For those of you who have regularly read my column or follow me on Twitter, you may know that I originally hail from Chicago. But I promise you that unlike the newest hit Netflix series Emily in Paris, we will not be discussing the merits of deep dish from Lou Malnati’s here, and I’ll spare you the tiresome debate that usually follows anytime someone brings up pizza from the Midwest or the East Coast.
