I had to go for training in Chicago late 90's, the Chicago Pizza was pretty good, thick crust but the crust was very well done. IMHO the crust made the pizza.

I think Chicago is known for deep dish pizza, isn't it? I enjoy thatAs a matter of fact, they are. I went to Chicago and had one of their pizzas once. It was pretty good, but it is definitely not a thin crust, and that does seem to be the trend these days. The place where I had the pizza actually had one of Michael Jordan's old jerseys hanging on the wall. Like I said, I'm a connoisseur of pizzas.

That sounds like something that could be from Oregon too.. There's a pizza chain in my area called Pizza Schmizza that makes some unique pizzas similar to that. Also, I recall an episode of the TV show "Portlandia" that highlighted the way some people like to make sure their food is organic and raised well, with customers wanting to go see the farm where the farm where the chickens are raised for the restaurant they're visiting.

Personally, I miss the PNW style pizza from back in the day like at Pietro's or Sunshine. Fultano's on the coast is my favorite thin PNW style pizza. Then there's Nona Emilia's in Aloha, not PNW style, but a different kind of thick crust I've never found anywhere else..

I guess I was just born and raised here and whatever my first

So am I, and my favorite is San Francisco Style. Or what other folks
tend to call "French Bread Pizza". Have tried gluten-free crusts
before and found them to be far too chewy. Though I DO like Pesto,
Ricotta, and Tempe.

While you are correct about the US states Wisconsin borders, and that
WI doesn't actually border Canada (because of Michigan's waters),
Quebec does not border Lake Superior. Having driven the Circle
Tour I can confirm that, on the Canadian side, Superior is
surrounded by Ontario. ;)

Comment about Quebec was concerning higher popularity of curds there
than elsewhere in Canada. Just a weak ploy at adding confusion
to the issue. LOL.

The last time I went into a Denny's was approx 45 years ago with my first wife. We were eating while she filled out a job app to work there. The manager was sitting at the table with us talking about the job. I was sitting across the table from my wife watching a 1" roach crawl on her.
That was my last trip to Denny's...
