New York Trivia Tuesday
In the New York-style vs. Chicago-style pizza wars, everyone has an opinion. New York-style pizza is known for its thin, hand-tossed crust and it's thin layer of sauce, as opposed to Chicago's deep dish and thick sauces. New Yorkers often eat their slices folded in half, to make it easier to eat (and to get more in each delicious bite!).
A key ingredient in NY pizza, however, is often overlooked by pizza fans, though not by chefs, who have been known to transport it from NYC to pizzerias across the country. What is the secret ingredient to the perfect New York-style slice?
a) shortening
b) New York cheddar
c) water
d) Kosher salt
