CHICAGO (CBS) — Social media star Jordan Howlett, known as Jordan the Stallion8, caused a ruckus after claiming that New York pizza was better than Chicago pizza without ever having tried pizza in Chicago.

"I said that New York pizza was better than Chicago pizza, because I couldn't imagine pizza tasting good with the sauce on top instead of in between," he said in a video posted to his social media accounts. "Someone from Chicago told me I'm not allowed to go and try Chicago pizza because of that statement, but don't tell me to do, alright? So I'm going to try it."
