In just the past three years we have subjected vegetarian pizza, Caesar salad, barbecued ribs, chocolate cake, apple pies, pumpkin pies, chicken wings, Philly cheese steak sandwiches and glazed doughnuts to the test. Some are restaurant food and others come from supermarkets and specialty shops.
Some people feel that pizza without pepperoni is like Florida without citrus.
But, come Lent, we put four veggie pizzas that could be delivered to the test last March. Judges tried pizzas from Hungry Howies, Pizza Hut, Papa John's and Domino's. Hungry Howie's won, but not by much, with Pizza Hut and Papa John's tied for second just a few points behind. Some people like anchovies in their Caesar, and others think the salty fish can ruin it. Five members of The Ledger's Chow Line nibbled nine whole-meal salads from local restaurants last June.
