@kevinr @atsuzaki @dan @regehr @sharon it’s so true. Dan is also half Minnesotan so he knows the hot dish.

@regehr @dan our fave local pizza place has tots as a pizza topping, and we've gotten that, uh, definitely more than once (I like it with bell peppers and onions as the other toppings)

John Regehr

@lindsey @dan funny I never thought of potatoes as a pizza topping but our standard local place just started doing this and it’s totally delicious

@kevinr @dan @regehr @irene @sharon nuh uh the highest calling for tots is to become totchos. second highest calling is to be in breakfast burrito

@regehr @lindsey @dan dude get the potato and bacon from the Pie Hole

John Regehr

@ricci @lindsey @dan somehow we've never been there. that sounds really good.

but I need to make sure that this place has nothing to do with The Pie, is that correct? because, while I love cheese, The Pie uses about an LD50 of cheese

John Regehr

@ricci @lindsey @dan the crust becomes merely a structural support system for cheese. the toppings are these cute little decorations for cheese. if I want that level of cheese I'll get the cheese truck to back up to my house with a pallet.

Rob Ricci

@regehr @lindsey @dan it's extremely different. potato bacon is one of their standard ones that's always available by the slice. afaict, the other places around here that have started doing potato as a topping are all just copying the pie hole

Rob Ricci

@regehr @lindsey @dan and this is why I love the pie

and also they somehow do amazing vegan pizzas

John Regehr

@ricci @lindsey @dan I'm happy to eat at The Pie like once a year
