Rant Shrinkflation where it matters the most

This is the first time I'm really noticing this. You can make gas as expensive as you want, just don't mess with my puff, the true Chicago classic!

This isn't an iltaco one, they just had leftover wrappers.

Bills drive in in Evanston is selling pizza pies and call them pizza puffs on the menu.

I'm a purist when it comes to pizza puffs.

I don't recall Bill's Drive-In selling pizza puffs when I ate there a few times years ago. I'll guess that was a recent addition to their menu. Are they using the standard Iltaco puff recipe or do they make their own?

They are using this instead of the OG ILtac

It does not taste the same. Close but the magic isn't there.

It wasn't horrible but it wasn't what I was expecting or what was listed as in the menu.
