Brian,
well written

I often feel that way just at a major show, trying to focus on picking up a few hard to find things, and just getting floored by the asking price..just so far out of bounds..you dont even consider it

Great write-up, Brian. Sounds like it's a (much) larger scale version of what my local show has become. I thought about making the trip since we have a daughter in the area but we decided against it for a lot of reasons.

When I first saw this thread title, I thought you were just looking for the best pizza in Chicago.

HA! I wish, in cruel twist of irony, my favorite food is off the menu as I am now an old man (45) who is lactose intolerant and have a gluten allergy. WHAT HAVE I DONE TO DESERVE THIS FATE!!

I figure stomach issues were at the front door of the Old Man club. I'm on the left side of the bell curve.

Nice review. The shows I attend I see more younger folks with cash and product. The millennials have the cash it seems..

I went to a three-day conference in St. Louis a month ago. Over 2000 people attended. Maybe 2% wore masks.

Less than 10 have reported testing positive for covid.

So that's something.

If you referred to pizza as "pie" in Chicago, nobody would have any idea what you were talking about.

If you tried to sell what passes for pizza in Chicago in NY or LA everyone would think it is a pie.

Thanks, Ronnie. Mario Batali says if you have an ingredient you don't quite like, deep fry the sucker.

Born & raised in NYC, Al; I know my pizza. Entirely too well, according to my wife.

Yeah, LA is the last place on earth I'd expect to find even decent pizza.
It reminds me of an Entourage episode where the main character Vince cringes over "California" pizza with guacamole 🤢 lol
