I truly had an argument with a guy who was talking to me about Japanese Scotch. Like seriously though whiskey sure but Scotch is Scotch for a fucking reason

Reminds me of a family story involving two cousins. Older brother was teaching English in Japan and married a Japanese woman. Which was where the wedding was held. His younger brother and fiance flew over for the wedding. Fiance was from Vancouver came from great wealth and was one of those rich kids who saw money as immunity from discovering the world. So at an restaurant, the fiance loudly proclaimed that Vancouver sushi was the only legitimate sushi. In Japan. Just classic ugly American (well, Canadian) kind of statement, both ignorant and arrogant. (Younger cousin married fiance, marriage went south, and he was utterly gouged in the settlement to be rid of her. Upside is that, as far as I know, he's much happier with new wife and newer child.)

Wow that's just insane.
That reminds me of how almost every mid-size American city thinks they have a special style of pizza.

Credit where credit is due: St. Louis' cheese slice and ketchup on a cracker is very special.

Detroit style is a thing now I guess. I had it from a reputable local source and thought it tasted like Pizza Hut, but a little better. I guess it is a distinct style I guess, but pretty blah.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

I think the Pizza Hut comparison is a little harsh but I can see where this person is coming from. Maybe they had a shitty version of it. This stuff hit New York while I was living there and I had it a few times happily. I like the way the cheese gets slightly burned at the crust point although the pepperoni was a little too heavy for my taste (I do love pepperoni cups just not this much meat.

Just had a few beers at Zero Gravity today. They had a 12% imperial stout. It tasted like a boilermaker made with a stout and shot of whiskey.
The IPA I just displayed is from a new brewery down the road from me, and they have a GREAT looking stout and coffee porter on draft. Didn't get them because they were a bit pricier but between those and the really nice ESB I had earlier it seems like a really well-balanced menu. You gotta come out to CO, man.
