Not so great with pizza tho. Deep dish? Nope.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:57pm
Alex of Chicago:

Chicago has a pretty great thin crust, actually. You see it outside the loop, especially on the south side. Cheese on top, cut in squares, and sometimes a crispier crust.

it turns out there was an adoption somewhere up the line, so Davies is the adopted name of some great-great-great grandparent. An uncle did some genealogical research a while back and made that discovery.

As long as this band is named “Midtown Sizzler” I’m going to say: Some band needs to name themselves, “Beefsteak Charlies.”
Avatar The Evan "Funk" Davies Show Marathon 2024 Swag For Life Member 10:32pm
Kat in Chicago:

I think that is the album name but it would kinda rule as a band name
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:32pm

no, no, no, the band is Stag! The ALBUM is Midtown Sizzler!
