What’s Everyone Else Gonna Eat?

Whenever my stomach makes a really weird noise, I send a pizza down to check it out.

 The other day, I sent a gigantic one down – a 36-incher from Big Mama’s & Papa’s. It was especially meaningful for me. I remember growing up in New York, yearning to someday live in Los Angeles. My big brother came out here for a visit, and returned with a picture from a party he attended of his friend Greg spreading his arms across a Big Mama’s pizza, and a “can you believe it!” look on his face.

It was a life-changing moment for a young Matthew Shevin. It took a while, but mission finally accomplished. I can die now.
