Friday night at the Angelo's typically means stepping out to the local brewpub - Coopersmith's for a beer and some relatively healthy fare.
Last night I enjoyed a wood-fired pizza (they do this great thing with crushed peppercorns in the crust) but after 3 pieces, I was ready to pack it up. Tyler (the server) brought me an over sized Styrofoam box (plastic #5) to serve as my doggie bag.
A simple piece of tinfoil would have sufficed and it makes me wonder why restaurants still insist on utilizing environmental evils such as these take out boxes. Is it really necessary to encase your half a pizza in a bomb-proof clamshell box? But rather than bemoan the restaurant take-out industry, I will learn to ask for tin foil when it's necessary ... or weigh the cost of leaving those slices behind rather than add to my trash pile with a hard-to-recycle item.
After all this pondering ... I forgot the box on the table, anyway.
