We will rave about the history, the spectacular winds, the majestic links golf, and even the challenge of driving on the left side of the road, but when it comes to the annual trip to the British Open, the food has to always be considered one negative aspect. First of all, it's not awful. But then again, it's not Italy, either. Somewhere in between? Maybe, though at least in this small hamlet along the North Sea, the choices are slim and the quality far lower than it has been at other towns in the rota. All that being said, you get by as best you can. Ethnic food is quite often the saving grace and if you enjoy Indian food, you're usually in luck anywhere in the UK. Unfortunately, Carnoustie isn't one of those spots, which helps explain how it is that Brett Quigley stumbled into the Titanic Pizza Co. at 104 High Street, not 500 yards from the fabled golf links on which the 136th British Open will be contested. "It's a great place. I think I'm going back tonight," said Quigley, who proudly announced that he had had lunch there just a few hours earlier. Like most everything in this corner of the world, it is a small and cozy restaurant, mostly a take-out place, but the pizza is pretty good and they serve burgers, garlic bread, and assorted dishes for vegetable lovers. "It's going to carry me through the week," said Quigley, frustrated in his attempts to find a good Indian restaurant. Apparently, Quigley and Steve Stricker must have been a big hit with the women making the pizzas that they were asked for autographs. No, they didn't sign photos; they were asked to write on a clean, white wall. "They insisted we do it," said Quigley, laughing. "So, we did." A short time later, Jerry Kelly made his way to the Titanic Pizza Co., noticed the signatures of Quigley and Stricker -- friends and colleagues with whom he had just played a final practice round -- and volunteered to add his. He did, too, and now a trend may have been started, because word is starting to get out that you can get a decent pizza and great service without straying too far from Carnoustie Golf Links.
