Only Jim Cornette could get me too watch a twenty minute video on how he eats pizza lol
I was hoping it went longer lol both made great points but if u know last doesnt like meat on his pizza how can u ever take him serious?
same thing for me
I'd wouldn't mind to hear his take on eating pussy. He's intelligent and has many years under his belt. LOL what's his go-to? does he do deep and wild or superficial and gentle? 😄 that's a conversation AEW doesn't get to speak much of. 😝
i'll be damn, right now i'm eating pizza i made myself and now see this new clip, sweet!
Better than modern wrestling.
Corny with the massive heel turn we never expected. Top level booking
Any time Jim and Brian discuss food it's like a contest to see who can have the worst opinion.
These two really do deserve each other. 😄
“Crust is crust” - JC (facepalms)
Facts
For real, especially when talking about pizza. Everyone knows the only real good pizza is a proper Neapolitan pizza, straight out of the oven, topped with delicious tomato and beautiful mozzarella (possibly a couple of slices of salami, I like that), and some basil on top.
These 2 talking about pizza is still better than most of today's modern sports entertainment
Jim saying Pizza should be cut into squares has gotten more heat with me than the entire WWE roster put together for the past 10 years
Imo's pizza and square slices go hand-in-hand. The pizza would taste funny if it were cut into triangles!
He was halfway there when he said "crust is crust" but the squares sent me spiralling
Tavern style square cut is how real Chicago pizza is done. The deep dish if for tourists
Chicago cut (Square cut) pizza is only good on thin crust pizza.
I mean Sicilian slices exist...
This is too funny! The “bone” of the pizza.
Sucking out the stuffed crust/pepperoni = sucking bone marrow
Analogy so fits!!
Honestly, Cornette even makes pizza stories interesting and a great listen.
Too bad Jim never heard of stuffed crust tho but then again, he is a very hard to convince out of anything
This man called crust the "pizza bone." I am done for the night. 🤣😂
You eat your pizza circumcised?
Boneless pizza
It's a "people with dogs" thing.
Brian telling Jim to "Get the FUCK out here!" was hilarious on square slices.
LMAO 😂😆🤣
I agree with Brian being a New Yorker.
Bacon/ pineapple is my favorite...... I'm not proud of it, but I won't shy away from it either. I just know I cant step foot in New York.
I grew up always eating New York pizza, but I still enjoy some square slices like Sicilian. And I don't know what Jim is talking about "no topping pizza like you have up in New York" given I used to often get pepperoni or chicken slices (chicken on the pizza) as my go to slice in New York or Hoboken (used to live in Hoboken, would travel into NYC a lot.) It's just Brian and his particular stubborn insistence on NEVER mixing meat and cheese on ANY dish that I've heard him mention, that makes him get plain ass pizza all the time and try to glorify it, not New York in general, lol. I hope Jim understands this.
Also, I wonder if (since Brian is Jewish, as he's mentioned) if he doesn't mix meat and cheese because he follows that aspect of Jewish religious law, or if it's just his general taste, since not every Jewish person follows those dietary laws strictly. Somehow, in all the times this argument with meat and cheese has come up on the podcast over the years, Brian has NEVER clarified this point, lol.
@@DeathBringer769 No he doesn't keep kosher. He just prefers cheese pizza. (He's mentioned this before.)
I'll say it...Chicago pizza is better
@@christophersuswal9544 Pepperoni & Black Olives, idk why but they work so well on a pizza for me.
I don't agree with really anything Brian has to say about food, pizza especially, but I agree on the crust. If the pizza is good enough the crust will be eaten. That's actually the most essential part of a good pizza is a good pizza dough.
But u dont need the crust to be good
Crust is dry bread end
Base is softened/flavoured by sauces from toppings
As with sandwiches
@@ithinkaboutthings9052 I ran to the comments section as soon as I heard that
People that dont think dough is important, dont know pizza & have a gutter palate.
My main problem with most of Brian's takes on food is his refusal to ever mix meat and cheese, but I think that might be part of his religious faith. I wish he'd clarify whether it's just his taste though or if it's him following that aspect of Jewish law. He NEVER clarifies this point and I'm surprised Jim has never asked every time they argue about this, lol.
07:40 - Brian's reaction here had me laughing so hard I was gasping for air!
I have to agree with Brian's reaction. Chicago party style is not really pizza. I haven't had square pizza slices since middle school.
@@joshshields5921 I live in Illinois and I have no love of that Chicago style pizza, either. Nor do I think Jim likes it. My favorite pizza place in Illinois cuts theirs in squares and it is perfect for their pizza. It is not for all types of pizza, though.
@@joshshields5921 Jon Stewart's Deep Dish "Pizza* rant comes to mind lol
I burst out laughing lol
I died laughing woke up the kid
I think that the Italians would say that they have the best pizzas in the world, NOT New York, New Jersey, or Long Island
Jim I love you and everything you've done for the business, more than most wrestlers. That being said, you are the Vince Russo of Pizza.
😆😆😆😆😆😆👏👏👏👏👏👏🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕
😂😂😂😂😂
JC and Brian should do a episode on food at least once a week.
Once a month.. let's not hot shot the territory and kill business down the road
It kills me that Jim has the culinary convictions of a 9 year old.
Or of a 80 year old lady with artificial teeth, who can't build up pressure with her jaws anymore.
Brian won't eat meat with cheese, be only eats cheese pizza, and refuses to have protein for breakfast. That's childish
Both Jim and Brian have very childish palettes
@@BeyondDaX Jim Cornette, childish?? You shock me (!)
@@BeyondDaX They are both high maintenance when it comes to food. Both have rich parents, wealthy upbringing. Which explains a lot.
Cold pizza for breakfast the next day is best thing
Ah I see you're a man of culture aswell
If it’s a good pizza. Most chain places like Pizza Hut, Papa John’s, Domino’s, Lil Caesar’s…etc. are only edible for about an hour. So you can forget about the next day.
Agreed
Sometimes I buy more just for this reason
I've never gotten that. I've only done that if I was desperate and in a rush, or had no way to heat it available. It's never been my preference. Even the next morning, I still prefer to heat it up in the oven and get it warm and crispy, if possible.
Sorry Jim, but Brian takes a rare W here when it comes to food debates. You gotta eat the crust, it's almost as delicious as the pizza itself in my honest opinion. Especially when you have leftover cheese and meat that fell off the pizza, and you eat it with the crust.
Good crust is God tier
No sauce, no crust for me. Gotta have marinara sauce to dip it in. If not it like eating stupid bread
@@joeshipley666 exactly. Sauce and cheese make the pizza. I’m not paying to eat extra bread. Pizza places offer marinara cups for a reason. No decent person eats bread sticks or crust without some kind of dip or filling.
just means you’ve not got a big enough pizza if u have room for crust.
My question is, given Jim’s fondness for dipping sauces, how has he not figured out he can dip the crust in something?
St Louis style pizza is made with a thin crust with no yeast. It has a crispy cracker type crust. The Provel cheese is an emulsified blend of Swiss, cheddar, and provolone. The sauce is usually spread to the edge of the crust.
Never had it but cracker crust is my favorite too. Cheers from Winnipeg
I'm a food nerd, so I actually really appreciate your description. America is full of regional specialties..... including Jim Cornette himself.
I like my crust to actually be airy. Thin, hard crusts are one of the things I can't do. Cool that you do, though, and it's nice to get an explanation of exactly what it entails. Also nice job providing the makeup of the cheese blend.
You’re leaving out that provel tastes like absolute garbage.
I love it when Cournette was like "they cut them in to squares" and Bryan gets so dam offended. For dam good reason too!
⁰
That was the best. He was so done with Corny’s bullshit.
Don’t fuck with New Yorkers about pizza I guess lol
(I love Mama Rosa’s Lasagna Pizza when I go to Queens. Will say we got a damn good Neopolitan place here in Atlanta.)
Best pizza I ever had was a Chicago deep pan RECTANGULAR pizza just a big tray of cheese sauce and sausage
@@SmegulonPrime Chicago style is the best style.
It's a pizza PIE. What round pie do you cut into squares?!
Jim living every 12 year olds dream of not eating crust with no repercussions
And then there's Pewdiepie, who refuses to ever share a pizza, always gets his own separate one (even when just with his wife Marzia) and eats a circle out of the center of the pizza, staying away from the crust entirely, leaving an awkward, wasteful pizza ring at the end, lol. And he's a grown man in his 30s as well. Guess that's one of the perks of being a spoiled millionaire who can indulge in your weird habits freely. And in his videos he insists it's the only "correct" way to eat a pizza, lmao.
But then again rich people like pewdiepie are a waste of human DNA if they are that wasteful of food
9:36 “what the Fook is a matter with you” that part killed me 😂😂
Hearing how Jim eats pizza like a child is priceless. I wonder if his missus cuts the crust off his sandwiches...
If he likes banana pudding then you know he takes off the crust of his sandwhich
Huge JC fan from NYC. The moment he said "crust is crust" all his credibility went out the window
Couldn't believe my ears.
Yea that killed me. Hims just a southern boy. We gotta cut him a break on anything thats not bbq.
Pizza bone. Pizza handle. Imagine if Corny let out his own cookbook and it had descriptions like that, with side notes for each recipe written by Brian
Never thought of pizza like this before, but the crust really is like the bone or the handle. Bravo Jim.
I think that's how Italians tend to see it.
Throwing away the crust is a waste of (when done right) perfectly good food, f'n savages.
Yup, I cut it up into small pieces and dry them out for flavourful bread crumbs for making meatloaf or meatballs.
@@Tittymaster Not gonna lie, hearing what I presume are Americans talking about crust/bread like it's a crime against humanity, or refering to their stomachs like prime real estate that is reserved for only their most favourite food like a 3-year-old. Or proudly declare how they waste food if it's isn't slathered in cheese or dunked in a calorie-laden sauce....
Dudes, that isn't the flex you think it is.
As someone with roots in the Chicago area, I will say that St. Louis style pizza is a horrible provincial backwater when it comes to pizzas. Give me the Chicago "tavern style" thin crust (which does generally adopt the square cut) or classic NY style any day of the week. Also, people who don't eat their crust are heathens and Brian's right you want that baked sauce around the rim.
I wanted to knock your pizza choices but I realized you said tavern style and I've never even heard of Chicago tavern-style. I just think this stereotypical Chicago-style pizza is a mess. The one thing I will say, is that if a pizza doesn't end up with enough grease on top of it to lube up a carnival midway it's no good.
@@mage1439 Yeah, I'm not a big fan of "Chicago-style" pizza. TBH I only know 1 native Chicagoan (out of both sides of my family, friends etc.) who eats it regularly. Most consider it tourist food, with real Chicago pizza having a very thin, very crispy crust cut into squares.
We need a couple of shows were Jim and Brian meet to go to New York and Saint Louis for pizza cuisine! A taste test challenge pizza marathon!
Jim will never want to go to New York
I've heard that Chicago has good pizza
@@jaysonraphaelmurdock8812 It does! So does NYC! Go to Giordano's if you are in the Chicago neighborhood! Or Joe's in Manhattan. But I know bc of recomendation, am not a native of either.
@@TheEnzyme94 good luck with that Joe's in Manhattan recommendation.. there has to be at least 1000 Joe's of the Famous or original variety on Manhattan island.
Chicago kicks both their asses. And not even the deep dish; the thin “cracker crust” pizza or the more doughy pan pizza blows St. Louis or New York pizza away. And who in their right mind puts jimmy dean sausage on a pizza?
I got just as upset as Brian when the squares were brought up. Come on Corny!
My jam as a pre-teen in the early to mid 90s, was Pizza Hut's (before they became total garbage) "Bigfoot" pizza, which indeed was a rectangular pizza cut into square slices. Not the weirdest thing in the world.
I remember the Bigfoot pizza
I remember those. So awesome.
Those are called Sicilian
Bigfoot pizza was awesome. Back when pizza hut was actually edible
This didn't happen to be in Washington state, did it?
That’s some Vince McMahon level crazy right there
I wonder how Italy feels about New York having the best Pizza
I could listen to Jim and Brian argue about pizza all day.
I wonder when they will ever make an entire Omnibus on Food. Even if most of it is grilling Last for his weird choices.
My god Jim literally has the pizza opinions of a four year old boy.
I mean, sure, Jim not liking the crust is also typical of little kids leaving the crust, I will admit, lol. But eating ONLY plain cheese pizza like Brian also reminds me of a picky toddler/little kid palate as well. I remember a lot of kids growing up only liking plain cheese.
I love how Brian was considering explaining what a grandma pie is, and then realized it would be a total waste of time.
I wish someone would explain it. 😂
@@joenobody5631 it’s a nice fluffy sheet crust.
It's basically a thin Sicilian with sauce dabbed over the cheese.
@@yedits4ya @Inverted Name Sounds delicious. Thanks.
There's a small place near me called Sal's that has a really good grandma pie. My Dad always gets it every time he goes, long as I can remember. They often run out of it. They also do really good Italian rolls with fresh garlic on it as a free appetizer, if you want it.
Yeah, edge crust pieces are my favorite bites especially for the square cut slices you get here in the Midwest
Because we put the cheese right to the edge. 🤤
Yes then little corner triangle slices in a square cut, the best
I always eat the crust. It's the best part. Sometimes I rip it open in half and either add parmesan cheese to it or take some of the toppings from the pizza and squeeze them in the opend crust and make it like a cheesy pepperoni bread. It's like having 2 meals lol!
The best part is very questionable, no matter what you do with it. But yes. Crust is a good part of the pizza.
That's too much work. If it's not pre- stuffed or there's isn't any dipping sauce, that dry crust goes uneaten. 🍕😜
If I have any sauces on standby, I dip the crust in the sauce. People that don't eat the crust are confusing as hell.
You people are far too all or nothing. Whether the crust is the best part, or even a good part, heavily depends on the quality of the crust. I've eaten pizza with crust that tasted like burnt ass, and I refute anyone telling me "oh, but you have to eat the crust." And this is coming from someone who, in the last few days of being low on food has made cornbread with water (dry as hell) and eaten it with jelly just to have something sweet. So I'm in no way a food snob.
These two finally get into a shoot and it's about pizza 🤣
Imos pizza seasoning. Equal parts oregano, fennal seed, and cracked black pepper.
I'm with Brian. My favorite pizza places all have distinctive crusts
I must say Jim is correct. I grew up in Madison, TN and there was a phenomenal pizza place called Sir Pizza. They had a meatlovers called the King’s Feast and they cut it in squares. Best pizza I’ve ever had.
Jim and Brian need to do a web series where they drive across America in the Lasalle arguing about food.
I don’t like my pizza to be so doughy that it firmly sticks out, able to be eaten without folding. I want a floppy slice, not soggy, floppy.
I wait for the pizza to get lukewarm, and a bit stiff. That floppy pizza makes me gag.
i'm from st.louis and the fact jim is talking up our pizza style is amazing!!!
"You're not gonna get away with this!"
🤣🤣🤣
I agree with Brian... I remember seeing those commercials " it's not delivery, it's digiorno ". And thought who would compare resturant pizza with that cardboard frozen crap? Then I had pizza in the south.
Even funnier still? I live in Pennsylvania. We have _great_ pizza...............on the east coast. As a general rule, I've noticed pizza gets progressively worse the further you go inland. It's weird.
Last night I got half a pizza with the works at my local shop for $2 dollars just because it had been sitting in the warmer for 40 minutes, huge score🥰
2k, damn that was some pizza!
@@dkupke lol 2 dollars
Way cheaper than 6 million$ haha
@@michaelpitt57 🤣🤣
So Brian knows his pizza, but there's a place in NJ that makes a "tomato pie" that is cut similar to Jim's description. Absolutely great pie.
I love it when Corny talks about food. I wonder if he’s got to try the new crispier fries at Wendy’s.
This is the most entertaining conversation the two of you have had on this show
We definitely need a good omnibus with these two next lol absolute gold!
Pizza bone needs to become a thing
i love how i agree with Jim all the way until the square pizza and then Brian comes in hot with the "oh GIVE me a fuckin break" LMAO
I'm with Brian Last on this subject. How many pizza places serve square cut pizza?! 🤣
Come to Ohio. There are a ton of them. Donatos is the number one regional pizza shop.
@Brian Smith , whereabouts in Ohio? I'm from Wilmington, OH and I loved Casano's.
I love Jim’s opinions and say-so on wrestling… even the things I disagree with.
But as a proud native Bronxite; no.
Just no.
We need a corny pizza 🌽🍕 vid, at least annually
Brian getting that mad the second Jim said cutting it into squares like normal people really got me truly LMAO
Imos Pizza is unmatched. Some may hate the provel cheese but I adore it.
Imos is overrated. So many better places to go to in St Louis. I will eat Imos but its not near top. Pirrones, Faraci, Angelos all blow Imos away.
@@trav8412 I won't deny this, but none of those are only a delivery phone call away.
@@blakecasey6208 You would be surprised. Pirrones will ship and id bet some other places do also. Imos 100% has the best marketing in the stl pizza game though.
Square slices 4 lyfe
As a nj resident Brian speaks complete and utter truth regarding ny/nj pizza. ( i know im biased ) Best In the....country.....like mussolini and kennedy
West Virginia style is the best. It beats New York, Chicago, and Detroit.
@@andrew8168 Inbred pizza covered in black soot?
NY style is good, no doubt. But his "plain cheese pizza only" obsession is not representative of how most people order pizza in NJ/NY though, lol.
I've known ppl that won't eat the end crust, for whatever reason. I have never heard it called "the bone" of the pizza 😂😂😂
As soon as he said they cut them in squares I knew Brian was going to lose it....
Imo's is probably the most influential St Louis Pizza, but if you're a native that was there a few decades ago, your heart belongs to Pantera's, and you can't look at a hot air balloon without getting hungry.
Panteras was a good one. 1980s they were the place. Imos is too expensive and just soso. So many better places for stl pizza
The metal band?
Honestly I thought this way too when I was younger, crust was the part we threw away, no one wanted that stuff, it was dry, didn't taste like much and was merely the piece you used to hold up the good stuff with. That was before I actually ate real quality pizza. The crust being dull and unappealing is an undeniable sign of a bad quality pizza. A good pizza makes you crave the crust as much as the middle part, just like a good loaf of bread makes you desire the crust as much if not more than the middle part.
Crust can vary . Personally I loved stuffed pizza and it's crust . Thin crust can go either way depending on where I order from. If your ever in the Illinois area look into Palermo's. Delicious crust and sauce. The current trend I hate is a lot of pizza places have garlic crust like a pizza hutt and a domins . I prefer non garlic original crust
I can't count how many times this made me laugh out loud!
I like imos pizza. It's better than other chain places like pizza hut or dominos etc . It's not New York, Chicago,or Detroit style by all means but it's good for what it is.
Honestly, i'm not english and thought it's Emo's Pizza.
@@TheLibermania It's named after the founders, Ed and Margie Imo.
I'm with Brian on this one. If you don't eat the pizza crusts, your goofy!
Exhaust fumes belching in the door 🤣
As a NJ life long resident(TY for your condolences) I have to say: Meat does not and cannot save a shit plain slice.
*Like Fettuccine... and parm cheese. Olive Garden satisfies your hunger needs. Unlimited salad, soup and bread sticks as you please....because here you're family, and that's how you should fest. You're family here... so you should feast"*
I cracked up when Corny started talking bout the squares- no, no, no!!
I kinda get where Jim is coming from. Crust is like the bone. But i usually leave a bite of actual pizza to go with the crust, and I usually try to have a marinara and/or garlic dipping sauce nearby. But a square-cut pizza is unholy.
PIZZA BONE
As a NJ resident, I side with Brian on this.
Im Born and i live in italy . I just want to say that my mother start to cry when she heard that jim cornette cut the pizza in squares.. 😅😅
I love Corny more than life itself. However (being a NYC guy) he just turned heel on me with the comments on (the triangular) NYC pizza 🤣
“I don’t eat the crust of any pizza!”
The privilege 😂
My sister used to eat my crust when we were kids. She filled up on my scraps and I got to have another slice or two.
@@EXPLISITemcee That episode is hilarious. Even the homeless people refused to eat the muffin bottoms, lmao.
I'm glad OK signs are not racist
People order bread sticks,but the crust from a pizza is basically a breadstick.
I'll never eat pizza again without thinking of this episode.
First time you've heard them discuss pizza?
Gotta love when Brian asks J Corn. old-man type questions.😆
More .... More! More food fight please.
Cult of meat with Extra Cheese, if you please.
You gotta appreciate someone who embraces Imo's style pizza.
“Oh give me a fucking break!” I love Brian 😂
I love crust
I’ll attest to the IMO’s Pizza take. I was skeptical about it until I had it myself. That Provel cheese is FANTASTIC! Get you a large IMO’s Pizza with sausage and onions. It’ll rock your world!
For me it's hamburger, pepperoni, green peppers and black olives. So good it'll make you start touching yourself.
Imos is meh. Ill take a Cecil Whittakers over Imos everyday for chain stl pizza. Imos is about 6th on my list for stl pizza.
@@trav8412 try nick and elnas in the county best in the city
There's an episode of the drive thru from years back where Corny mentions the Roca Bar and how ever since the new owners took over, it's just not the same. The sorrow in Jim's voice when he said that is remarkable. The man loves his pizza
The Pizza Wars have begun😂 Happy new year everybody
Omg what Imos pizza is amazing, I grew up near one
Drunken Grandma Pizza is SO good.
7:40 "Oh give me a f__king break" - Brian
I burst out laughing every time I hear him say it lol
Always ask for a cup of sauce to dip the bones of the pizza into when the rest of the round pizza is gone.
Domino's is the crackhead choice of pizza sorry Brian LOL
Jim exposed his pedestrian taste in pizza when he said the best part of a Round, Square-Cut, Pizza is in the center. Every Pizza Connoisseur knows for that style of pizza the best part is the highly coveted small Triangle pieces on each of the 4 corners. A delicious bite-size slice that allows you to experience every element of the pizza all at once. With the highlight being the contrast between Toppings, Sauce, Cheese, and the delicious ring of burnt cheese at the edge that you can really chew on and absorb the full flavor the cheese has to offer.
amen, and the 4 worst ones are the 4 center pieces without crust.
Growing up my Dad was like Jim with the center pieces. But by God my Mom and i would damn near have a Flair/Funk I Quit match over the corners.
“The pizza bone” 😂😂😂
My hometown had a thin crust pizza joint that always cut them into squares
As hard as it is to say I'm going with Brian on this one, New York Pizza is famous...and I looked up Imo's online and it looks like gas station pizza. Lol.
Jim, I was with you until you said you didn't eat crust. Still back you as far as putting toppings on pizza but for goodness sake, eat the crust!
No. I'm with Jim.
I got to agree with mr cornette. The best pizza I’ve ever had was cut into squares by a place called pizza king here in Muncie Indiana. And yes they do sell them frozen and I think they will ship almost anywhere in the United States.
Ha ha ha ha! 😂 Brian saying give me a fucking break when he talks about "squares" ha ha ha! It's Focattia or a Sicilian Slice, those are soo good!
