Top This: Bottomings!

Hey there, Forkosphere.

Sorry about that delay--the real world intervened and the ol' Forkster now finds himself working 9 to 5 (ahem, 8:30 to 5:30) with a commute and everything. Food fun has taken a backseat for a while, but Fork & Spoon should resume service now on a somewhat regular basis.

On that note...As part of my ongoing though somewhat-less-exuberant dalliance with Trader Joe's, I've been using their dough to make pizza most weeks. Well, I've been spending my own money, but you knew what I meant.

The other night, in making the standard mushroom and olive, a little black pearl somehow ended up underneath. Well you've all heard of toppings, but what about "Bottomings?!"

This blessing from the Food Gods came about through chance. The olive slice probably fell off when I was shoveling the first pie onto the pizza stone and was baked into the underside of the second pizza. It was quite a novelty and made for quite a bite.

If you're in the Pizza Hut corporate office and are reading this, let's talk. There are only so many pizza innovations left, and I'm ready to make a package deal for Bottomings and the Falzone/Calzinger.

Might this fluke be the start of something big (a la Mr. Reese and his peanut butter and chocolate mishap)? I'm sure The Beard Foundation is on the edge of their seats. As am I.

Good to see you're back in the blogosphere. The 9-5 is really gettin' to ya, huh? Anyways-- for gods sake man, take your post down. That's money in the bank. The big pizza companies are desperate for any innovation they can find-- take it to papa john's and tell 'em you've got a big offer from pizza hut already for your idea. The cash will pour in...

Thanks, N.Dog. Yeah, working a full time job has been...an adjustment. It's just plain awkward photographing your meal at a business lunch.

Still awaiting word from the James Beard people and Big Pizza. Still not holding my breath.
