Makes sense. I didn't think Pequod's was outside of Chicago metropolitan area yet.

But they clearly are using them as inspiration.

Is that Pequod's?

It looks like caramelized crust, which for deep dish was started by Burt, who opened Pequod's (among others).

You should also try tavern-style, which is another Chicago style.

We need something to remind us of pain on those rare days when the weather is pleasant.

When you only have a handful of grocery store chains, there's little incentive to compete on pricing. They all benefit more by increasing their margins than trying to compete on price.

But there's still a minimum price based on overall inflation for groceries, whether futures traded or not. And even when inflationary pressures cease, rarely does that get translated into lower prices. That was the point the above poster was making.

Perishable goods are much more sensitive to supply chain disruptions than packaged goods. You will see price fluctuations both up and down. (One of the ideas behind futures trading is to minimize these fluctuations.) Eggs went down because the disruptions such as bird flue got ironed out.

Have a nice daycycle!

Despite trying to adjust for demographic bias, Gallup polls still have the problem of only reaching people who answer their phone when an unknown number calls them.

It was even worse back when they were only calling landlines despite many people no longer having them.

Another song that comes to mind, though this one from 2001, is P.O.D.'s "Youth of the Nation."

Your mention of Lou Reed's "Walk on the Wild Side" reminded me of Mark Wahlberg's "Wildside" from 1991, which sampled it and followed the same format in telling stories about real people. (Though all were set in the Boston area in that case.)

They opened Bluesky to the public so invites are no longer needed.
