    Taking him to places he loves might not be the best strategy. Why not go on a search for the worst pizza you can find and make him eat it.

    LOL!

    a) I might have to eat it, too.

    b) What I typically find horrible, he loves (cases in point, Dominos, Gino's, Tombstone, etc.)

    c) I figure my best bet is to take him to places he loves and let him gorge to the point of sickness! :lol:

    These shots are just in from California . . .

    Food Court - Orange County Airport

    Destination targeted


    Image
    Decent selection and that price is for an entire pizza, not just a single slice! I guess the accent mark doesn't add too much to the price :wink:


    Image
    Pepperoni, straight up, as seen on the back seat of the cab


    Image
    Later, dinner, delivered and resting on the hotel bed (love the remote)


    Image
    Looks to be pepperoni and sausage

    I have to say that I'm beyond impressed with the dilgence on the photography. I never expected to have shots of the Orange County Airport Food Court but in reality, that's more than I could expect from many dedicated LTHers. :D

    This set of shots doesn't bode well for me and even though I stand to lose quite a bit of dough if our boy succeeds, it's stuff like this that'll make it almost worth it if he does. :)

    Our boy told me that the other people at his dinner table last night were highly amused by the bet. At the time, they were supping on prime rib and he was drinking glasses of water.

    He also mentioned that he's going to make it a priority to order a fresh pizza for dinner tonight.

    Updates as they come to me.

    Ron -

    I think you should bring him to the GNR dinner at Marie's. We all want to look him in the eyes and see exactly what's possessing him. And learn what he's made of... although now I assume it's only flour, cheese, sausage and Chicago Bear logos. Duh.

    All the adoration and fan-dom might freak him out a bit. And, if necessary, I'll bet some of your LTH friends could give him an ol' one-two so he'll HAVE to drink pizza smoothies for a few days and THAT might cause him to wave the white flag. <knuckles cracking>

    Or, maybe, he can just enjoy some of the better pizza he'll (probably) be eating for the rest of the month and understand that he is quickly approaching Internet meme-hood.

    One other thought... Do you ever question potential business partners about such important things as culinary predilections? There hardly could be anything MORE important, yes?

I don't even need to imagine how magnificent he was feeling in this moment. I know him well enough already. True, there are still 20 days to go but at this point it feels like he's just running out the clock on me. :roll:

    Maybe you're approaching this all wrong. Perhaps given his clear penchant for crappy pizza, a few trips to Spacca Napoli, Great Lake, or the like would do the trick. I don't suppose he's ever waited two hours for a pie, has he?

    Has he proclaimed his love for any favorite non-pizza foods, Ronnie? If so, you might want to consider having them for lunch in his presence every day upon his return.

    Second thought... given that Tombstone pizza is among those he has mentioned, perhaps that will just mean that he's succeeded in suckering you into a miserable eating experience.

    This isn't a bad idea except that I could never even get him to one of these places. What we had to do to punk him at Alinea took an incredible amount of effort and there's not even a sign on the door there. :wink:

    Highly unlikely. Even sending me the updates is a big effort for him, electronically-speaking. I'm guessing that even filling a Twitter message would be a great burden to him.

    If you can get Pizza Boy to eat a Jack's frozen pie spread lovingly with a tube of "Soyrizo" from Trader Joes...I think you might get him to cry "uncle." I tried this combo personally and nearly had to have my stomach pumped!
