That was actually fanfiction written by a third party about him and gross poster Tambourine Man, which makes it worse, imo. Don't look it up, and definitely dont read it. If you do, you will regret it, I promise.

Oh goodness, I'm sorry, I thought he had written it himself! And yeah, that's why I spoiled the grisliest details. I didn't think it would be fair to suddenly blast people with that kind of... I don't know what word to use for it.

I feel bad for not being sure, but is this a scam? No, say, 9" key lime pie in the world would be worth that by itself.

Serving pizza “al taglio,” or cut pizza, the focus is on the toppings and the airy focaccia-like crust.

I don't know about you but I am definitely willing to pay $100+ for the genius who finally solved the problem of having to tear a whole pizza into manageable portions with your bare hands. And focusing on both the crust and the things that go on top of the crust? Brilliant!

it depends on what you mean by "scam" but in my opinion, touting the hell out of the superiority of your product so that you can charge a phenomenal markup isn't really a scam. the goods you receive are as advertised. it's the same reason why real luxury purses are like $800 and the knockoff is like $20 and you need to be an expert to tell the difference sometimes - not that the knockoff is a strictly inferior product, but that the legit product has a massive price because exclusivity and an unreachable price point is the purpose of consuming the good. it's the frozen food version of a VIP room

Except when you go to a supermarket and buy that $60 Junior's cheesecake for $9, you're not getting a knockoff cheesecake, and you don't need to be an expert to tell it's the same cheesecake.
