Since I have been travelling “a lot” in the last six months (compared to the last 5 or so years), every time I stop at a new city, I ask the locals for something unique of the region. When I was in Baltimore, I went for crab cakes; in Merrillville, due to its proximity to Chicago, deep dish pizza; in Philadelphia, cheese steak; and so on.
When I was in Jefferson City, I asked my usual question and, at first, they were bewildered. In a way, they couldn’t think of something “local”. And I won’t blame them, some places with such a massive influx of people, it becomes a melting pot and no cuisine becomes “dominant”. And I can easily relate that, since there is no such thing as a “local” dish in Vancouver. Oddly, when I asked for a restaurant location (at that point “anything works”), I was able to find one of the regional “specialties”. And that is the subject of today’s post, Arris’ Pizza

A constant “complain” in Vancouver is that it is a boring city. Most places are closed relatively early, no decent entertainment locations, et al. Whether this is true or not, I can’t say for certain, though I can vouch after certain hours (10:00 p.m.!), most places are indeed closed. The main entertainment center in Vancouver is Granville Street and, after clubbing or going to the theatres, chances are you might want to get something to eat. After my visit to Yaletown, as I blogged yesterday, I dropped by the area to, as expected, get something to eat. Sure, it was way before midnight but that gave me the chance to eat something and snap pictures undisturbed (well, almost).

Pizza… A topic where everybody has an opinion. In fact, I am sure if somebody asked 100 people, you can get as many different ones. Neapolitan, Sicilian, White; thin-crust, thick-crust, deep dish; how many toppings; what type of sauces; oven type and so on. In Vancouver, you have chains, mom-n-pop and a lot of by-the-slice locations and one of the better known is Nat’s New York Pizzeria (Denman’s location).

Uno Chicago Grill
2385 Southlake Mall
Merrillville, IN 46410
On my first day at my client’s site, when it was lunch time, I asked what was “local”, i.e., a dish that is unique to that city/town/region. I soon found out that, despite Merrillville is located in Indiana, it is heavily influenced by Illinois, specifically Chicago. And what dish did they suggest? Deep-dish pizza! Fortunately, there was a Uno Chicago Grill nearby so that’s were we ended up for lunch.
