I didn't realize they had them out of the Boston area. Kind of like the Chicago pizza franchises. Uno's is good anywhere in Chicago but the ones in Florida, Boston and California were bad.

 

I think that's probably a good comparison. Uno's and Giordano's both down here just don't get it right. Wrong sausage mostly, but wrong sauce and spices as well.

 

Man do I miss Chicago pizza!

I've eaten at two Legals and one was excellent (the one across from New England Aquarium) and the other very forgettable (is south Florida). The family that started Legal was instrumental in the modernization of the way commercial seafood is handled and processed in the US though, so yeah, they have quite a good industry reputation for quality control.

Legal in White Plains NY is fantastic.

Going to our house on the ocean in Gulf Shores, Alabama. Should be fun to swim in the oil!

 

Say high when you blow through Birmingham and Pelham.

Miami in October for a certain mods wedding. After that,Orlando to check out Disneyworld for a couple days.

 

Anyone have any recommendations for both Miami & Orlando?

 

Disney World, leaving the 4th of July. I know the kids will love it.

 

Toll roads into Orlando. Disney World is actually 25 miles west of the city. Orlando itself is a dump.

Yep, the sausage is always wrong. There is a plakce by me that makes a decent pie, NY style, but still pretty good.

You'd think they would just have a universal recipe. Uno's in Florida is awful. It's really a shame.

Even if they have a universal recipe, think about the supply chain. If you want to do things right, you need things like tomatoes, dough, cheese, sausage. You may have a local supplier in Chicago that you use all the time, but then what does your shop in Florida do? You can ship stuff from Chicago, but you're stuck canning or freezing stuff to do that, or you can find local suppliers for fresh stuff but they're never going to be the same.

If you're a restaurant buying your supplies there you deserve to go out of business.

More than a few use Sam's Club. If you price items at Sysco, Ben E. Keith, et al you will find Walmart and most larger grocers sell for less. Depending on scale, it isn't such a bad alternative. Not every restaurant has the need or menu prices to shop at the (only sometimes) local wholesale markets.
