We used to live right around the corner from the PB place on Houston, and when it opened, we were all superior and cynical, "Poor saps, like THAT will work." When we went back to the old neighborhood last summer after five years, there it was, still going. Made me happy.
When I was a kid - eight or so - I remember going into a restaurant with my parents and something I got came with anchovies (or one anchovy) and my mother warned me to be careful because it was very salty. I carefully tasted it and - yum! loved it! So much for "acquired tastes".

How do you feel about pineapple? Because I'm totally down with anchovies, and if you add pineapple, it's a little slice of heaven. Used to order it from Brewery City Pizza, in fact.
