I hear he's a Sox fan, not a Cubs fan

Drinks beer, Old Style perhaps?

I wonder if he likes a Chicago dog?

Chicago style pizza?

Yes, pizza from Aurelios in Homewood, IL., a very popular spot just 5 miles down the road from here. Arguably, it has the best pizza in da region. I have to try their Pope-A-Roni pizza next time I'm there.

Lady: Are you the police?
Elwood Blues: No, ma'am, we're musicians ... We're on a mission from God.

When you try the Pope-A-Roni, let is know. Take a pic of the pizza if you remember.

The Pope’s Suburban Chicago Roots: ‘It Gives Us Hope for the Future’

Late Friday morning, I drove to a quiet neighborhood in suburban Chicago and stopped in front of the home of the Pope’s brother, John Prevost.

He probably calls soda "pop" like I do, as a native midwesterner.

I had some hope that cardinal Pizzabala would be elected pope, choose the name pope John XXIV, and be known as Papa John. Instead we get Chicago style pizza. I guess that's a fair trade.

The best Chicago popabilia I've seen this week is a T-shirt with the pope holding a hot dog in one hand and a stone tablet in the other. The tablet reads:

Thou shalt not
put ketchup
on thy hot dog.


EDIT: a word of explanation for those not familiar with THE Chicago Hot Dog:
A proper Chicago dog is an all-beef frankfurter (such as Vienna Beef) in a poppy seed bun, topped with yellow mustard, neon-green sweet pickle relish, chopped white onion, tomato slices, a dill pickle spear, pickled sport peppers and celery salt, but NEVER ketchup.

I know someone whose husband looks like Pope Leo in a picture of him.

I know someone whose husband looks like Pope Leo in a picture of him.

In a certain picture, the Pope reminds me of someone who went to high school with me, lol.

However, that's only the "mature" version of the Pope. The younger version does not.

With all due respect, as an Australian, I'd rather have a meat pie. Apparently Pope Leo has been here a few times, so I suppose he can try a meat pie with peas next time and tomato sauce (not ketchup).

The Sydney Morning Herald - "That includes at least four known visits to Australia, where he developed a great love of Tim Tams and a hatred of Vegemite. Sydney Archbishop Anthony Fisher said it was “very likely” the newly elected Pope would visit Australia".2 days ago

It seems he hates vegemite which is our version of Marmite. I suppose he'd echo Tommy Cooper's joke about Marmite - "I entered a competition and won a year's supply of Marmite (Vegemite)! One jar!"

Post it. I couldn’t find it.

Aurelios is packed now. It may take a month before a parking spot is open.

But I did find a photo of the Pope-A-Roni pizza.
