When you visit Chicago and order pizza, you probably expect to get a deep-dish pie, right? You’re actually most likely to get a tavern-style pie — deep dish’s thinner, older cousin, is actually what many Chicagoans consider the city’s true pizza. wapo.st/3PgtF7X

Oh and @AmyCavanaugh unpacked the VERY hot topic of what is Chicago pizza? washingtonpost.com/travel/2023/08…

@paulaforbes @aribendersky @punch_drink That’s amazing! So funny.

@AmyCavanaugh @aribendersky @punch_drink Amy I used to babysit for a kid whose parents met at the caribou and they had like artsy photos of the bar all over their house lol

I love clicking on a story I'm interested in reading and see a familiar name in the byline. Great piece @AmyCavanaugh in @punch_drink! punchdrink.com/articles/carib…
