Modernist Pizza Podcast trailer

<description>&lt;a href="https://emojipedia.org/pizza/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕&lt;/a&gt; As this is the last episode of Season 1, we’ll take a moment to reflect on pizza’s long and winding path to pervasiveness. It’s impossible to put pizza in a box, but we’ll do our best here — or at least freeze a few pies for future consideration, and ship some straight from Naples. We’ll attend the Union Nations of pizza school, or maybe retreat to the woods, all the while finding ways to give back that way pizza has given to all of us. We’ll write love letters to pen pals, read some pizza-themed kids’ lit, and look towards the next generation of pizza makers, who maybe, just maybe, might see pizza in space.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr&gt;&lt;p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'&gt; Hosted on Acast.

Pizza In Space

<description>&lt;p&gt;🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕 Pizza is a universal language, one of love, and legend. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;We’ll start with a trip to South America, by way of Argentina and Brazil … No, we’re not doing this alphabetically, but rather, chronologically. The first pizzas sold in Buenos Aires were by Don Agustin Banchero, at his bakery Olivarria in 1893, who, surprisingly, was a Genoan immigrant, not Neapolitan. Banchero, the standalone pizzeria, wasn’t opened until the 1930s in the La Boca port area.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;Whereas Brazil’s pizza culture dates back to the early 1900s, thanks to an influx of immigrants from Campania — here, the style is personal pies, served at dinner only, and eaten with a knife and fork.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;In Japan, there’s an emergence of Tokyo-style marinara, a 50/50 ratio of tomato sauce to olive oil, but what seems to be most important there, is the experience, or as they call it: &lt;em&gt;ometanashi&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;And of course we’re going to talk about Italy … but what is there to say that hasn’t been said already? A lot it seems! We’ll hear from modern day masters, a chef in Rome applying modernist techniques to toppings, as well as the making of “mountain pies” in the hills between Venice and the Dolomites.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr&gt;&lt;p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'&gt; Hosted on Acast.

La Boca & Tokyo Marinara

<description>🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕 Don’t worry, we’ll address the elephant in the room: why does Modernist Cuisine think Portland, Oregon, is the pizza capital of the United States? Francisco will make this abundantly clear. We’ll also clarify California-style pizza, do a deep dive into Chicago’s pizza allegiances, get our fricco on with Detroit’s cheesy crust, and drive a 250-mile stretch of highway along the Mississippi river to visit seasonal pizza farms in Wisconsin. We’ll also cross bridges and tunnels to find out why the best pizza in the tristate area may be from New Jersey? And how Mystic, Connecticut, a seaport town that came to fame in the late 1980s for a pizza-themed movie, now has a umami-packed pie of its own!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr&gt;&lt;p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'&gt; Hosted on Acast.

We Bought The Pizza Farm

<description>🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕 We survey the multitude of pizza making ovens around the world, why wood is the romantic choice for fuel source, how one pizzeria had to burn to the ground to reinvent themselves, what the first steps to building your own oven are, and how to take that portable pizza oven from the backyard to realizing your own brick and mortar — not to mention how pizza trucks are driving the pizza oven revolution.
