A Cheesy Question for Cain

By Aaron Goldstein on 6.13.11 @ 2:22PM

Jim Antle's piece on Herman Cain in which he characterizes the Georgia Republican's foreign policy as "the pizza doctrine" has whetted my appetite with a question.

Now I am sure most of you won't find this question to be of much substance. You might even find it, well, cheesy. But ask I must.

So what does Herman Cain think of soy cheese pizza and pizza with no cheese?

Well, I hope I can to the bottom - or should I say - the topping of this question.

Semi-Full Disclosure: My cousin owns one of the best Pizzerrias in the Northern Chicago area.

Herman Cain is an admirable man on many issues, but he supports atypical offerings on pizzas, such as pineapple chunks. He's basically a pragmatist without an ideology on pizza. But we're talking about the Presidency, not Pizza sales.

Damn OT, now you're made me hungry and prone to head for your cousin's pizza place!!!!!

It is Gulliver's. It is in Skokie, and has one of the finest private collections of Victorian Statuary in the US, in addition to damnfine pizza. Full disclosure: I have no financial interest in the place, and my cuz won't even give me a damn discount.

But it is a great place to take a date for Pizza. You will be eating and looking at the artwork, I guarantee you.

I'm sorry. Apparently my distant cousin died in 2006 (very large family). But the place is at 2727 Howard Street. I had not eaten there for about 10 years, since before 9/11. (I have not LIVED in Chicago since 1984).

However, checking the website, I see they still have the statuary, etc. I guess I'll check it out the next time I'm in town visiting the 'rents.

My apologies, sir.

Clearly we need a national, single pizza system where government uses its massive purchasing power to deliver free pizza's to every American and and especially our undocumented Americans.

Industry may balk at this, but once they realize that every American will be required to purchase pizza every Friday night they'll see the wisdom of getting on board.
