Editor's note: Warning—nonpizza content follows. But it's for a great cause, so no grumbling, folks! —The Mgmt. It's that time of year again. As many of you who publish or read food blogs know, each year Pim Techamuanvivit of Chez Pim organizes her Menu for Hope campaign, in which food bloggers from around the globe come together to help those who are less fortunate. For those unfamiliar, Menu for Hope is an online charity event in which bloggers donate a prize that goes into a virtual raffle. Readers and others may then buy virtual raffle tickets for one or (hopefully)...
There's a new sidebar element over there on the right. You'll see a little "bucket" with collapsible/expandable views that show what's been Recently Commented On here—as well as the latest posts from A Hamburger Today and Serious Eats. If things are looking a little funky, you might want to clear your browser cache....
Hey folks. Just a heads-up to let you know that if anything is a bit borky this evening, it's because we've just rolled out a redesigned Slice. The new look incorporates elements of the old but does so in a crisp, clean new way. I think you'll find it refreshing. I know I do after all these years. The biggest changes are tabbed navigation above the main column and an easier-to-read list of pizza entries by location over in the right-hand column there. The new tabs simply break out existing material and make it easier to access. Those tabs include:...
Good morning, boys and ghouls, and HAPPY HALLOWEEN! I don't know if we've ever formally met, but I believe you have seen me milling about this weblog here and there. Adam is too lazy to give me a name, so I go by "Slice Dude." Today I am taking over this blog. I will appear throughout the day to SCARE THE LIVING S&*! OUT OF YOU. Or, perhaps, to simply amuse you....
OK. So I joined Facebook a couple months ago to see what it was all about. Yeah, I know, the college kids have been way into it for a while, and I kinda feel like an old fart on it, but I figured I'd start a Slice group on there for the hell of it. My thinking is that I'll use it to rally the troops, to raise a "Slice Army," if you will—a group of folks to call on for organized and impromptu pizza field trips. The Slice group is open to Facebook members at large, so if you're...
Dear Homeslices Who Have Ordered I [Slice] NY T-Shirts, Since many of you are asking—and because I should have updated you all earlier—I wanted to give a status report on the I [Slice] NY tees. I apologize for the delay and thank you for your patience on these. They were just shipped via UPS, and I expect them to arrive at Slice headquarters by the week's end. If they arrive by Friday (and I think they will), I'll be shipping them first thing Monday morning. Again, sorry for the delay on these. They should be in your hands shortly....
So the little server hiccups and lack of comments the last few days seem to have been resolved. For those of you interested, that was all part of moving this site over to a new server—the same server that Serious Eats is on. As you may or may not know, Slice was acquired by Serious Eats late last year, and I began working on SE full-time as managing editor while maintaining my role as editor of Slice. While Serious Eats has been pretty hands-off about messing with the Slice formula, I did anticipate some changes for this site—among them the...
So this is just a heads-up for you all: We're going to be moving Slice over to a new server in the wee hours of Tuesday morning. As the files and such move to their new home, there might be some hiccups. Please bear with us. If you experience any weirdness, it should resolve itself pretty quickly. Thanks!...
And here's Robyn Lee, my Serious Eats colleague (she recently joined the team) and foodblogger extraordinaire, wearing her I [Slice] NY shirt. If you've received your shirt and use Flickr, take a photo of yourself, upload to Flickr, and tag it "isliceny" For those still waiting on their shirts: The USPS picked up the last batch of outgoing shirts a couple hours ago. Expect them soon! Want one? Get yours here. Limited time only. You'll be unable to buy them after Friday evening....
If you've already ordered: I've been plugging away, stuffing envelopes with shirts, and sending them out in dribs and drabs as time allows. The last batch is getting picked up tomorrow. So your shirts should come soon. (Note: Some folks' orders, however, are on backorder. If that's you, check your email. I've sent you details.) If you haven't ordered a shirt but want one: A bunch of you expressed interest after I had already ordered and received the shirts. C'mon, people! Early bird, ya know? But there's good news for you slackers: I'm having a second batch done. DETAILS BELOW...
