Give your taste buds some love. I’ve been making this about once a week lately: [http://www.rachaelrayshow.com/food/recipes/breakfast-pizza/](http://www.rachaelrayshow.com/food/recipes/breakfast-pizza/) ---

Unless it’s still a Christmas tree lot, I guess. I Googled Ted Drewe’s to post a link, but their site says closed in January. I think Ted usually vacations in Florida in January. OTOH, a relatively nice day like today with some holiday visitors still in town would have made for a busy day. @ Hazle- with ~30 locations plenty of people share your love for Imo’s- if not the sardines and anchovies toppings. :eek: ---

There is nothing fundamentally wrong with liking this pizza food (It’s like cheese food). We just want to make sure that there is a very health quarantine around the general St. Louis area to keep it from escaping. ---

> [@myskepticsight](#): > > Provel is a mixture of swiss, provolone and cheddar. It is a cheese meant to not be all stringy so when you bite your pizza the whole damn top doesn’t come off with it. And it cuts well too, your square of pizza shouldn’t be stuck with cheese strings to another. that sounds so weird to me-- as far as i’m concerned, the stringier the cheese, the better. but i grew up in chicago and we like our pizza with LOTS and LOTS of (real) cheese ---

> [@5\_time\_champ](#): > > I think Ted usually vacations in Florida in January. Actually, he vacations in Hawaii. Or at least, he did once. Since I had the odd pleasure of visiting my aunt in Seattle a few years back to have this conversation: Aunt: “Oh, we met the _nicest_ couple from St. Louis while in Hawaii – they said you’d know them!” Me: 😕 “There are an _awful_ lot of people in St. Louis…” Aunt: “Oh, it was Dottie and someone… Ted or Ed, I think…” Me: :eek: “Ted and Dottie _Drew_?!?” That was it. And, moreover, next time I saw him at the Chippewa store, _he remembered them_. But not enough for me to get any free stuff, so, eh.
