OT -- The "Choose One For The Rest Of Your Life" Thread

[Cincydawg]

One thing I like in a food is ease of eating.  Burgers and pizza of course fulfill that desire nicely.  A really good burger of course is ... really good, and the same is true for pizza.  One might consider mediocre to not good items of each, fast food of course is burger centric.  I think I'd rather have a poor pizza than a poor burger.  I used to get Papa John's for the kids fairly often, they were tolerable, Chucky Cheese pizzas were about the worst I ever tried.  Grocery store pizzas are usually OK.

Just thinking about a so so pizza vs so so burger ... maybe I'd go pizza.  

We did a tasting tour in Rome across the river in Trasteverde, if I can spell it right, the foods there were super good.  We also had pizza at some sidewalk place that clearly caters to tourists and it was quite good as well, fed four of us for about $50.

The 2-3 burgers I've tried in Europe were ... weird, to me.

My wife is eating only yogurt for a week because of her dental surgery/treatment, so I made "Mexican spaghetti" two nights ago (chili, to me), I really like it.  I rarely make gumbo.  I should more often, but chili is easier, fewer ingredients, and I like it a lot.  While the base is not Cincinnati style at all, I do have it with raw chopped onions and grated cheddar on top.

foods ease of eating is one thing
how about ease of preparing yourself at home

ease of eating is why I chose Lobster over crab legs
Burgers are easier for me to prepare than pizza

[Cincydawg]

Putting a store pizza in the oven is about as easy as it gets.  Sometimes it causes the oven to get messy.

For some reason, I'm indifferent to lobster but like crab legs a lot.

I rarely eat frozen grocery store pizzas - they are not good - imo

I suppose I could buy ready to use crust.  Throwing on the sauce, ingredients, and cheese is easy

Delivery pizza mostly sucks now too.

For that reason, on occasion we'll toss a "not good" Red Baron in the oven for 1/10th of the cost.

If both suck, choose the cheap one is what I say.

Try Screamin' Sicilian.

They are actually very good.

I've bought Artisan(all natural) Frozen Cheese pizza's,we usually add the toppings,Pretty damn good. But I'd have to go with Burgers - so many ways to make them with different bun/roll/bread types. Always liked Patty Melts with toasted rye, swiss/cheddar cheese,sautéed onions,Cindy likes Thousand Island on hers

 Another one is Cajun Blackened Burger - 80/20 beef patty coated in Creole/Cajun blackened seasoning, Lawry’s Seasoned Salt  and seared in a hot cast-iron skillet, topped with blue cheese, a served on a onion bun(or whatever ya like). Damn that bold, char-crusted patty and a creamy topping, such as blue cheese dressing - slobbering just thinking about it

 The one I have yet to make is the George Motz’s Oklahoma Fried Onion Burger

I love burgers, but it's gonna be pizza for me, and not particularly close.  

[utee94]

Yeah I think I have to go with pizza as well.  I love burgers but I suppose I'd get my beef fix with BBQ, steaks, and the occasional boeuf bourguignon.

The Kroger "fresh" pizzas are "OK", we have them on occasion.  My wife always has Trader Joe's thin pizzas frozen when we just want a light quick dinner.  They are tolerable, to me.  

In grad school I'd make those Chef Boy RD box pizzas.  They were never very good but what did I know?  They were cheap.

Our local pizza place went under a few months back, we didn't go there often, which is why they went under I guess.  We do have Killer Burgers for lunch on occasion, literally.


Grindhouse Killer Burgers

yes, frozen pizzas are tolerable, easy to make and to eat

Lottza Motza is a brand that is pretty good here
I also always add extra toppings and cheese from my fridge or cupboard to zest 'em up a little

the take & bake (not frozen) are even better

not enuff for me to pick pizza over burgers
