Pizza Place for sale soon. Probably at a cheap price.

That or there’s some friction between the mortgage note and insurance papers...

Spontaneous combustion?  The poster said there was a pound of cheese on it ostensibly to cover up the carcinogenic smell of the crust.  I LOL’d.

Take a look at their FB page this morning.  The two most recent comments were a photo of the bottom of a Colt 45 pizza.  Burnt to a crisp and the guy didn’t want to return it because the owner was such a jackass.  Second comment was from someone who said it didn’t stack up to the original.  Just as predicted, people expect something to resemble a taste or texture memory from 30+ years ago. 

Danger, Will Robinson! Danger!


There was a little hole-in-the-wall Mexican place on 21st, west of Memorial in the late 60's with the best burrito in the history of the planet!!  I would remember that instantly if ever found it again - even after 40+ years!

Another one from the mid 80's - Chinese food on 31st east of Garnett.  I can't remember name - I think it was something like 'Saipan'.... best wings ever - and I will always remember that sauce!!

Ichi-ban on 41st barely west of Memorial has the most memorable (best to me) teri-yaki sauce that I have run across.  Seldom get to go there any more due to scheduling conflicts, but if get near, I always stop in.

I don’t share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently.  I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

The peanut dressing on the salad is also pretty memorable.   My father managed to make a decent copy using peanut butter.

And you haven't posted it because...Huh


Got a lead on the teri-yaki sauce?   I have tried to duplicated it and have made some very good sauces in the process, but not THAT one....  the quest continues!

There are so many variations on Teriyaki.

A good base recipe will have a base of soy sauce, some sort of sweetener like brown sugar or molasses, honey, garlic, ginger, either a rice wine, rice wine vinegar, mirin, or miso.

Some wild cards that could be used to enhance it could be pineapple juice or tamarind.

Play with it and have fun.

Tamarind (paste) seems to be good...have only used it once or twice, but liked the results....

Yeah, there is an infinite variety - and a LOT of really good ones out there that I like really well...I have 3 versions that I enjoy quite a bit...the molasses and touch of honey is a part of all 3.  Still love the Ichi-ban version... what I am afraid of is that it would turn out to be corn syrup, a little molasses, some soy and that's about it....it tastes like it should be more complex than that, but have been surprised before.


Who woulda thought equal parts prepared yellow mustard and grape jelly would be as good as it is...??  (For little smokey's)
Or just a simple mix of equal parts ketchup and mustard for sloppy joes...?

You can make a really tasty and simple sweet and sour sauce with a ketchup base. Vastly better than the rubbery red sauce they serve in the Chinese slop houses.

Since we are completely off-topic...

I make a glaze for chicken that is half orange marmalade and half Russian dressing.

It inspires song.

And how, pray tell, is this anywhere off topic??  Have you not heard of grilled teri-yaki chicken pizza??   I plan to recommend it to Shotgun Sam's when I go try it....


That sounds yummy, by the way....

From the sounds of it, you better hurry if you want to try it.

Based upon the in-depth reports of stellar food critics who hang around here and have posted their first hand reviews I gave Shotgun's a try and well, it was full at lunch today, even had some sitting outside at the picnic tables which was nice on a rainy day. 

Overall, I liked it but it’s not a 100% match my memory but I’d go a B+ to start with room to improve.

Tomato sauce, thin and a bit sweet - check

Crust, a bit thicker (seemed to have raised more than I remembered) but still tender and good, couldn’t see if they were using an oven or one of those chain drives but the lack of corn starch makes me think chain but it was properly browned and cooked through.

Toppings – I had Canadian bacon (held the garlic, had a meeting) and it was sliced thin and plenty of it just as I remember (check).

Service - Was very quick and while not of the ‘hey we’re happy to see you, come on in type engaging’ all were polite and busy (note:  there were sufficient tats to make Blake feel right at home).

House - EVERYTHING I saw was clean and being an old grill hand (Country Fair, Argentina Steak House, Steak and Ale, etc.) I look!   Tables were immediately and properly wiped down (not just swept onto the floor) whenever a table finished.

Hadn't been there in a while and it was good to see new life at London Square.  I grew up folding the Tulsa world while sitting under the stairs out front once upon a hundred years ago.

Definitely worth another visit after little more break-in time but it will need perfection in order to knock Mario’s off my lunch list route.

With all the negative posts on the Facebook page. I'm not sure how he is able to keep the local media in his hip pocket but somehow he does.
