Summary
A Midwesterner makes the bold declaration that "ranch can kind of go with everything," and Kareem couldn't agree more. The conversation quickly turns to Chicago pizza, where this straphanger drops a controversial truth bomb: deep dish is a sham, and thin crust tavern-style is the real Chicago pizza. Ranch belongs on that. They bond over ranch seasoning powder, with the rider suggesting restaurants should put Hidden Valley dehydrated ranch into shakers so customers can dust their pizza at will. The energy is pure Midwest. Kareem's on board. There's even applause from other riders who get it.
