  1. Are Italy, or Italian Americans Schrodinger's cats? If you ask people outside the US what Americans eat, it would be burgers, fried chicken, and pizza, in no particular order. Pizza is everywhere in the US and exists as a culinary group of niche types already. The niche Adam has chosen in pizza - the elevated basic - leaves a lot of space to provide different basic styles. His product development shows him doing just that. After zeroing in on the Tavern style, which fits better with their equipment in their first location, there's room to evolve other styles, too. Wishing him and Joe all the best.

  2. You do your midlife crisis your way. You have your problems. Everyone does because your problems reflect your priorities in life. Therefore, you do you.

  3. Adam is investing in a restaurant, which has Joe as the senior partner. But hey, let's not let the truth ruin a good story, right?

  4. Never let perfect be the enemy of good. And counting in tens is easier. Just a thought.

  5. Did it occur to you that food businesses not doing home delivery would have had trouble during Covid? If you rely on footfall alone in such times then you're screwed.

  6. Ahh... Yeah, your channel name is particularly apt. This comment tells us far more about you than Adam or his new venture.

  7. Hypoglycaemic?

  8. Adam, after getting off the YouTube Uber-like chain gang, might not want to commit full-time to an eponymous chain. He has more room to do as he said, what he is good at, when he works with a partner. The best things in life are shared. And he can also do other things at the same time. Heterogeneity, or diversity in life, is much more sustainable and enjoyable. I think he's right not to follow the stereotypical route. I think he's content not to be a brand. Good for him.

  9. Man, my heart sang when you talked about Joe's doughnut dough having no sugar, and they look beautiful. Since the pizza dough is the love child of that process, it should be good after all the love you put into it. Crispy and chewy? Yum! Is shipping doughnuts overnight a thing?

  10. The mother doughnut dough is made the day before and rested in the fridge, before the doughnuts are cooked. Much like French boulangerie Baguettes.

  11. You're over-egging the pudding. Adam has a business, and the team helps him decide what he can do with his money. He's not running it day to day. And not all investment has to be efficient. Indeed, it's recommended that 5% of one's portfolio can be used for speculative investments. That's what Prof G host Professor Scott Galloway does, and he became a multimillionaire from poverty. I'm sure Adam is not taking an unwise risk.

  12. You should be asking Joe as he's the owner. Adam is the product development chef and investor.

  13. Lol. The idea of using a starter dough to make the pizza dough is anything but cheap. Anything that takes more time and effort to get right is never cheap. You might not like the end result, as you have your preferences, right? But, you might also end loving it too. So, at least give yourself space to be surprised.
