#TONIGHT SHOW SCREEN GRABBER TV#
Then as the Green Bay Packers decimated the Chicago Bears last month, TV cameras panned to a lonely Packer fan holding up a sign reading, “Deep Dish Pizza is Overrated.” The fan didn’t know any better and was trying to have fun, but it was the subsequent pick ups by national sports media trying to push a rivalry that didn’t exist that were tired. Just recently, there’s the Emily in Paris fiasco. However, deep dish also continues to define Chicago on the national stage no matter how much locals plead otherwise. Chicagoans eat deep dish more than they would admit, but it’s still reserved for special occasions. It’s the pizza that tourists line up to try in downtown Chicago, before and even during the pandemic. Nurturing and filling deep dish, thanks to effective marketing, is instead what natives serve to their out-of-town guests.
If anything, Obama’s deep-dish restraint has further bolstered his Chicago cred, as tavern style - cut into squares and triangles - is what most Chicagoans eat regularly. He’s mentioned Italian Fiesta in Hyde Park as a family favorite for tavern-style pies. When it comes to Chicago pizza, the former president has in the past shown a preference for the city’s signature thin-crust pizza. It’s also where he met his wife Michelle Obama is a native Chicagoan and a fan of deep dish, telling People that she prefers it over N.Y. For background, Obama wasn’t raised in Chicago (he’s from Hawai’i - but would also tell Fallon that pineapple doesn’t belong on pizza), even though it’s where his political career took off.
