Pizza is one of the most universally beloved foods. It’s a go-to for gatherings because, unlike other foods, it has been known for decades, centuries even, to be a people pleaser. “Who hates pizza?” is a question usually answered with a resounding “no one.” But now that question has a surprising new answer in Academy Award winner Daniel Kaluuya. Kaluuya did not necessarily say that he hates pizza, but one might assume that his reaction to being offered pizza would be a cruel but polite, “nope”.
The actor, who is the star of writer/director Jordan Peele’s highly anticipated horror-comedy hybrid Nope, appeared as a guest on Hot Ones and with lots of very hot spices in his mouth, revealed his spicy take on pizza. About 16 minutes into the episode and after taking a big drink of water, Hot Ones host Sean Evans asks a very vulnerable Kaluuya for his take on Chicago-style deep dish pizza.
“Pizza’s just like… pizza’s an open sandwich. If you really look at it, it’s like, cheese.” Kaluuya said. “My tongue is going nuts,” he says, still providing no specific answer to the question about deep dish style. “It’s like cheese. They just grill the cheese, put some bread on it, cook the bread,” he said. “It’s an open sandwich.”
Kaluuya says the reason he feels this way is because he had a friend who worked at Pizza Hut. His friend used to work Friday nights so Kaluuya would meet him at Pizza Hut at the end of his shift so they could go out together. In these moments, Kaluuya saw the inner workings of the Pizza Hut. “Then I was just like, I’m not convinced on pizzas,” he said. “It’s overrated.”
Daniel Kaluuya is not wrong. Pizza is, in the end, simply bread with cheese on it and, ultimately, an open sandwich. But it is still delicious, even if it is from Dominos or DiGiorno. Maybe Kaluuya has only had Pizza Hut?
Nope, whose plot has been kept under wraps, hits theaters on July 22.
And Chateaubriand is just a slab of red meat.
Champagne is just grape juice.
Don't you people understand how this works yet?
Hollywood puts out a new film. One of the actors gives an interview saying something "controversial". Everyone talks about the "controversial" comment. Hollywood creates "buzz" for the movie.
You fell for it.
Why should I care what this D-Bag thinks ?
So is Hollywood..
Anchovies. Yay or Nay? I love them.
Char-su is Chinese BBQ pork, in this case, it resembles pulled pork with a really sweet sauce. Bao means “bun” specifically a steamed bun. So pulled pork in steamed bread.
They take the dough and place a dollop of pulled pork in it. Then steam the bread so that as it rises the juices of the BBQ become infused in the bread. Holy cow is it good if it is done right!
If the Chinese have any right to call themselves a great civilization it is because nobody, anywhere does better roast and BBQ’d pork than the Chinese. There are others as good, nobody is better!
That sounds great!
Not me. Although I also like Canadian bacon with mine.
I’ve been making breakfast buns for my family with various leftover meats and cheese in them their entire lives.
It’s especially good when it’s fresh pineapple and not canned.
Pizza was invented for and/or by American GIs during WWII.
If the crust is thin enough, like NY pizza slices, you can fold it in 1/2 and it won’t be open anymore.
Came here to say the same thing. Lazy journalists think morons with a social media are newsworthy. Never heard of this guy either.
Well, I have a “hot take” on dickhead Daniel Kohoutek (or whatever): “who cares”.
Yea, sometimes...
Also, clams on occasion.
I remember when I first saw, and ate, a pizza. Thought it was the ugliest food item I’d ever seen. But after the first byte I became a pizza lover.
Pizza and ice cream. Nobody doesn’t like those.
Maybe. Who cares? I often fold it into a sammich. Or maybe it's an Italian soft taco with a point on the end.
You can't solve the world's problems on an empty stomach.
Well, were waiting...
I’ve watched a bunch of pizza guys on youtube.
I like to watch the guy on “Mile Zero Kitchen”.
My dough fails every time. But it’s ok, carbs are bad for me. :)
