Who doesn't want to give pizza a chance? Please give Alex Hughes (@MrAlexHughes) a warm welcome to the fireside! Alex recently finished his PhD from York University, where he explored the topic of pizza-consuming habits in Canada and the US for his doctoral dissertation. We discuss how using the lens of pizza can tell the fascinating story regarding the cultural divergence of two lakeside cities: Toronto and Buffalo. We also debate what makes the "perfect pizza" and of course, chat about the controversy surrounding the Hawaiian slice! As always, stay curious, stay cozy.
