First time I ever tried what is called a "southwest" pizza here, I was surprised. It had BBQ beef on it, and a smoky sauce. It was good. I'd not thought of smoked, pulled pork. I'm thinking that Italians in de ole country would roll over in their graves. But, since they already did that once when folks in Chicago started adding fixings upside down, this time would just bring those old timers right back up.
Johno, in the late 50's, I met George Stevens in Chicago. He's the father of Weber grill. Dad's store was the first wholesaler of them in Michigan.
