rian Hernandez, PMQ’s test chef, coordinator of the U.S. Pizza Team and

September 23, 2021 All of the best journeys start unexpectedly: Howard the Duck, Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure, and, of course, Star Wars. Driving home today, I was listening to some random talk radio show and heard a story about an unnamed famous person who was challenged to a bet: He simply had to “go vegan” for a month, and a certain charity would get a donation. Unfortunately, he turned it down, but I can’t stop thinking about it. Would I do that? Could I do that?
started and stay tuned to see how it ends! October 27, 2021 This vegan thing is still on my mind. I’m gonna do it. But I think 30 days is probably not enough time to see any major change. Let’s do three months! January through March 2022. I’ve picked these dates based on the mere fact that I want to eat a nice, robust Christmas dinner before I try this. Also, the U.S. Pizza Team is returning to the World Pizza Championship in Parma, Italy, on April 1. I know I won’t be able to resist all the local cuisine, and I don’t want to set myself up for failure. But I would be remiss if I didn’t hold fast to the green guns as best I could. Italy has plenty of delicious vegan options, BUT THE MEAT!!!
