If you're referring here to "Pizzeria Uno", the Chicago-based restaurant
that's now a national chain, there *is* a "Pizzeria Due", one block from the
original in downtown Chicago. Both are still successful.

Actually, "Absorbine" (note, no "Jr." or "Sr.") was developed as a linament for
horses. Successful, too.
"Jr." came later when it was discovered that the stuff worked well on human
beans too.

They were opened by the same guy. Due is only a block or so from Uno, I'm
pretty sure you can see them from each other. Uno's is EXTREMELY small
and claustrophobic inside. Due's has the exact same stuff on the menu,
the difference is that the restaurant is larger.

I recent had some excellent Tombstone® Mexican Style Pizzas. There was a
Cheese Quesadilla and an especially good "Nacho Grande." (corn tortilla
crust, Monterrey jack and sharp cheddar cheeses, medium salsa, taco
seasoned sausage, green onions and black olives, tomatoes.)

Well, it is if we are talking about whether an alleged "Mexican pizza" is
"Mexican" and "pizza." Now regarding the Toxic Bell[1] "Mexican pizza," if
it was born in Mexico, I think it can regard itself as legitimately
Mexican. If it was born in Texas between 1821 and 1836 or in the southwest
US between 1821 and about 1846 (1848? when was the Treat of Monterey or
whatever signed. oh, nevermind. I don't really care.), then it would also
be Mexican by birth, since those area were Mexico at that time. Also, if
it was[2] born of Mexican pizza parents, then it could legitimately be
considered Mexican. Furthermore, if it can do the Macarena, it might very
well be a Mexican pizza. If it was seen illegally entering the US from
Mexico, it is almost certainly not an American pizza, unless it had just
gone down to Mexico for the weekend and lost its ID, or if it is covered
with marijuana or heroin[3].
As to the pizzaness of the alleged pizza, we have discussed extensive in
AUE recently what constitutes a pizza, sandwich, sauce, etc. The" pizzas"
in question, IIRC, use a tortilla, rather than a normal crust. This under
Richard Fontana's definition is not a bread, I believe, or if it is a
bread, it is only a bread in a technical sense. We have also concluded, I
think, that a taco (which IMO is what a Mexican pizza is, though a
Tombstone® Mexican style pizza is not a taco IMO, in spite of its "Corn
Tortilla Crust"[4] but a genuine pizza) and a pizza are not sandwiches and
I think all who weighed in on the issue in AUE agreed with this.
Though I myself still insist that a Red Baron® Enrobed Sandwich® is a
sandwich, whether it's pizza flavored or not and if it is pizza flavored,
it is a pizza. (Surely they wouldn't call it an Enrobed Sandwich® were it
not a sandwich would they?) And likewise, I have the same opinions bout Hot
Pockets®, which are a similar product.
Now, where I used to live, there was a KFC nearby, which later became a
combination Taco Bell/KFC and a few miles away there was a combination
Pizza Hut/KFC/Taco Bell[5]. If the alleged Mexican pizza had been ordered
at a Pizza Hut/KFC/Taco Bell instead of a plain Taco Bell or a combination
Taco Bell/KFC does that change its "pizzaness"? I think not.
We never discussed the KFC wraps. Sandwich or not? I say yes. They are
normally eaten with the hands and contain chicken, lettuce, tomatoes and
sauce I think, though I'm not sure I've had one. (or at least some of us
think it's a sauce.) Though it's on a tortilla I believe. It's a tortilla
wrap. I say sandwich (and wrap which is often a sandwich), though I doubt
Richard will agree since a tortilla is probably not a bread to him. Not
fluffy enough. Besides, what about the substitution principle which only
applies to sandwiches. You can't replace a tortilla with just any type of
bread and still have it be a wrap. Though as I explained in
<http://groups.google.com/groups?q=sandwich+seeliger+jet&hl=en&safe=off&rnum
=1&selm=01c122d0%246e013780%2447dafed1%40adkins> (that thread has 520
message in it according to Google, btw), I think overspecifying an X does
not make it an less X-like (it inherits from X.) I also still maintain
that a gordita, whether purchased at a Taco Bell or a combination Taco
Bell/KFC or anywhere else, if it is Taco Bell gordita-like, is indeed a
sandwich. The bread is very pita-like and I accept a stuffed pita,
including the Jack-in-the-Box® Chicken Fajita Pita®, and a gyro to be a
sandwich. (Note, I am not saying a gyro is stuffed, but that both the
stuffed pita and the gyro are sandwiches.)
[1]- Some friends of mine in college call it Taco Purgatory, as opposed I
suppose to Taco Hell.
[2]- Should I be using was or were?
[3]- With a name like marijuana though, you've got to suspect she's
Mexican, though she might claim to be Mary Jane to assimilate.
[4]- Though it calls itself a corn tortilla crust, it is not very
tortilla-like, but much more pizza-crust-like, and indeed, I didn't even
know it was a corn tortilla until I read the label this morning. I may
have to get some more Tombstone® Mexican Style Nacho Grande pizzas to do
more research on this or just because they taste so good.
[5]- All of which are owned by PepsiCo, maker of a soda which is also a
Cola because of its similarity to Coke® under the Fontana definition of a
cola called Pepsi®. They also own Frito-Lays who make corn chips which are
also Mexican, salsa (which Richard would not agree is a sauce, unlike me)
and Potato chips (among other things). The chips are not the type which in
the UK are normally served with fish, called in Spanish pecados, but I
digress.

You have to eat it with a fork. It does not come in pie-shaped slices.
It is impossible to pick up. It has two tortillas instead of a crust.
There's already a word for it in Spanish, too... Isn't it technically a
tostada?
L & k,
Amy (and really, none of the food at Toxic Bell should be considered
Mexican, any more than LaChoy meals-in-a-can should be considered Asian -
not that they're bad, they're just not exactly... authentic... now, are
they?)

No, no, no. PepsiCo has long since spun off the restaurant division
into a new company called Tricon Global Restaurants, which has one of
my favorite corporate names as well as one of my favorite New York
Stock Exchange ticker symbols (YUM).
(If you visit Tricon Global's Web site you will see that they place
great stock [har!] in the YUM concept.)

Yeah but Richard's definition of a cola is the only sensible one there
is. Note that this is different from the definition of the very very
tasty "champagne kola" flavor typified by the Inca Kola brand. A
champagne kola does not taste like a cola and it does not taste like
champagne; I think it tastes kind of like bubble gum and cotton candy
and other worldly delights.
