All the President's Men

On 09/09/09 we watched All the President's Men (1976). For dinner: Deep Throat's Deep Dish Pizza!

All the President's Men stars Dustin Hoffman and Robert Redford as Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward (respectively), two relatively young investigative reporters working for the Washington Post in the mid-1970s. Their names have become perhaps the two most famous names in newspaper journalism for breaking the story of the Watergate scandal in the mid-1970s and doing all the legwork that eventually led to the resignation of Richard Nixon.

One interesting aside: In the film the reporters' boss refers to them as "Woodstein". Could this be one of the first documented occurrences of a "couple nickname" a la Bennifer?

The pizza was some of the best I've made at home. I stopped by our local pizzeria, Frank's, in East Falls to buy fresh raw dough--1.25 lbs for $1.50! It was definitely worth the extra trip. Two recipe tweaks: we used a 9" round cake pan rather than a 12" deep dish pizza pan and only baked it for 25 minutes. Perfecto!
