I was able to secure a new power cord for the laptop, which shouldn’t have been much of an issue since I work at the largest electronics chain in the country, so I am officially back. I’m sure you missed me, and I apologize for any tears shed during my absence. Sometimes time apart is the best thing. It will only make our relationship grow stronger.
During my absence, I had the privilege of eating Domino’s new Chocolate Lava Crunch Cake. While I usually steer completely clear of deserts from pizza joints, these things are pretty legit. If you’re a rich chocolate fan, I’m telling you.. You just might like these things. In fact, I guarantee it. I was a little hesitant to believe that chocolate “lava” pours out the center but it really does. Crazy.

In honor of these delicious cakes and yours truly having computer access once again, I am giving $15 Dominos gift cards to the first two people who can tell me where the first Domino’s pizza was located. No strings attached.
A little hint: My father actually used to work there.
Good luck!
PS. I will also send you a $100 gift card if you can personally replicate The Chocolate McGriddle Crunch Cake, and prove to me that you ate it. A McDonalds sausage, egg, and cheese McGriddle sandwiched between two Dominos Chocolate Lava Crunch Cakes. Observe….

Ypsilanti, Michigan!!(??)
Ypsilanti, Michigan and it opened as DomiNick’s!
WOW is all I can say to your concoction. Sorry I need more money than $100 to eat that lol.
YAY we missed you John! Welcome back!
I know Josie and IE for this already but here it is again: Ypsilanti, Michigan.
Correct. Ypsilanti, which is also my hometown, was the location of the first Domino’s pizza. It is actually about a 5 minute drive from where I sit right now. Josie and IndianapolisEater, e-mail your address to john@epicportions.com and I’ll get those out to you as soon as possible.
Oh man. I remember when it was Torminos! I also remember when I was on a flight with Tom Monahan (founder of dominos, the guy who nearly destroyed the Tigers/Red Wings). I had to use the bathroom after that guy. Wasn’t pretty and he definitely didn’t wash his hands. Ick.
What kind of proof would you like?
Normally I don’t do pork anything, but pay me up front and I’ll eat it with the quickness! $300 for 3. Puhh-lease, done and done.
dude, I’d pay you to make that for me to eat it. Looks like heaven!
You have yourself a deal. I will order two of these suckers, and harvest the insides of a mc.griddle to combine the two components into an abomination worth devouring for exactly 100 dollars. I need to know if you are legit though.
Is the $100 still up for grabs?
Just tried Dominoes chocolate cake. First off, it arrived very burnt, overcooked and dried out. Really? Really? Come on…..
Stay clear.
WOW!!! That Chocolate McGriddle is INTENSE! I want to see a picture of someone taking a bite of that with the chocolate lava ooooozing out… :p
