    QOTD 1: Mystic Pizza-I’m pretty sure I have tried every frozen pizza ever created since about 1985. Mystic Pizza is the best-my finicky children also agree.

    QOTD 2: Bubba Burgers-the best on the outdoor grill when weather permits-but indoors just as good on the George Foreman grill.

    Frozen foods…I honestly can say I never eat frozen food. I love the Gewurztraminers and the Zinfandels, though.

    QOTD: 1. I just can’t get into frozen pizzas. the pepperoni’s not right. I live very near Dions’s pizza and that’s my pizza of choice.
    2. Do frozen blueberries count? I also like frozen potstickers, frozen yogurt, and ice cream.
    Why would anyone lick their baseball bat?

    SS Chris, that was f’in hilarious (and the follow from Kdawg)

    Great show! I love the quack over Gary’s Son of a… and I loved that Gary has never seen Multiplicity – really sad.

    QOTD: DiGiorno (sad that this is the best I’ve had)
    QOTD2: Does Ice Cream count? If so, Ben and Jerry’s Half Baked. Otherwise… maybe pizza rolls (greasy as hell though)!

    QOTD1: Probably the DiGiorno combination pizza, but see QOTD2.

    QOTD2: I used to live off of frozen food (pizzas, TV dinners, burritos, etc.) when I was younger, but then I learned how to cook and haven’t looked back. I haven’t had a frozen meal in at least 8-10 years.

    Interesting show!

    I’m not a big frozen food type guy. I love cooking. However, I do believe there is a wine for any type of food.

    QOTD: My favorite frozen food is pizza. I like the President’s Choice brand from Loblaws, especially that thick, meaty, pie-looking one, both spinach and bacon and sausage.

  • Fun, fun show on a Friday night which I rarely succumb to the frozen aisle of the grocery store. I used to try and meet women that way but never worked. Actually, nothing worked. 🙁

    Your guest was also honest which was enlightening. Need to check out his website.

    That being said:

    QOTD #1: California Pizza Kitchen with Wolfgang Puck coming in a close 2nd

    QOTD #2: Bertolli Oven Baked Meals (these are reallllly good for a cold, wintery Friday, like tonight!)

    Cheers!
