Tip: mix a batch of pizza dough, which makes about four or five pizzas per batch, then divide and roll balls and freeze in oiled ziplock bags. They keep for at least three months. The night before you want pizza, thaw the dough and you are all set. Just toss whatever you want on some slathered Trader Joe's sauce (shortcut!), and sprinkle with whatever cheese. It's sooooooo much better than frozen store dough it is sick.
You lost me at "mix a batch of pizza dough," and by the part where I'd have to plan a day ahead about what I was going to have for dinner I was already resigning myself to a box of soup and a bagel. I mean, I'm no lex pretend. I can cook. There are containers of homemade chicken stock in the freezer right now. But it would be a rare work night that I would relish the idea of wrestling with pizza dough and prepping toppings. Shit, if i could just take a foodpill and be done with it, I would in a minute.

if you're buying tj's sauce, you might as well buy their premade dough too, it's like $2 and really good

My daughter uses TJ's pizza sauce for pasta, so we always have it on hand.

The most egregious thing in it is abbreviating Extra Virgin Olive Oil as EVOO
i hate seeing this on menus so much, it always takes me a minute to remember what it stands for and then i spend another minute thinking about how dumb it is

I'm feeling defensive now so I will just say that I make an effort to cook at least one wholesome, old fashioned home cooked meal every week, sometimes two, and sometimes one of those is soup or a roast chicken or other thing that provides easy leftovers during the week. But most weeknights - foodpill OTM.

the "you" in my comment wasn't you you, it was the person being addressed in the tip you quoted. like why would someone buy jarred sauce from TJs as a shortcut but then make homemade dough? just a weird idea.
― congratulations (n/a), Monday, 19 November 2012 20:43 (eleven years ago) link
anyone who actually prints EVOO on a menu needs to be shot

my scheme is kind of like a foodpill only instead of a pill substitute "chipotle"

i've seen it way too many times and i don't know why, how often does olive oil even need to be pointed out on a menu anyway

extra virgin olive oil is expensive = this dish is expensive, here's why

Unnecessarily complicate making pizza at home with this one weird trick!
― super perv powder (Phil D.), Monday, 19 November 2012 20:58 (eleven years ago) link
extra virgin olive oil is not expensive. filet mignon? expensive. oysters or lobsters that are fresh but in a landlocked state? expensive. truffle oil? somewhat expensive. giant drum of olive oil? nah.
― mh, Monday, 19 November 2012 21:00 (eleven years ago) link
The really weird thing about EVOO is that it makes it sound like some kind of gross chemical product.
― wk, Monday, 19 November 2012 21:01 (eleven years ago) link
It feels like an attempt at some kind of food snobbery but comes across more like industrial jargon.

maybe it is industrial jargon?

xposting homemade pizza dough is sooooooo much better than store dough. But homemade pizza sauce ... meh. Not worth the effort for the slight results.

i disagree, i made my own dough for a couple of years and the TJs dough is just as good if not better then what i made. maybe i just suck though.

The sin of his restaurant seems to be making food that lacks the love the spots he celebrates cooks into its food, from scratch, every day.
a man whose brand was built on his unreserved praise for food and people deserving of that praise, and who in entering the arena himself revealed a hollowness that threatens to undermine everything he’s done

that's a great blog post imo. i don't have quite as much love for triple-d as that guy does but he captures what's great about the show when it's at its best.
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 20 November 2012 03:15 (eleven years ago) link
i think the next step of that critique is the difference between guy as a sort of contemporary food anthropologist who's had 20 different versions of red-eye gravy and can tell you why this most recent one is great, and guy as a "chef" (to the extent that he even is one) with a demonstrable lack of taste when it comes to what his own kitchens produce.
