The guy who sold me my K900 . We chatted. He asked me how my job is going. I asked about his. He told me how he’s flying out to Vegas for a wedding. This girl he met the other night came home with him and made him dinner for him. The next day, she comes in to his dealership and drops cash on an LS460. She decided she’s going to Vegas with him and bought herself a ticket. Sounds like a winner.
So, what did he want? He just told me to stop by next time I’m in the neighborhood, and he’ll have my car washed up nice. Maybe show me this place he knows for good deep dish (which is hard to find in Texas).
Nice guy.

You sure he wasn’t trying to sell you a car?

Amd it sounds like things are going pretty well for him, I’d say...
Does deep dish even exist outside Chicago? I didn’t think it did - I’m spoiled, we’re having it for dinner tonight.

I’m not sure, tbh. We used to have an Uno in North Dallas many years back, and that’s the closest thing I’ve ever seen here. I think I pretty much have to make it myself if I want it.

I assume he’s trying to maintain relationships to build possible referrals, which is smart if done the right way.

It would be a find to have a local joint that does a good job with deep dish in Dallas. I don’t eat it often but I do like it.

I bought my M3 from the Porsche dealer in Dallas, the guy that sold it to me followed up to see how it was doing.

When properly done, I don’t think most people’s GI systems are heavy duty enough to handle it on a regular basis. You’d think with all the migrating generations of northerners here, someone who knows how to make it would have set up shop, but alas no. Same thing with Italian pastry.

You would be crazy to eat that regularly.
I’ve known a lot of people who escaped Chicago and threatened to open up a pizza, or hot dog, or Italian Beef joint in their new city, but not one of them has followed through.

In Minnesota there’s a chain called Old Chicago, their deep dish is the bomb.

Right? The service department also tells me the K900s have their own specialty technicians, and they keep them garaged while in for service.

This is a way better way to build sales, than the old, “So, what’s it going to take to get you in this car today?”

I love cooking but yeah that industry is rough. These are all people like you and me with other careers, but like to cook/eat - the idea sounds good as long as you don’t actually think it through.
Do you have Chicago roots?

Moved to Indy when I was 8 and grew up there. Chicago is my second favorite city in the world. Also, I’m half Italian and kind of feel that Chicago is a cultural focal point in the Midwest, for food at least.

Idk probably not, it’s more of a dine-in, sports bar kind of place.

Nice! Yeah I think Chicago kinda is that, but I’m biased. Great Italian food and many many other kinds of food too.

Pls ask him to confirm that it is the correct type of deep dish:
