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.
