The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

A Chicago culinary treasure is going national: Pizza Hut just announced that it will now be serving tavern-style pizza to the masses—and we don't know how we feel about it. While most of the world associates Chicago with deep dish pizza, many locals favor a thinner crust. Dating back to the 1930s, tavern-style pies are cut into squares and were originally served at local taverns by bartenders alongside drinks, most often for free as a way to lure patrons to stay on premise and take down some more cocktails. Given the constant chatter about all things pizza—who makes the most authentic pies, what city should be crowned Pizza Town, USA—we're not sure we're ready for our very own creation to take the national spotlight and incur the wrath of some very opinionated folks.
