110: Steve Dolinsky

Today we have some serious pizza talk—Chicago pizza talk, specifically—with a legitimate Chicago pizza expert. His name is Steve Dolinsky, and in Chicagoland, he’s known simply as the “Food Guy” (formerly the “Hungry Hound”). Steve is an absolute legend in the food writing game, and Matt talked to him about his two books on Chicago pizza, as well as diving into some other cool spots in the Windy City, one of America’s greatest food cities. We also smash a slight beef between Dolinsky and TASTE’s Anna Hezel while clearing up some misinformation about the Chicago pie (or is it a “casserole”?) that might be on your mind.  More from Steve Dolinsky:A Chicago Tradition for 75 Years and Counting [NBC 5]Tavern-style Chicago Pizzas in the Pacific Northwest [Pizza City Podcast] Buy: The Ultimate Chicago Pizza Guide
