🍕 Deep Dish in LA? Reviewing Gino's East of Chicago 🏀
This week, Jacquis Neal (Host of Dropout's upcoming show Crowd Control) returns as we give our full review of Gino's East of Chicago in...not Chicago, but Sherman Oaks, California. From the deep dish pizza to the dessert (and the GIARDINIERA RANCH), we talk hits, misses, and whether this spot truly feels like home for two Chicagoans far from the Windy City.
We also visit the Calibration Station to hear about Jacquis's worst and best dining experiences, which include a Bob Evans dine-and-dash debacle and an unforgettable Disney breakfast.
