metzeh b'epeh

this is my go-to lazy dinner, I live by it and will die by it

I want to try making it the right way, but I either can’t find the cheese or forget to look for it

I made it once. Did the pecorino mixed with posta water so it gets saucy and sludgy before you toss the posta in. Wet pecorino tastes like stinky feet. No thanks.

I tried it with pecorino for the first time last night and it turned out like shit.
if you use parmigiano instead though, it's fucking incredible; no idea why so many people (mostly americans) treat those cheeses like they're interchangeable, in my experience they're massively different

There's a pizzeria near me that does a "cacio e pepe" slice, I should try it someday.

there's a bakery chain called COBS Bread that has a "cacio e pepe" focaccia loaf, it bangs.

there's only five COBS locations in the US but they're all over Leafistan - it's an offshoot of a Strayan company called Baker's Delight

looked it up to double check, there are 8 COBS in the US, and they're all in and around NYC

apparently kaka e pepe is meant to be made with pecorino. but i do not like

wops getting all gatekeepy about their cuisine is such loser shit honestly.
the only time it's ever valid is that parmigiano is wildly different from USian "parmesan"

might wanna recheck your geography there. only 1 is in NYC and it's way up in the Bronx

That pizza seems like it would be one-dimensional, taste-wise.
