This reminds me of Neil & Otto’s Med Bread.
Neil & Otto’s was a pizza place located in the basement of a church just off campus from my alma mater. It was a strange location, but it was good. So good it was, dare I say, HOLY. I can probably attribute one-third of my Freshman Fifteen Twenty to this place - this dish in particular.
Apparently, the full restaurant name was ‘Neil & Otto’s Pizza Cellar’ - I did not know that. Also, apparently it has since been bought out by a man named Neri who wants to start serving alkie-holic bevies…in the basement…of a church. Not appropriate.
Side note: I’m not actually positive the name of this dish is Med Bread; I’m pretty sure that’s the name of a pizza from American Flatbread, another pizza place which holds strong ties to my college memories. If you’ve never been to an American Flatbread, I highly recommend you do. It serves ‘all natural pizza baked in a primitive wood-fired earthen oven.’ The ingredients are locally harvested, fresh ingredients. Their weekly specials are typically specific to each franchise’s geographical location and the season it is served. I had a chance to go the original American Flatbread in Waitsfield, VT a couple weekends ago. I STUFFFFFED my face.
That was a long PIZZA rant, and now I am seriously craving Flatbread. Luckily, there is an American Flatbread essentially down the street from where I work. I swear I can’t get away from this place, but I don’t have a problem with that.
