Many of you are aware of Roland – prolific CU poster and predatory Bristol dancer. Some of you know that Roland has two great obsessions – Bono Pizza and White Castles.
So the question was posed – much like the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup – what if you took two great tastes – that (could) go great together and put them into Rolands stomach.
Dateline: Short North, Sunday October 19th – about 8 PM.
A certain CMH Gourmand walked in to Bono as Roland was finishing off a pizza (89% chance it was a #2).
I spoke with Peggy and explained what I had in mind – I think she was a bit taken aback. I showed Roland what I had (8 assorted White castles) and he flinched.
Roland was defeated by the Dagwood and humbled by the Double Beanie Burger – but tonight – Roland was going to give the devil his due. The Roland Pizza was going to happen.
The concept was then presented to Bill – Iron Chef style -“and the mystery ingredient for the Roland is……White Castles”. Like a true champ Bill thought it over, realized it was wrong and in spite of the fact that he was pretty sure this was an immoral culinary act he decided WTF and went for it.
The Roland was sampled by six impartial CUer’s including Roland. The verdict – good, maybe very good. The soul exception was a certain Brit with a genetic disdain for Midwestern meat products.
Making The Roland had no negative effect on Bill – but it did seem to mess up his hair.
Would Roland order the Roland again – no. Would I order it for him and make him eat it – yes. Suggested pairing with the Roland – Highland Estates Pepperoni infused Vodka.
Public Service Announcement:
Bono has a new Almond Crepe – it rocks Roland’s socks.
Stay tuned for more Iron Chef challenges at Bono – the next special pizza may be Antelope Summer Sausage.
