Moving to Paris

bacon, france, moving

So when John and I started this blog, we thought it would be sort of cool to put up food stories and perspectives from different towns in Michigan and North Carolina.

Well, I’m moving. To Paris. It’s only temporary (6 months), but it’s still going to be awesome and I’m going to eat a lot of butter.

"France is Bacon"...in Todd's stomach

You can follow all my wacky antics here on epicportions.com and those of my fiance on her new blog – The Hungry Butterfly. I’m going to eat. She is going to cook.

In fact, she is going to cook very, very well since she is now a student at Le Cordon Bleu Paris, the most famous cooking school in the world, and the alma mater of Julia Child, Mario Batali, and my nerdy grillin’ hero, Steve Raichlen. She’s getting a culinary diploma – 9 hours a day, 6 days a week. I will be standing outside with a fork, knife, bib, and camera. So Stay Tuned!

Godfather’s pizza hates your children

Godfather’s pizza, Herman Cain, politics

So now that Herman Cain (the former president and CEO of Godfather’s Pizza) is likely running for U.S. President, it seems fitting to examine his company’s family values. I’m not sure if this is even from his era – but whatever. He’s running as a republican.

Hello Faz – Pizza Deal of the Century

ann arbor, hello faz, pizza

Hello Faz Pizza has a dear place in my heart because I grew up around Faz and his family. Faz was an incredible guy but I will come back to that at a later date. When it comes time to order pizza in Ann Arbor, 99% of the time I’m probably going to recommend that we call them up. Yesterday was one of these times.

The reason I write this is not to tell you how much I love Hello Faz Pizza. It’s to give you a heads up on probably the best pizza deal in the entire world. Forget about five dollar Hot and Sweatys, Dominos’ three for five dollar special or any other pizza coupon you’ve seen. Hello Faz Pizza took all of those deals and gave them the middle finger.

Hello Faz will give you a large pizza with unlimited toppings for just nine bucks. That means you can order a large pizza and click every single topping they offer, and you still only have to pay nine bucks for it. That is incredible.

Shaya and I tried this out last night to mixed results. My half contained feta, spinach, chicken, steak, bacon, and garlic. Her half contained sausage, bacon, tomatoes, and broccoli. As you can see, I got the better end of the deal and she wasn’t too happy about the amount of toppings on her half. Special price to anyone who can find an actual piece of broccoli.

Regardless of the Shaya broccoli debacle, you really can’t argue with a large pizza and ten toppings(or 7 1/2) for only nine bucks. That’s a solid deal. When you throw in that the pizza is absolutely delicious as well, that’s.. Well, it’s just a solid deal again.
