This is not everyday pizza. It's not every-week pizza. It might not even be every-month, if you want to live to a reasonable age. But damn, is it good pizza. So good that it's worth a trip to Detroit just to taste it. So good that it's worth devoting months of time, weeks of research, and dozens and dozens of experiments to developing a recipe to duplicate it at home. So that's exactly what I did. Here's what I found.

As with scrambled eggs, there are two major types of omelette: the hearty, big-as-your-face, fluffy diner-style omelette, and its refined French cousin, the tender, pale-yellow variety, gently rolled like the world's most delicious cigar. And, as with scrambled eggs, the method by which the eggs are heated and stirred is the primary factor that determines what you end up with. Today I'm showing you my technique for diner-style omelettes.

This dish is basically an omelette mashed up with one of those layered crepe cakes, with scallions and soy sauce interleaved between each layer.

This is the potluck taco you've been waiting for.

You won't find a sweeter, more dessert-like Monkey Bread than this one. It's a tradition for us to have Monkey Bread every Christmas morning.
