I've never had it, so I can't comment, but is it that bad?

Please don't tell me it was Dane Cook, and if it was, you should be ashamed calling him a comedian!
Provel is a white processed cheese particularly popular in St. Louis cuisine, that is a combination of cheddar, Swiss, and provolone cheeses, and tastes nothing like any of them
I also heard that along with the provel cheese, their pizzas have a tomato sauce that is very sweet with a very thin cracker like crust. Supposedly very odd and not what you would expect a pizza to taste like.
