Cooking with the Master: Episode XX, Pizza

[Gore]

What follows is the transcript of “Cooking with the Master: Pizza, Episode XX”

Master: Ladies, Gentlemen, Goood Eeeevening! And welcome to "Cooking with the Master," a show about cooking. I ... am the Master! Joined by co-chef Smokey and our sous chef Gore, I will demonstrate revolutionary advances in BBQ science. Today, we will be making pizza.

I (Gore): Master, are you sure this is a good idea? I hardly think that pizza is considered BBQ. Where does KCBS stand on this?

Master: Pizza is traditionally made in wood-fired ovens and many Brethren make pizzas in their BBQs. Of course, we will begin in the traditional manner by making ribs.

I (Gore): Ribs, Master?

Master: Yes, Gore, we will prepare these in an Italian fashion, seasoning them with salt and pepper, basil, oregano, as Smokey demonstrates.



I (Gore): Smokey?

Master: Yes, now Smokey will place these in the Oval.



I (Gore): Master, I think I need a vacation. I thought we were making pizza and … I keep getting flashbacks when I see Ninja … errr, Smokey.

Master: All will be made clear in time. Can you pull the lever of the transmorgraphier, please. The inspection is today.

[sparks and smoke fly, and three heads appear in a puff of blue smoke]



Narrator: Why it’s Moose, Bigabyte and … Smokey!

[Audience claps and cheers]

I (Gore): Eak, a Ghost!

Ninja: Squeak!

[Gore runs out of the laboratory screaming in terror]

[Audience laughs]

Master: Smokey, put your head back on and quit torturing our assistant… Excuse me, inspectors, and welcome to our lab. I’m sure you’ll find that everything is in order. We’re currently making stuffed-crust pizza.

Moose: I believe the term “stuffed-crust pizza” is trademarked. You’re not allowed to say that here.

Bigabyte: Yes, I’ll put you down for a major infraction and 1000 points.

[Audience cheers]

Master: I think you’ll find our new stuff-in-the-crust pizza to be a major BBQ innovation and truly tasty.

Moose: We’re not about innovation. We’re about making the Brethren a friendlier, safer environment for BBQ.

Bigabyte: We want to make sure all threads are quality and on topic, and that the discussion remains clean.

Moose: We keep a tally of your infractions. Get enough points and you’ve earned a one-way trip to the Wood Pile.

Master: That would be terrible for our ratings.

Moose: Yes, but you could always rub some bacon on it.

Bigabyte: I’m sensing a low level of helpfulness within this episode and will add another 500 points.

[Audience cheers again]

Master: I think the level of unhelpfulness can be directly attributed to this inspection.

Bigabyte: Good point! That will be an additional 250 points for each inspector!

Master: We are just demonstrating our new pizza. As you are well aware, traditional cheese-stuffed crust lacks flavor.

Moose: I like cheese. Nachos and pizza both have cheese, 500 more points.

Bigabyte: Even SPAMfish nachos have cheese. That’ll be an additional 2000 points.

Master: Yes, of course, but we are developing revolutionary BBQ. My partner Smokey is just now finishing the ribs with a pizza sauce.



Moose: I can see you cannot distinguish a pizza from a rack of ribs.

[audience laughs]

Bigabyte: I can’t wait to get back to my body so I can mark this entire thread as “unhelpful.” I’m adding 10,000 points to my tally. That’s enough for a trip to the penalty box. See you there!

[Inspectors disappear in a puff of blue smoke]

I (Gore): Well, that went so much better than last time.

Master: Agreed, being banished to the Throwdown Forum was definitely worse.

I (Gore): I see Smokey has trimmed the ribs.



Master: Now, with the pizza dough rolled out, we can wrap the sauced ribs into the crust.



We add our sauce, cheese, and toppings of choice: pepperoni, sausage and sauteed mushrooms. This went into the Oval for about 5 minutes and we have our stuffed crust pizza!



and the crust is something to be savored, with just as much flavor as the rest of the slice!



I (Gore): Looks like that’s a wrap!

Smokey: Squeak!

Farking awesome, as always.

[Oldbob]

Fantastic Lookin Pizza !!

[deguerre]

I dunno. I Think Smoky needs more flare...

OK, that's the other entry I might vote for! The two I narrowed it down to both involved ribs specifically smoked for the pizzas.

[Big Bears BBQ]

Pretty cool .....

Linguiça contains rib meat.



Just kidding, needed a clever bookmak so I can read this later in case it doesn't get bumped.

[Groundhog66]

What an original idea, that is awesome.

[chicagokp]

destined to be a classic

[bigabyte]

Wait a minute. What am I doing in a Q-Talk thread that ISN'T about MOINK?

Oh well, I can at least help make this thread even more about me I suppose.

Oh, and that pizza (and stuffed crust) looks fantastic! Way too much quality for that wacko Throwdown forum.

Are you sure you should have even posted this on this site at all?

Sadly, I have no certificates to give you for this as there is no MOINK to be found anywhere. However, if you win, then you can get a Throwdown certificate, but you have to get that from Moose instead, so I'm not sure whether or not you think that's much better.

Tell Smokey I said hi!

Now that's innovation! I wish I had seen this thread before casting my TD vote... didn't realize the the crust had ribs IN it.

[Will work for bbq]

BRAVO!!



Brilliantly cast an instant classic, I love how Ninj.... I mean Smokey's head is detachable.

I'm glad you didn't.

[Bluesman]

Your brain is defiantly going to Smithsonian some day.....for sure..

[Gore]

Hey, what happened to the unhelpfulness?

[Phubar]

I've waited a couple of years to say this.....Gore,you need help.
