OMG. I want to try this. I’m not a professional pizza eater, but it is a minor hobby of mine. When I was growing up, my dad and I would fight over the “big half” of a large pie – you know, the six slices that were slightly larger than the other six slices by virtue of an errant stroke of the pizza cutter. It’s this sort of thing, along with skipping 12th-period gym class to go to McDonald’s with the Tims, that can probably explain the habits that have led to the extra 20 pounds I’ve put on in the last 16 months. But I figure this at least makes me qualified to give the Rocco’s Pizza Challenge a try. Who wants to see this?
