Their theory is that it makes you sweat more to cool you down. Which is utter hogwash to me!

Coffee and tea, I can understand. People still need caffeine to start their day. I don't think the "tea makes you sweat, which then cools you down" theory works (not for me, anyway). But that's a different thing than WDW saying, "Come visit Epcot for the Food & Wine Festival during the hottest months of the year in central FL - and if you eat 5 cheese-based dishes we'll give you another cheese-based dessert for free!" Anyone eating that cheddar bacon soup or the stinky melted cheese from the Alps booth in August should get more than a piece of cheesecake. They deserve a medal and some Immodium.

PDQ and Zaxby's are whatever, but Huey MaGoo's is really good.
Skyline Chili already has 5 locations in Florida. Flamingo Crossing will be their sixth.

I must have had a very off day! There was a place out of central NY called Tully's, it was a sports themed family restaurant, that had incredible chicken tends. Super juicy, very flavorful breading and full chicken tenderloins.. It put these places to shame. Back up there, I don't see these fast food places even existing.. Chicken tenders are such an odd thing to build a franchise around, not to mention a handful of franchises!
Come to think of it when I spent time in hot brutal weather Houston TX in July one year I ate literally burritos/tacos breakfast lunch and dinner doused in hot sauce. Sweating but every bite tasted so good. That's one thing in TX, there are 2 basic food groups, BBQ and Tacos.
The theory is actually correct; under the right circumstances of course.

Oh yeah and New Yorkers are full of themselves regarding the quality of their food, especially the pizza. "It'S ThE WaTeR!" No, it's you being smug about where you're from. As if a paper thin sheet of floppy pizza is hard to reproduce.
Apparently one hasn’t been to NYC and NJ to taste quality pizza.

There is very good pizza in NYC, but there's very good pizza elsewhere too. The best pizzas I've had were not in NYC.
NYC probably has the highest floor for pizza in the country (i.e. walking into a random place on the street will likely get you pretty good pizza in NYC), but that's not the same thing as having the best pizza.

The best pizza I have had in NYC was Sicilian.. Definitely not that thin crust garbage. If you need thin crust, you have awful dough. Having said that WNY pizza > NYC..
The water thing is probably not true at all.. Baked goods in general down here aren't as good most likely due to the climate, humidity and even the microorganisms in the air has a role.. Thats why the good sour dough is in San Francisco.. People down here also rave about publix subs, saying that boars head meats are somehow superior.. They're from NY, and no one I know back home preferred Boars head to smaller brand cold cuts.. Heck, Wegmans store brand were better than boar's head... Publix subs in general are just slightly better than subway.
Florida has some amazing food too though.. So much south american, cuban, puerto rican influences.. Orlando itself is a melting pot not unlike any major US city with a lot of culture, just a lot smaller.

NYC has its places of quality plenty of them but the worst crap to call pizza is what I’ve had in FL NC and SC.

I had pizza in georgia once.... It was pappa johns but somehow they managed to make it worse.
Atlanta has good BBQ and Korean. For GA pizza in the state where I’ve been it’s a joke compared to slices I’ve had in NJ and NYC. Disney formed a partnership with CiCi Pizza probably the worst pizza chain ever but if Flamingo has a location the poor CPs would enjoy eating cheap all u can eat trash pizza.

Antico in Atlanta is better than any pizza I've had in NYC -- it's not NY style pizza, though, it's Neapolitan. I'm sure some if it is personal preference for styles. Most of the best pizza I've ever eaten isn't sold by the slice.
There was also a pizza place at Ocean Isle Beach in NC that had some of the best pizza I've eaten anywhere, including Italy, but it's no longer there.

One has to go to a place like Antico which probably is good. Go to most small towns in NJ and the pizza is first rate and one doesn’t have to go to an advertised place like Antico advertising greatness with locals and celebrities. Mom
and Pop pizza in Jersey doesn’t even need to advertise.

I sometimes feel sorry for people who think pizza in NYC is the best anywhere (especially when they insinuate it's not even worth eating pizza in other places) because they're often denying themselves the chance to eat better pizza elsewhere.
Grabbing a slice of pizza from a random spot you're walking past is an NYC experience (and a good one), but the pizza is often nothing special.

Like ive already said.. Thin crust is reserved for terrible dough but when people think NYC they don't consider that there is also Sicilian available at some places.. Much much better but still the pizza across the state in WNY is definitely better..
