I think a better solution would be to do an actual boil ourselves with corn, potatoes and sausage, so you have some food to eat while you're working.

Whaaa??? See post #30.

First of all, I've never seen anybody pick crabs and pile up the meat for some kind of a grand finale in ~40 years of eating crabs. Second, they steam them, not boil them, anywhere civilized. Third, yesterday, we had steamed shrimp, corn on the cob, hushpuppies, onion rings, fries, coleslaw AND 5 dozen large crabs for a dozen people. Tons of food. Pick crabs, drink beer, eat sides, sit there ~3 hours, sitting on a deck next to the Chesapeake watching boats go by, walk away stuffed, half-drunk and sunburned. There is nothing wrong with that shit.

Don't get me wrong; it's tasty enough, especially now that we can make it artisanally in special ovens. But it's not cheap anymore so not a great meal.

Yup, could grill up some ribeyes and have a much better meal.

As far as deep dish goes--bunch of pizza snobs who've never been anywhere near NYC affect the NYC attitude towards anything Chicago. And most of them have never actually tasted a proper deep dish pizza, certainly never in Chicago--maybe at some hippie place. Village Pizza in Truckee makes surprisingly good deep dish, considering the location. Now NY style pizza--the rats do seem to like it. And don't argue with me--I am a pizza professional. (Delivered pizza for a month about 50 years ago.)

I'm from Western Washington State, I felt Lobster was over-rated and also very unsatisfying, Cost vs Value... I'd take a plate of Dungee or Lingcod over lobster.

Oh please, I ain't DD. Water is the world's worst lube.

I'll ditto a lot of the seafood comments. I fucking love lobster, crab, salmon, halibut, you name it. But, a lot of that stuff can cost significantly more than prime beef. Unless it's straight off the boat and cheap, I'll pass.

The top cutt was our breakfast a couple weeks ago. The bottom cutt was dinner last fall. (Note the golden Lyall's Larch behind me). Both were caught out of high lakes accessible via off-trail scrambling. No $$ but there's a steep price of admission. Both were quite tasty.

Yeah... this. "Deep dish" from a cheap chain place is fucking nasty... but a place in Fairhaven has a deep dish cornmeal crust that is delicious. It's not thick and bready at all.

Monkfish used to be the poor mans lobster. Fish itself looks like spawn of nuclear waste, but done right it is tasty as hell. Haven't had it from years so don't know if it is still a good value tho. Previously underrated

Nothing about this post is correct. I am not a pizza snob, I like all pizzas (and vehemently disagree with the person who said pizza is overrated). I am from NYC, but I don't have a NYC attitude about Chicago or pizza. And I have been to Chicago and tasted a proper deep dish there (Malnati's IIRC).

None of that changes the fact that when it comes to this style, as I said before, pizza is an adjective, not a noun. It describes the casserole that is served there, a pizza casserole. A casserole that -- when made -- with good ingredients -- can taste quite delicious. But isn't pizza as a noun.
