Torrisi really does have the chicken parm sandwich of the Gods. For a more old-school chicken parm head to Defonte's on Third Ave. and 21st.

If we could somehow minimize or severely limit the judgmental comments I would really, really appreciate it. What else can I say? I'm trying, this is not easy, and it's great to have company on this sometimes difficult, sometimes satisfying journey.

Thanks for the comment, DCLSweetspot. I, too, hope your husband is feeling better. And yup, I've gotten right back on the horse. Onward and upward!

a couple of things: I love this video (thanks, Adam Kuban). Why?
Because it shows how passionate people are about pizza. There was not one trace of hostility on that construction site or in this conversation. We were all enjoying ourselves immensely. Maurizio and I have been having an on-going dialogue about pizza for almost ten years now. There was nothing staged here. Adam captured our conversation exactly as it went down. I can't wait for Donatella's pizzeria to open, so that we can all talk about it on Slice.

I just finished a plate full of Fette Sau barbecue for lunch. My plate featured pulled pork, pork ribs, boneless beef rib, and brisket. I thought the pork ribs were nicely smoked with a lovely charred exterior. They were mighty tasty. I also really liked the boneless beef rib, which was nicely marbled with an extremely blackened exterior. The brisket and pork were dry and dull. All in all, I stand by my previously stated opinion. Fette Sau's barbecue is solid and remarkably well-intentioned, but it is not transcendent Brooklyn cue in my humble opinion. I may go back for the pork belly and the pastrami (which I haven't had in a long time) and the pork cheeks (which I've never had,
thanks for the heads up, James Boo) and revise my opinion. But for now, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

in no particular order:
Patsy's in East Harlem
Joe's (Carmine St.)
Maffei Grandma slice
Sal and Carmine's
DiFara
Artichoke (Sicilian only)
Pizza Suprema
Little Luzzo's
This list is subject to change. I focused on Manhattan slices, DiFara being an obvious exception. I love this thread. I'm psyched to try Artichoke's Grandma slice.

Everybody, from Rodzilla to Sudenveri, is trying to help me, and I really appreciate all the counsel and support. In the end the key for me is portion control, but even that is hard when you're going to 8 or 10 places in a day like I'm doing for the Serious Eats book. So that's why I sometimes go to extremes in terms of eating very little in a given day, in reaction to those kinds of mega-eating days. Finally, I noticed yesterday, a Friday, that I succumb to some of my old eating compulsions the day after I weigh in on the site. I think I have to really watch what I eat on weekends, beginning on Friday, because I think to myself, "oh, I can just recover from the weekend by eating way less Monday thru Thursday in anticipation of my jumping on the scale on Fridays.

my wife made two of these tonight for our seder and dusted the baking pan with matzo meal. Worked like a charm. This is a great recipe. The cake is seriously delicious and according to my wife incredibly easy to make.

I'm afraid that we don't have all the answers to these questions here at Serious Eats World HQ. We are trying to find out if the amaretti cookies are flourless. Seems doubtful. This is what happens when I am the resident Passover food expert in the office. I never paid attention in Hebrew School, and it's been downhill in terms of religious observance ever since.

The kudos belong to everyone here at SE World HQ, our contributors from around the world, and our amazing community. I am frankly surprised and delighted by our nominations.

There's one more thing I would like to add. It's clear from the comments about the redesign that Serious Eats means an awful lot to many people in our community. Just know that it also means an awful lot to all of us here at World HQ. We are here for all of you, and we will get it right.

Yes, cheeseburglar, that was me at Motorino on Wednesday. We had two excellent pizzas that day, including the killer brussels sprouts pie. Please come over and introduce yourself next time. It's always good to meet serious eats community members.

I did have both a sticky bun and an iced cinnamon bun at Saint's Rest, which is owned by Jeff Phelps, whom was a student at Grinnell when I was. I loved the sticky bun, especially after it was warmed up for me. Jeff even introduced me to the woman who makes them.
