I had another quality Gluten-Free product.  That's twice in one week, folks!  A few days ago I wrote about drinking REAL Gluten-Free beer, well today, for lunch, I had real Gluten-Free PIZZA.  There is a local pizzeria actually making a gluten free pizza at their restaurant.  The restaurant is called New York, Pizza and Deli.  NYPD... get it?  And it has a real law enforcement theme.  Lots of law enforcement decorations, and even a private jail-cell room that the kids can eat in.

I gave the owner, Nick, the Third-Degree (get it!?) about his pizza-making process, and I am convinced it's safe, so I bought a pie, and brought it to a friend's place for lunch.

His is the only pizzeria that I've encountered that actually MAKES Gluten-Free pizza safely, within the confines of his restaurant, so I'm psyched.  I can buy gluten-free pizzas frozen, in my whole-foods store, but sometimes I want the real thing.  The pricing is fair, also, so if you're in central NY, and want a gluten-free pizza, click on the above link and give them a visit.

Here's what we do in show 122:

• Hello again
• Tune 1: Pretty Good Year by The Loved Ones
  
• Politics - again, can a woman or black man be elected?
• Reminder: NEVER HIT PAUSE :)
  
• Tune 2: Thank You Reggae by Jaya the Cat
• On Film: Before the Devil Knows You're Dead
  

Wow.  I've done it.  It's finally happened.  I drank a Gluten-Free beer that actually tasted like beer.  Real beer.  You know, as good as any craft-made micro-brew you're likely to find.  It's called Green's, and this particular beer was called their Discovery brew.

If you're interested in the details, most beer is made with malted Barley and/or Rye, and those grains contain gluten, but gluten-free beer is made with Sorghum and/or Buckwheat, which makes it safe for people like me, with Celiac Disease.

I've had other Gluten-Free beers in the past and they just didn't measure up (I shan't name names).  One of the GF beers that I had was a beer brewed for Passover, and actually contained Honey.  It just didn't work for me.  I mean... sweet beer?  Another of the beers was brewed to emulate the current crop of American beers.  You know, watery and flaccid.   You remember what Monthy Python said about American beer, right?  (scroll down or search for keyword "beer").  Well this other beer had that classic American beer vibe, with a mild bitter flavor, but it finished with the bitterness of burnt toast.  Not a pleasant, round bitter taste found in real beers.

In a nutshell, the Green's crushed those other two beers.  It wasn't even close.  This stuff is the bomb, and if you're a Celiac who enjoys beer, Green's gets a hearty recommendation from me.
