Gents,
Great show! I’m a Rockford native who is doing similar type of show on Budapest, Hungary called Budacast.
I, too, have gripes with fast food chains when there’s so much great local food to eat. At least yours went down the tubes.
Stay tuned!

There are no Pizza Hut restaurants here in central California. And really, I don’t think anyone in the entire state truly knows how to make a pizza. Yeah, there’s definitely times when a pie from the Hut wouldn’t be so bad, if for no other reason than it’d almost be a taste of home.
Anyway, great show, guys.

Another enjoyable show. I heard that the shuttered Pizza Hut might become a Walgreen’s soon.
