Natchez, MS has the same sign.

My Wife was flabbergasted when we went there to pay our Car Registration and asked the Clerk if that was really a problem. She replied it’s worse than you can imagine.

Yep, there’s a Leprino factory right here in town. When it opened, a lot of people left Home Depot to go work there.
