And by worst, I mean the least healthy. Yahoo! recently named their worst pizza and #1 for the third straight year is the Uno Chicago Grill Chicago Classic Deep Dish Pizza. Men's Health also had it as the worst pizza, citing the fact that "Downing this "personal" pizza is equivalent to eating 18 slices of Domino's Crunchy Thin Crust cheese pizza." Want something more galling than that? Yahoo writes:

Uno knowingly sells an individual pizza that actually has three servings' worth of calories, fat, sodium, and carbs. This one individual pizza has more calories than you should eat in a day and more than two days' worth of sodium. (That's as much salt as you'll find in 27 small bags of Frito Lays Potato Chips!)

I was going to post a picture of the pie but I don't want it on my site. It looks like a pizza with herpes. Thankfully, I haven't been to an Uno in about, oh, a lifetime so I think I'm OK. Yahoo! also mentioned Red Lobster's Lobster Pizza which isn't healthy and doesn't sound all that appealing. I love pizza and love lobster but I can't say I've ever thought of combining the two. Somewhat surprisingly, Chuck E. Cheese has the healthiest individual pizza and Pizza Hut has the best meat lovers.

Of course, all of this is nice but I think most people don't often frequent these chains unless they are just plain lazy. Most people have their own local place. Growing up, Sal's Just Pizza in North Andover was the king (and probably my favorite pizza of all time) while in Los Angeles, I frequent NY Pizza & Pasta, Vito's, and Village Pizza.

I'm probably the last person who should be blogging about food since I have one of the worst diets out there and am overweight but hey, that makes me like most Americans so maybe it's time to speak to the People!

Anyway, I've been trying to eat better but I ate like crap at my last job and often went to Wendy's and I decided to have a little cheat day yesterday and check out Mickey D's latest menu offering. How did they fare?

The Wendy's new chicken wings were a major disappointment. The wings tasted like lousy chicken fingers that were dipped in sub-par sauces. If you are really dying for Asian chicken wings or buffalo wings, you're better off just getting McNuggets and dipping them in store bought sauces. Wendy's still has THE best fast food chicken sandwich with their spicy chicken sandwich but I can't see these new wings lasting on the menu for very long.

McDonald's, on the other hand, has hit a home run. The Angus Third Pounder is probably the best thing on their menu besides their addictive McNuggets. I got the Swiss and Mushroom burger (HOLD THE MAYO!) and it was like something you get from an actual restaurant. I am definitely a fan. Unfortunately, I'm also trying to get in shape so it's a forbidden love for now.
