Growing up, my grandparents enjoyed preparing pork barbecue a few times every year at their home. Whenever they barbecued, they would invite several friends and other family members over. To serve with the pork meat, my grandmother always prepared several mouthwatering side dishes such as potato salad and baked beans. Because they slow cooked the meat for hours, they were always extremely tired when the fun festivities were complete. Nowadays, my family skips the hassle of cooking pork barbecue themselves. Instead, they enjoy this delicious entree at a favorite local restaurant. On this blog, you will discover the best side dishes to order with a pork barbecue meal at a restaurant. Enjoy!

Pros And Cons Of Ordering Thick-Crust Pizza
Roland Adams
If you're a true lover of pizza, you might be anxious to sample as many styles of pie as you can over the course of your life. Perhaps you live in a region that is known in pizza circles for its thin-crust pizza; this can make you highly accustomed to this variety, but perhaps not fully acquainted with other types. If you notice thick-crust pizza on a pizza restaurant's menu and decide that it's time to take the plunge, here are some pros and cons that you might wish to weigh before you place your order.
Pro: Easier To Eat On The Go
Pizza isn't just something that you enjoy in restaurants and in your home. Many people grab a slice or two when they're on the go. If you plan to walk or drive your car while eating pizza, thick-crust slices are handy. The thickness of the crust gives more rigidity to each slice, which can allow it to keep its shape while you eat it. Conversely, thin-crust pizza can sag and fall onto your clothing if you try to eat it while walking.
Con: It's Less Of The Good Stuff
There's no disputing that many pizza restaurants offer tasty dough, but it's probably the toppings on your pizza that get your heart racing. When you order a thick-crust pizza, you'll be eating more crust than toppings with each bite. Although this breakdown works well for many crust lovers, it may not be your ultimate scenario if you're all about the toppings.
Pro: It's Satisfying
If you only have time to eat a slice or two, you'll often notice that thick-crust pizza makes you feel satisfied and full. A slice or two of thin-crust pizza might be tasty but could leave you not feeling particularly satiated. By the time you eat a couple slices of pizza with a thick crust, however, you'll definitely feel full.
Con: It May Have More Calories
Although the exact caloric value of a slice of pizza depends on many factors, you may find that a thick-crust pizza has more calories than a pizza with similar toppings but with a thin crust. Dough is high in calories, which means that even if you choose toppings that are lighter — perhaps you load up on veggies such as peppers, onions, and mushrooms and don't get too much cheese — your slice may be heavy in calories because of the thick crust.
Keep this information in mind as you check out the menu at your local pizza restaurant.
