Today I take on the pizza question of the century—Which reigns supreme, Chicago Deep Dish style pizza or New York Thin Crust style pizza? Each have their own fervent following, but I’ve developed recipes of my own (although I had help from Jeff Mauro from Food Network for the Deep Dish crust) to come to my own conclusions on the Pizza Battle of 2022. Check out the recipes below if you’d like to do a battle of your own!

I start this recipe with a high quality spiced tea, which creates a super flavorful foundation for the rest of the drink. I choose a cardamom cinnamon variety here, but any spiced tea will work! Next, I use the zest and juice from three different citrus fruits: lemons, for tang and acidity, oranges, for sweetness, and blood oranges, for color.

Today the tables have turned yet again! My culinary producer, Rachel Dolfi (@rachelanndolfi), asks me to make a French classic—Duck à l’Orange (recipe adapted from Daniel Gritzer’s Duck à l’Orange). Crispy, crunchy roast duck is paired with a sweet and lightly sour orange sauce, using bitter oranges.
