Damn you and your reasoning, forcing me to actually read the article and understand his perspective. Yeah he seems to be talking more about boutique places than Sallys, Pepes, and your lot. And for that part I don’t disagree with him. Some places are fucking wild with prices, toppings, and quality all in the name of the Naples Staple.

I would call milford safe , west haven relatively safe , amity relatively safe , the Yale section of downtown safe. Just because nothing happened to you there doesn’t make it safe by comparison to other places

If downtown isn't safe I'd love to hear your impression of where it IS safe? Someplace where crime is somehow impossible? Down town is as safe as any place, once you leave your house.

>You just called down town good 😂😂😂😂 you definitely aren’t from the city

Dude, if downtown is safe enough for sheltered Yale freshmen, it's safe. Most of downtown is bougie as fuck.

Yes, the researchers will inform you if there is an incidental or unexpected finding that a doctor would be concerned about.

Can totally understand and identify with this perspective. A phone call could provide one with the available data about the safety risks. Again, this is an IRB-approved study. :)

Food is a subjective experience. So if you enjoy air bubbles in your pizza, there's certainly nothing wrong with that. Savor your food and don't worry about what other people say. However, they detract from my enjoyment of pizza. Let me explain why.

From my perspective, air bubbles negatively impact the pizza in two ways. The first is that the air bubble stretches out the dough. This stretched dough is much thinner than other parts of the pizza. Especially if you are cooking in a very hot oven as is the custom in New Haven-style pizza, this causes the area to cook faster and dry out before the rest is ready. In fact, these spots will be crunchy when the pizza is done.

The second drawback to bubbles is that they create a slope. When the cheese and sauce heat up, they will flow down off the bubble. So, on the bubbly spots there is no cheese and very little sauce. Since the dough is also dried out in that spot, it's like having a lightly tomato-flavored, crunchy, pita chip in the middle of your slice. There's nothing wrong with pita chips, but it's not the experience I am looking for when I have pizza.

As far as what makes a high-quality charred pizza, the key is finding the happy medium. There is a difference between burned and charred. The black char should be a dusting or a light coating on the outer layer. The analogy that comes to mind is grilling meat. You can make a juicy steak if you grill it on very low heat for a long time, but it won't be very flavorful. Those black stripes from the heat of the grill give the meat a different flavor and texture. However, that doesn't mean that a darker steak is better. There is a point at which you are drying out the meat and burning it.

The ideal for me is a light dusting of black char, with the crust still chewy and moist. If the crust on a pizza is dry and brittle, then it is overcooked.

In my experience, yes they will let you know if there is something seriously wrong that they can see, but that might not be guaranteed

Though I have this irrational fear of brain tumors just lingering in my head. Insurance doesn't cover expensive brain scans for irrational fears. So I'd totally do this study. In case there's something fucked up, I'd hope they'd let me know - though not sure if they're allowed.
