Reality Check: What's the New Pizza Hut Stuffed Crust Pan Pizza Like? We Try It

For the first time in years, I now am craving Pizza Hut. I seem to remember a stuffed crust of yore, but now can't recall if it was just in the regular pizza. All said and done, if I could eat pizza every day, forever, I could certainly die happy.

Brooklyn Bowl: Can Bowling Alley Food Be Finger-Lickin' Good?

Ed, I have to humbly disagree with your assessment of the pork sandwich. The fact that it exists is a blessing from the pork gods. I absolutely crave this sandwich! Really liked Brooklyn Bowl in general too. The manager is super nice (and cute to boot) and as long as you don't try to go on a Saturday night, it's fairly easy to get lanes.

Also, their beer selection rocks. Love Six Point!

Tasty $1 Treats in NYC

@gargupie: I totally agree with you, $1 sushi is scary. That's why I tried it for you! Nori's fish tasted fresh to me and I certainly felt fine after. Would def. go back to this place (all these places in fact).

Thanks for the other tips guys!

Beau Jo's: A Rocky Mountain Original

I mentioned Beau Jo's in a previous piece on Slice, but I will say it again--this place rocks! You can't compare it to NYC style at all. Personally (and the one mentioned here is right near where I grew up) I prefer the one in Idaho Springs. Something about steaming, soaking and pampering yourself makes having a hefty slice of this pie afterwords even better.

Man, now I am hungry.

What I Learned from the Brooklyn Kitchen's 3rd Annual Cupcake Cookoff

Haha! Nice post Erin. Good to see you too. I did NOT like the bacon cupcake pictured above, it tasted like they just used bacon for bacon without letting the awesomeness of the cupcake take part. Agree with the parsnip cupcake. It WAS good, but the idea isn't the most palpable.

And, there were not even 200 people there. I thought Confections of a Cupcake's carrot gold should have won. It was AMAZING.

I posted some more tasty pictures on my blog! http://linneacovington.com/food/2009/05/12/hello-cupcake-cupcake-contest-at-union-pool/

And of course, gave you a shout out!

@StBernard: That is bull. At my bar we are told to give free drinks. It's to show appreciation for good patrons.

In Videos: The Food Cart Song

This video ROCKS! I love the concept of finding out what food vendors are thinking, though I don't know if all their anecdotes were true. The song sure is catchy though.

Love your Cheetos dissection Robyn! One question, are these much bigger then Planter's cheese puffs?

Serious Cocktails: A Lousy Tipper Walks Into a Bar ...

As bartender at a dive bar in Brooklyn, I think a $1 tip per drink is perfect. But, if I go to PDT or another cocktail bar, those $15 drinks + time making them warrant a $3 tip.

And, for those of you that think $1 for a minute of a bartender's time is unfair, you have to realize most bartenders work 8 to 15 hour shifts, have to deal with drunks, clean up after drunks, stand all day, and usually only get paid about $15-$30 a shift.

As far as crap bartenders go, yeah, that's another story. But you have to give a look around you. Is the bar busy? Does he/she have to go deal with a rowdy customer? Change a keg? Wipe up a big spill? Customer service isn't easy folks!

@negociants : Why would you tip less when drinks are cheap? If you are paying $1 for a happy hour drink, you should def. be tipping per drink.

@Bridget: I love you. Everything thing you said is RIGHT ON!

Is the fish and chips at A Salt and Battery worth seeking out?

I think it's pretty good. I have been there a few times and found their fish and chips taste like classic fish and chips. You could also check out ChipShop in Brooklyn.

Skittles-Infused Vodka, Taste the Alcoholic Rainbow

I am pretty sure Skittle infused vodka will last for a long time since there isn't actual matter in the mixture. Also, freezing is always a good idea both for the taste and preservation.

New York-Style Pizza at Denver's Fuhgidabowdit

@ rckymtn1 --Let me make something clear, I LOVE DENVER! It's my home town I know there are tons of good eats there. You should hear me lament the lack of superior tacos here (though I am told to explore Queens and am keeping my fingers crossed it will change my mind) and Mexican food in general. Some places just do things better. And, if you will notice, my adoration for Beau Jo's has not wavered in the 6+ years I have lived in NYC.

About Linnea Covington

Website: http://www.linneacovington.com

Location: Brooklyn

About: I recently got my M.A. from the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism, so what better to do with a degree than write about food?! And, I LOVE everything about food (except for cheese, which taunts me but makes my tummy sad).

Favorite foods: all dumplings, pork tacos, avocados, dark chocolate, blueberries, bacon, green chili...this could go on forever.

Last bite on earth: A perfect avocado on a freshly made fried corn tortilla (still warm) with a splash of salt, thin layer of bacon, and a dash of Mexican crema. Mmmmm...
