Nah they both make their own sauce. One guy has a huge mixer where he just makes a humongous vat of sauce daily. Like I said, to me its unique but as a big fan of pizza the only thing it really beats its frozen. On top of that I've never really been a red sauce fan either way. There is a regional chain here called Mellow Mushroom, and some other hole in the wall woodfire pizza places that have pizza without red sauce. They use an olive oil base instead and I prefer that when I can get it. For one it's much better for my acid reflux, and two it's just as moist without the tomato based sauce. I'm not really impressed with making your own mozzarella. Its the most mild tasting cheese out of the entire family and anyone can do it. It doesn't take very long to age. Plenty of places to pick up fresh real whole mozz around town. Pizza Hut def uses that low fat skimmed garbage. But the grease infused crust makes up for it. They use to make a pizza called the Big New Yorker, but that shit was super flimsy... it was still delicious though. Salted potatoes look good. I love skillet cooked baby potatoes. Lobster and Claim bakes is def a north eastern thing. You won't find that here, the gulf coast ecosystem is shrimp, crawfish, snow/dungeoness crab, red snapper, flounder, catfish, and oysters. I'd say shrimp is the most popular, steamed and fried. Oysters are a close second for their versatility. You can have them fried, raw, baked, and my favorite: char-grilled. Crawfish are the biggest cultural thing here though. Nothing like a crawfish boil. They're like mini lobsters, but you boil them similar to how you do cajun boiled peanuts. It was actually in that don'ts of the south video when they were pouring it all on that table with potatoes and corn. But when it comes down too it, most of it is fried just like everything in the south.
