A BIRTHDAY PIZZA FOR A FRIEND
It was 2021, and while the world was still figuring itself out, Chef Miriam was doing what she does best — baking in Brooklyn and making magic happen. That's when her ride-or-die, Shealyn Coniglio, hit her with a birthday request: "Make me a pizza."
Now, if you know Chef, you know she doesn't just make anything. She creates. So she heard that request and immediately started designing.
And if you know Shealyn? Oh, you already know. This woman is fiercely, unapologetically devoted to three things in life — hot dogs, tacos, hamburgers, pizza, the Dodgers, and honestly, living her absolute best life. So Chef did what any badass best friend would do and built her something legendary: a burger pizza. The Italian Big Mac was born.
But here's where the story gets even better. During the pandemic, Chef had taken over a Brooklyn restaurant called Number 07. The place had been shut down for a while, but what it did have was a glorious, almost absurd surplus of pickles. And Chef Miriam is not the type to let good pickles go to waste. Those pickles needed a home — and they found one, proudly stacked on top of the Italian Big Mac.
When Chef rolled up to that birthday party and pulled out a pizza she had custom designed just for Shealyn, while everyone else was happily crushing their classic cheese and sauce — Shea's jaw hit the floor. Because that's what chefs do for their friends.
