Food/restaurant rant

I feel like a knife and fork with pizza is acceptable when wearing a suit.

 

You shouldn't eat pizza with a fork. It is, however, acceptable to have a fork on hand to pick up pieces of topping and cheese that fall off a slice onto your plate.

 

Plate?

 

I was born in Brooklyn (long before it was hipster heaven). You pick up a slice of pizza and fold it to eat it.

 

I eat pancakes with my hands, but rarely pizza.

 

Never understood the folding part, as you're basically putting the cheese and sauce farther away to bit through the crust from every angle.

 

Ditto. For the 15 seconds that it might be too hot, blow on the end and by the time you finish the first bite, the rest of the folded slice will have cooled down enough to eat.

 

Plates are necessary because our local pizzeria's otherwise very good pizzas have awkwardly sized slices which are too narrow for satisfactory folding.

 

I grew up in New Jersey and do the folding thing. It's habit. I even do it with tiny slices from personal and frozen pizzas. My wife thought it was bizarre until we went up there to visit family and got some of the long New York style slices and she had to fold it to eat it.

 

Just less awkward to hold with one hand. Folded, you can put it between your thumb and forefinger and not get any sauce on your fingers.

 

Guilty of all three. If it's too hot I use a fork (I don't like the feeling of nerve pain from my hands) and I only eat white bread, not cardboard multigrain bread my significant other swears by.

You can take your ban of putting ketchup on a hotdog and shove it along with all Chicagoans who think the same. If I have to eat salty meat, you're damn right it tastes better with something sweet on it as opposed to "Chicago way" of adding yet more salt, salty mustard and peppers.

 

I think we can all agree that SJ.commers are experts at shoving unhealthy food into our mouths.
