Joey Chestnut Wins Pizza-Eating Competition
Joey Chestnut, the reigning hot-dog-eating champ, handily crossed over to pizza earlier today in Times Square, eating 45 slices in 10 minutes. That's roughly 1.7 pizzas a minute. According to the New York Daily News, "He folded the slices—very quickly—and shoved them into his mouth. He jumped around some, to help them go down the hatch, or knocked back water from paper cups. He never appeared to chew. The slices were the typical cheese and tomato sauce variety, dished from a 16-inch pie carved into eight wedges."...Slice Pizza Club No. 8: The Report
Slice reader Conduit Design Group just asked how Pizza Club No. 8 went. So, without further delay, the quick rundown. Numero Ocho was scheduled for this past Sunday at Coney Island. Unfortunately, so was a crappy nor'easter. Girl Slice and I made our way to Totonno's anyway, just in case any stalwart readers made the trip. Nobody did. Oh well. It turned into a soggy private date for just us two. We knew the Cyclone would be closed, but we exited at the Surf Avenue end of the station (above) because we had to meet any prospective attendees at noon...Judging in the America's Plate Pizza Competition
The following events took place last Tuesday, March 6, at the Javits Center in Manhattan, during the New York Pizza Show. I was on hand to judge in PMQ magazine's America's Plate pizza competition. Contestants came from Canada, Luxembourg, France, Spain, Italy, Australia, and the U.S. I had wanted to live-blog the proceedings, but I experienced technical difficulties early in the day. So, here is the tape-delayed version of last week's events. 9:31 a.m.: I enter the Javits Center. It's my first time here. Lots of tall glass and concrete. Doesn't seem very inspiring for a building that in many...'The Gold Pizza'
Contestant No. 3: 'The Gold Pizza', blogged to Slice from the Flickr photostream of Slice Just one of many pizzas I ate today at the New York Pizza Show. Sorry I didn't blog from it as promised. The Javits Center's wifi sucked and wouldn't let me on after I paid for access. Report coming ......Blogging from New York Pizza Show Today, Possibly
I'm heading over to the Javits Center, a big-ass convention center in Manhattan, to serve as a pizza judge in PMQ magazine's "America's Plate Competition," a pizza-off among several international pizzaioli—among others, contenders will include Americans, Chinese, Canadians, Luxembourgers, Italians, and Aussies (who, oddly enough, are the defending champs two years running). The contest is part of the New York Pizza Show, which has been going on since Sunday and ends today. While I'm there, I hope to get some pix, see some pizza sights, and possibly blog about it if there's wifi in there. (I'm assuming there's wifi...Gothamist Judges Long Island Pizza
IMG_6203.jpg, blogged to Slice from the Flickr photostream of gothamistllc Gothamist editor-at-large and friend of Slice Tien Mao served as judge last Saturday at the Best of Long Island Pizza contest. Five Long Island–based pizzerias competed in each of five categories: regular, marinara, Sicilian, grandma, and specialty. In Mr. Mao's words: Our favorites from the day were Paradiso for regular pizza, Prince Umberto's in Sicilian, Paradiso's in marinara, Antino's in grandma, and Paradiso's in the specialty pizza. The winners for best pizza were Prince Umberto's for best regular and Sicilian, Paradiso for best marinara, Antino's for best grandma, and...Celebrating National Pizza Month
Speaking of our birthday, how perfect is it that it falls in October, which, many of you know, is National Pizza Month. Yeah, it seems like a gimmick cooked up by the major chains to sell more pies, but there's at least one individual taking this monthlong celebration to heart in the most sincere of ways. Sean Taylor (with friends, above) is literally making this October into 31 days of pizza. In his own words: In order to observe this month "the right way," I intend to eat at least a slice of pizza a day. I hope to...Sunday: Thrills and Slices at Coney
Creeping up into the sky. Stopping at the top and starting down. The girl grabbed my hand. I clutched it tight. I said good-bye to the ground. Just a reminder: The long-dormant Slice Pizza Club will be revived Sunday at noon in Coney Island. We'll be meeting outside the ticket booth of the Cyclone. At noon. As per tradition at Slice, we'll ride the world-famous roller coaster once or thrice on what is its opening day (Palm Sunday every year) and then adjourn to nearby Totonno's for some pizza. As is usually the case, this Slice Pizza Club event is...Slice Pizza Club: Annual Coney Field Trip
We're reconvening the Slice Pizza Club, which hasn't seen action in more than a year! Coney Island's Cyclone roller coaster reopens for the season on Sunday, April 09. We're gonna meet on the corner by the 'Clone's ticket booth at noon. We'll ride the ride once or thrice and then adjourn to nearby Totonno's for some coal-oven goodness. If you're in, e-mail me at adam [at] sliceny [dot] com. I don't know how we're gonna do it if we get too many people (Totonno's is only so big), but who cares. The more the merrier! See you there, and, as...Slice is part of the Foodblog Ad Network. To advertise on this site or across a network of food-related weblogs, click here.
