The closest to that here, is Pizza Hut in Barstow CA, though I've only ever ordered Pizza and soda from there, though they do have a salad bar and lots of seating, most of which I can't sit at. :(

I think I know the feeling. I am not so little around the belly button myself.

Are Pizza Hut serving pizza?
Once I ate something that looked like a pizza at Pizza Hut.
Turned out to be heated bread with some toppings and the dough wasn't baked and fermented enough. Burp:(

I am not so little around the belly button myself.

I have a tiny belly button, it's the package it comes in!

The Hut is what I consider the minimum standard for edible pizza. Good pizza will be better.

Come to think of it, if I go to a salad bar, I will have quite a bit of shredded carrot -- gotta have something in there besides lettuce and maybe spinach leaves. I'll also put in some very tiny bits of broccoli and cauliflower, and a good dose of green onion, or less other onion. (But I also have lots of egg, cheese, ham, bacon, etc., and lots of dressing -- lately I tend toward a mix of ranch and honey mustard.)

I do miss the Soupersalad restaurant. 75 feet of cold salad buffet. Everything one could want on a salad plate. I have made many a monster salads. Then the smaller soup and potato buffet. Your choice of regular or sweet potato wrapped in foil. Six different soups that changed depending on what day it was. Cornbread, gingerbread and blueberry muffin. I'll skip the pizza and soft bread sticks. I just wish it did not go out of business at that location.

Sounds very much like http://www.souplantation.com/ Perhaps they were bought out or changed names?

No such luck, Bing says they are still around, probably a franchise went out of business.

The Hut is what I consider the minimum standard for edible pizza. Good pizza will be better.

Unfortunately I no longer consider any Pizza from the big chains as an edible item. All of them just seem to be oil and grease, massive amounts of tough flat-bread that isn't cooked piled with an extra salty imitation tomato paste and you need a microscope to find any toppings.

Give me any Italian Ristorante pizza over that frozen microwave crap any day!
This is pizza:

Topped with cheese, pepperoni, Italian sausage, onion, bell pepper, mushroom and black olive. Notice how the toppings cover the surface. Notice how the edge has bubbled and formed with scorch marks from a pizza oven. This can't happen if they get the pizza to your house in under 30 minutes, because it takes too long in a real oven to have any time left to deliver it that fast!

Except for the burn marks, the frozen pizza I've bought at Stater Bros Market looked like that, but if I buy the store brand again, I'd better buy a bottle of Pepto Bismol to go with it, cause of the high salt content, DiGiorno Rising Crust Supreme Pizza is very good and does not need any Peptol, but then I'm not so picky with the foods I could eat. About the only food I won't eat is liver, pineapple and citrus in general, liver tastes bad(but won't hurt Me) and citrus gives Me acid indigestion. I do have an open mind and will at least try something, as long as it's not known to be harmful that is.


The reason I don't have burn marks is cause I bake pizzas on a cookie sheet.

Any thing that tastes as bad as bell peppers
can't possibly be considered food!

Funny that you mention that. I can't stand the taste
of a bell pepper if I eat a bell pepper (raw or
cooked). But I love the flavor they add to whatever
they touch.

Does that make sense?

I grew green bell peppers in the Garden I'd cleared in the backyard(I'd grown beefsteak tomatoes too, with corn & yellow crookneck squash), Mom would hollow them out and stuff them with what amounted to meatloaf, tasted fine to Me, I also like them on pizza, I at first didn't like black olives, but I got used to them, I think some veggies are an acquired taste, I was fed veggies when I was a child, I knew I liked meat a bit better, that could be the Neandertal genes at work there or maybe not, the jury is still out on the Neandertal genes, not whether some have people have them or not, but as to what they do, if anything that is.

HA! I did the DNA test with 23andme.com and was told that I have a
higher percentage of neanderthal DNA than the average person. Higher
that average, in case you're wondering, is 3%.

Some of the Kentucky Fried Chicken locations serve liver here.

Btw, I don't like the caricature of Col. Sanders they're doing in the new commercials.

Really?
Chicken liver is very nice.
And our dog Tosca loves it:)

One of my grandfathers brother had to eat raw liver because he had too low B12 vitamine. That doesn't sound so good.

Still the foil and the Sweet Potato or Yam themselves are accurate.

Vic, I vehemently disagree. I would NEVER wrap foil around a sweet potato or a regular potato because that ruins the flavor and texture. It is an old-wives-tale (probably started and perpetuated by The Reynold's Company!!!) that you need to wrap potatoes of any sort in foil. If you want a really good baked Russet potato all you have to do is wash it, pierce it with a fork a couple of times, rub it with vegetable oil, salt it liberally, throw it on a baking sheet and bake it until it is tender through - not wrapped in foil!!!

Oh... I suppose if I were camping I might stick a foil wrapped potato into a campfire, but that is the only context I can imagine in which foil around a potato of ANY sort would be justified.

A yam, by the way, is a starchy root native to the African continent. I know that in North America we sometimes call sweet potatoes "yams", but what we eat here are really sweet potatoes.

I was always taught that you wrap potatoes in foil if they are like new potatoes and have a thin eatable skin. The foil will keep the skin from drying out and you can eat the potatoes skin and all. If the potato has a thick dry skin on it, bake it without the foil.

From what I've read most people have an amount that is between 1% and 4%, I looked up the site 23andme.com, $99.00 for a saliva based test, they even have a wiki entry, interesting. Maybe one day I'll do the test, but not today, I just don't have the extra cash right now.

Only a month ago I was DNA tested by the police charged of vandalism:)
I think I will call the police to send the sample to 23andme.com or perhaps Svante so I can check where I come from.
