six-slices-a-day eating plan for McClellan that includes a variety of pizza toppings for maximum nutrition: less pepperoni, more avocado and organic Roma tomatoes.

To really get into it, I'm offering a side bet. You say PizzaBoy is a Jack Daniels fan. If he does in fact win this, I will personally deliver a 1.75L bottle of Gentleman Jack to you two.

I think our man is experiencing a bit of withdrawal. He can't stop himself from eating and tells me that he feels hungry all the time now. He's put back on all the weight he lost during pizza month. Today he begged me to bet him again just so he could go back on the pizza regimen. I figured that when the bet finally ended he'd be tired of pizza for a long time and that he'd lose weight. Turns out that, at least for now, the exact opposite is true. Who knew?

In the 1970s, Joe Perrino worked the dough, making the foundation for pizzas at Home Run Inn, the restaurant owned by his father, Nick. Back then, Home Run Inn made frozen pizzas, too, but they were a sideline. Nick Perrino's passion was his pizzeria.

But the younger Perrino had bigger dreams, and to him the future was in frozen pies. So when he took charge in 1990, Joe Perrino put his plans into action, taking on the multinational giants of the frozen pizza world.

Today, Home Run Inn is the leading frozen pizza brand in the Chicago area. It's no small feat: Although local food brands often have strong followings, they rarely trump national brands in major categories such as frozen pizza.

What was his last meal prior to the procedure?

LOL! Pizza from Barnaby's in Northbrook.

Pizza Boy had to have a minor, scheduled procedure at the hospital today, which required going about 40 hours without eating beforehand. Days ahead, he'd already selected D'Agostino's Pizza in Glenview as his first meal after the procedure since it was right near the hospital. Was I surprised by this type of pre-planning? Not even remotely.

For the record, he ordered a thin sausage and pepperoni pizza.

Seriously?????? If that's real it's frightening.....to say the least. It's like being addicted to breathing.

What are "combos"?

Was this inspired by the Combo Cake on Thisiswhyyourefat.com? It also uses Cheese Whiz as mortar but is a little more structurally elaborate. Here is the picture, from their website:

I don't know whether or not to hope PB's cake was inspired by this one. I'm terrified, fascinated, and slightly in love with the idea that there are independent origin stories for each, that two people could come up with basically the same macabre monstrosity.

Slice of Life: a Quest to Try Pies in the Big Apple - Colin Hagendorf has tasted it all.

Manhattan is home to some of the country's oldest and most celebrated pizzerias, but the great metropolis also holds many mediocre slices. Colin Hagendorf has tasted it all.

Mr. Hagendorf, a 28-year-old Brooklyn resident, may know New York-style pizza more exhaustively than any other living soul. During a 2½-year quest, he has sampled nearly every pie sold by the slice in Manhattan. The feat—involving 362 slice joints—is unmatched by any modern-day enthusiast, according to local pizza experts.
