 Michelle Obama Basically Said Grimaldi's Beats Chicago Pizza
The Gothamist
Michelle Obama took her mother, daughters, and three of their friends to acclaimed Brooklyn pizzeria Grimaldi's yesterday, and what started out as a casual lunch is now reigniting longstanding tensions between two bitterly warring factions: the Chicago-style pizza crowd vs. NYC. The Grimaldi's waiter who served the family, Rafal Harajda, told City Room that after they finished their meal of four pies—a plain, a pepperoni, a sausage and one with mus-The hrooms, peppers and onions—the First Lady of the United States of America declared, "It was better than Chicago pizza." Which must cut like a pizza slicer for Chicago, seeing as Obama is from their hometown. Harajda later clarified the First Lady's statement, but did not contradict it.
When asked by the Chicago Tribune about his quote to City Room, Harajda clarified: "No, what she said was, 'It's the best pizza, and I'm from Chicago.'" Which is essentially the same thing, and it's just the kind of Biden-esque remark that could cost the President the support of Illinois Democrats and derail the completion of health care reform. The only way this could be worse for Obama is if she had called Chicago pizza retarded. Below, a short video of the standing ovation the First Lady received after settling, once and for all, the longstanding dispute over which city has superior pizza:

 Michelle Obama gets pizza at Grimaldi's with daughters
examiner.com
First Lady Michelle Obama was spotted today at Grimaldi's pizza in Brooklyn, New York. The pizza joint is well known for its coal brick-oven pizza. In the world of pizza, Grimaldi’s is an institution. Grimaldi’s history of coal-fired brick oven pizza cooking can be traced to the first pizzeria in America back in 1905. Coal-fired brick oven cooking gives pizza a unique smokey flavor and a crisp crust that is just not possible with gas, convection, or wood ovens.
Regular customers were surprised to find secret service agents surrounding the pizzeria as they arrived for their usual bite to eat. They were asked to wait until the First Lady was done. Michelle Obama caught the musical Memphis over the weekend with daughters Malia and Sasha. |
