Currently on Gourmet.com, the most profanity-laced thing I’ve ever written:
[Chris Bianco’s Pizza Philosophy](http://www.gourmet.com/restaurants/2009/05/chris-biancos-pizza-philosophy)
> Like a martial arts student visiting the Shaolin Temple, my friend Brandon Pettit went to the mountaintop to gain wisdom from an acknowledged master of his discipline. The discipline is pizza, the mountaintop is Phoenix, Arizona, and the master is Chris Bianco, chef-owner of Pizzeria Bianco. Brandon asked a question: What keeps Bianco coming back to make the same six pizzas day after day?
> “You’re the motherfucker in front,†said Bianco, “controlling the fuckin’ elements, putting the shit in and out of the oven.â€
> Brandon and I nodded our heads slowly at this zenlike pronouncement.
blimey, he sure can swear can’t he!
Hey, the TSA confiscated rice pudding from us, too, yesterday. I apparently should have read your column first.
As a Phoenix resident I have to agree that pizza is to die for.
