I've been really nostalgic for the old Wicker Park Dog- right at the corner in the Flat Iron Building, gone since 2000ish? A staple of my formative years slumming around WP in the late 90's. I think my craving has something to do with all the talk about good hotdog stand fresh cut, double fried fries around here these days and also the crazy price tag that they come with at certain "chef-run" hotdog/hamburger places. WP Dog had the best, huge-ass, dollar bags of perfect fries that were just the trick for soaking up the late night drink. And the pizza puff combo was $2 I believe for that special occasion. Damn I miss that.

My guess would be that us Catholic girls at Trinity High School in River Forest were eating pizza puffs from the same supplier in the late 90s.

I thought I was the only person who ever at PB&bacon sandwiches. My "guilty pleasure" is a version of this: PB & breakfast sausage on my pancakes for breakfast. On a cold, winter Sunday morning, this brings back childhood memories and hits the spot.

I just love a basic Tombstone cheese pizza. For some reason, all of the elements seem just right to me, to the point that any of the top dine-in thin-crust pizzas around town don't seem significantly better.
Heresy, I know.

Every once in a while I can do a Tombstone, but it's a far cry from their original recipe. A true guilty pleasure for me was going fishing in Wisconsin with my dad in the early 70's and we'd stop at some local tavern where they had the ubiquitous Tombstone toaster-oven on the back bar. Now that pizza was memorable.
