We think that deep dish pizza started here. I am really not sure. I always heard it began at Uno’s downtown Chicago.

Hey Fitz,
It probably did start there as I have heard it referred to as Chicago style pizza, either way sounds good to me.

Now about the 'dogs …also sounds good.

BTW, are you a Cubs fan?

You mentioned another thing I am grateful about my country. I love baseball. I am a proud White Sox Fan. I lived in the southern part of the city, and now the southwest suburbs. Mostly the Cubs fans are north siders, however my family is divided. At family parties we can’t talk about politics, football (we’re divided between Purdue and ND), and baseball (Sox vs. Cubs).
 
We celebrate the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, and we try to live up to his expectations for our great country.
