Openings: Vertuccio's, a New Brick-Oven Pizzeria in Williamsburg

That's been there a while, open at least a month. I thought about going there last weekend but then I remembered I didn't have any cash so I went home.

Michael Pollan on Health Care and the Food System

@Meat guy: Paul Prudhomme had a gastric bypass - he cheated. And yes, your veg friend could definitely have those problems eating a bad vegetarian diet - there are many ways to eat non-meat foods that are not exactly healthy. Crisco is vegetarian.

Video: One Minute Apple Pie

@yayfood I thought that too, and about how much they worked it -- gluten in pie crust = bad.

I'm with hungrychristel. I want to eat those bunnies.

Papa John Gets Camaro Back; Chain Offers Free Pizza to Camaro Owners Today

Is the right hand pic in front of his current house? I need to start a pizza chain if it is.

Brooklyn Water Bagels in Delray Beach, Florida

THE BEST bagels in South Florida can be found at Sage Bagels on Hallandale Beach Blvd in Hollywood. There I said it without having even tried this 'Brooklyn' joint's wares. Sage rivals the best NYC bagel IMHO.

Goin' Mobile: In Which I Finally Get My Ass Out to Pizza Moto at the Brooklyn Flea

Nice backdrop on the upskirt -- I don't recall any here on slice that had trees framing the slice.

A Return Visit to Royal Tavern, the Best and Worst Hamburger I Ate in Philadelphia

I'll be in Philly on Friday at S 9th and Reed, and will make it a point to check this burger out. The photos make me wish I was eating right now.

How to Make Apricot Jam from Homesick Texan

That's a funny title. Here's my recipe for apricot jam from a homesick Texan:

20 apricots
2 lbs sugar
1 lemon
1 homesick Texan
1 wood chipper

The method is pretty self-explanatory.

Photo of the Day: Big Pizza, Little Kid

That's the dimensional opposite of the Jamba flatbread from yesterday. How many calories in that bad boy?

This Weekend in the 'New York Times'

@Adam: You got it, that's exactly why they made the credit read the way it did -- good call.

I am on twitter as @foodstylistny and I follow @slice!

This Weekend in the 'New York Times'

It was actually all real food. The only reason NYTimes credited the photographer with a photo illustration instead of just photo was because they have tougher-than-average standards about even minor photo manipulation. We were tempted and did eat the fried chicken - I got it from BonBon chicken on Chambers Street.

Turn Your Garage Door Into a Giant Rotisserie

This almost makes me want to move to the suburbs and put one of these up. Almost.

This Weekend in the 'New York Times'

I, however, have no problem tooting my own horn. Nice food styling on that cover. I wonder who did it?

Dear Slice: On the Topsy Turvy Realm of Pizza Rankings

I love that Sesame Street segment! I have it as a ringtone on my cell phone. I'm not kidding.

Serious Reads: Anne Mendelson’s Milk

"most of us know virtually nothing about it—where it originated,"... Yeah, it's an udder mystery.

Liquid Pizza in a Bulbous Test Tube

Enough with the molecular gastronomy already. What started out as a new, novel, and interesting approach to food has made some food items sound like what they would resemble coming back up after a night of heavy drinking. I prefer my pizza constructed to perfection, thank you!

I Don't Even Know What This Means

It's Brunispeak. I remember The Bruni Digest back in the day, Jules, the author, would tear through a statement like that with photo illustrations to boot.

Sweet Green's Sweetflow Mobile, a Frozen Yogurt Truck in D.C.

"Yet another reason why this isn't your grandpa's ice cream truck: it's built to run without a generator and only dispenses 100% biodegradable spoons." Yet it still runs on fossil fuel? Huh.

A Novel Way to Deliver Pizza in Paris

They can try it in NY, but I'll bring a dart gun and my own counterfeit balloon to pizza-jack your order.

Individual-Size, Slice-Accompanying Pizza Wine in Greenpoint

3 disparate comments:
1. Hell, the $.99 store next door has off-brand 2 liters of soda for the low low price of $.99. Cheaper per ounce than wine or beer!
2. Are they implying that the wine is perfectly paired for pizza? I'll have to try that for myself.
3. I hope in the remake of Saturday Night Fever, the opening scene includes the classic two slices made into a sandwich accompanied, in a modern take, by a small bottle of pizza wine.

Nice food styling in that Strawberry Charlotte article - I wonder who ever was the stylist?

The Term 'Housemade' Is the New 'Homemade'

@sunshine6: some crazy restaurateurs live in their restaurants, or at least in the same building. No thanks.

I seem to recall our business law instructor at the CIA explaining that homemade could not be used on restaurant menus because the products were not made in a person's home. Housemade or house-made was acceptable though. I've never liked either. And the sign proclaiming 'housemade mayo'? Big whoop. How hard is that? Were the bread crumbs housemade as well?

Judah Friedlander Hates St. Louis-style Pizza

Friedlander hits it right on the head with this one -- provel is awful and has no place on pizza. In fact, I think I've said that before on this blog. Good to hear someone with some sense put it out there.

@Adam: send pizzaexpert's comments to /dev/null in the future. You're the moderator after all!
