If the Food Bandits' love for pizza were to be expressed in an SAT question, it would be:

Q: Pizza is to the Food Bandits what _____________ is to elephants.

A: Oxygen. Another acceptable answer would be peanuts.

Both responses show just how important pizza is to John Cactus, Jay Bottle and Foodito Bandito. So it was with great enthusiasm that the trio journeyed to the LC Pavilion to take part in Slice of Columbus 2009. But they did more than just take part in the annual event. They made it a mission to try at least one slice from each of the 18 different participating restaurants.

Sure, there are "official" Slice awards given out—Romeo's won the People's Choice Award, Papa Joe's won the Judges' Award, and Donatos won the Wags and Ellliot Award—but the Bandits' coverage is the most comprehensive you'll find anywhere.
