  • Amy’s pizza – healthier. Di Giorno when I slip. Meat pizza and zin = awesome. Ben & Jerry’s Stephen Colbert’s Americone with a barsac or a monbazillac, or a muscat canelli from the North Coast.

    Favorite all time frozen food……….Angy’s Tortolinis, Springfield,Ma.

    Fantastic home made flavor. Just a little bit of Italy in a box.

    There are some damn good frozen foods out there.

    Fun show.

    I watched some of ?Freezer Burn? ? all I have to say is, wine library is officially a cultural phenomenon (if it wasn?t already).

    I don?t quite understand why he doesn?t eat more than a few bites ? what?s the point?

    QOTD: The “Rising Crust” stuff is all really good.

    Good episode. My favorite frozen food was from the 1970s — Stoffer’s Mac & Cheese. Today’s version is not even in the same class.

    Fun episode! Again, something I would never think of pairing. Way to bring the thunder yet again. QOTD1: Probably Wolfgang Pucks pepperoni. QOTD: Ice Cream, of course. Id say motzerella sticks but I dont own a deep fryer. Theyre NEVER the same in the oven.

    Nice mellow guest, very cool show. QOTD: Im sorry, I dont know brand names, but I usually pick one that has minimal toppings, vegetarian, and one that doesnt rise too much creating a big “bready” crust. I guess the kind that remind me more of real italian style pizza. QOTD#2: I dont know if this counts, but frozen berries of any kind are wonderful. Thanks for the show!!
