“Crust from Dinamo, barbecue-sauce base from Alamo, pimento cheese from Pasture, fried green tomatoes from Comfort, fried green peppers and onions from Croaker’s Spot ... sausage from Metzger, and ... a little KimKim sauce”

“You can’t go to a Flying Squirrels game without ballpark snacks! This pizza would have nacho cheese and there’d be thin slices of stadium hotdogs. Crackerjack crumbles optional.”
