Commander Cody you say? Why indeed I do. I'll tell you why in a bit. First it was road tripping time today.
What better than some Gearjammin?
So it has been one of our longer lulls in this here little ole blog. Covid. Vacations. Life,et al. Today the drought ended with some driving.
An early fall day with beautiful weather. My favorite time of the year. What better way to take a drive and eat some zza!
We got in the Camaro and drove north as is our usual compass point.
Ended up in Bellvue IA today. I love this overlook of the Mississippi River. The view never gets old.
While we don't drive a Lincoln. The Camaro likes to be driven. And HWY 52 south out of Bellvue has some brand new fresh asphalt. That road is some really nice curves for almost 20 miles.
We hadn't ventured forth for pizza in it seems one million years to me. So let's get on with it.
Today's pizza joint visit was to Clinton Iowa.
I must confess. The waitress took the menu away before I had a chance to get any more pics.
Back Shop Pizza is all kinds of crazy in a good way. Car culture motif. Party rooms. A big back room arcade.
And well Joliet Jake and Elwood were there too.
Back Shop has a certain industrial vibe to it and I can imagine how loud it could get full of kids and all those arcade games going. Pretty cool never the less.
So having been in the car for a bit. I needed the breakroom . We were there around 3 pm. So the bathroom had been through the noon rush and honestly needed some cleaning.
A quick Camaro song for my wife. She loves that car.
Okay. How was the zaa you ask? First off. We have been doing this blog for going on five years now. The kid is now fifteen and still gravitates toward chicken of some sort most of the time.
Today was our first taste of Chicken George style chicken. As near as I can tell. Chicken George is chicken tenderloin strips with an almost funnel cake type batter. The kid would have ate 5 pounds if we had kept on ordering them. They were that good. I had a couple small pieces. Sinful comes to mind.
Last,but yada yada. The pizza. We ordered a large sausage and pepperoni regular crust.
So how was it? I give the sausage a 9. The sauce was nice and sweet. Plenty of cheese. Now to the nits.
The toppings were pretty skimpy and had I known would have doubled the sausage. And the sausage is the star of this pizza. The crust was a little too chewy for me. I prefer a thin crust. The wife loved the crust. And love makes the world go round eh?
We will certainly probably visit again just for the Chicken George. And there is a whole area wide Chicken George phenom in the greater Clinton Ia, Sterling n Rock Falls Illinois metro. That would be a great Pizza blog post in and of itself. We will def try and do that at some point too.
Anyways. It felt good just to get out. Enjoy this fall weather. Take a drive . And eat pizza.
And a little Willie to end this post.
