Modernist Pizza has arrived!

At the beginning of 2019 Stephanie Swane from Modernist Cuisine reached out to have me help plan their Chicago leg of dining for this book. It was a privilege to spend a week with Nathan Myhrvold & Stephanie eating at more than 20 Chicagoland pizzerias whilst Duncan photographed the pizzas, and Sam interviewed the chefs about ingredients and techniques.

I'm thrilled to have been a part of the Chicago section and mentioned in the Pizza Tour section this book. If you're a pizza enthusiast, you'll be amazed at the fastidious attention to details, story, and photography.

Happy to announce that we have been running tours again using a careful "out of the box" process! We teamed up with M&M Limousine Service to deliver the Carry-Out Curbside Pizza Tour. Limo picks you up from your home, YouTube videos guide you along the way, and the pizzerias bring the pies to the limo. The vehicles are disinfected prior to use and you have zero contact along the way. We have run more than 20 of them so far and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Please email Jon at [email protected] if you are interested and we will give your quarantined family a memorable delicious experience!
