Remember when Rachael Ray was asking for votes for the best pizza in Chicago and New York City? The results are in, and, according to Friend of Slice Tien Mao, they're being aired as we speak (if you're on Eastern Daylight Time). If you're in later time zones, you might still have a chance to watch; check your local listings. I, for one, will look for a rerun and try to DVR. In the meantime, Tien gave me some play-by-play. He's working from home, multitasking with some TV in the background, I assume....Slice Mentioned on 'Millionaire'
Holy Slice! FOS Tien Mao called earlier today while I was at IKEA picking up some office furniture for Serious Eats, and he said he was working from home, flipping through channels, and just happened to land on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. One of the questions, he said, was something to the effect of "The New York–based website SliceNY.com is a blog dedicated to what food: pies, hot dogs, pizza, pretzels?" (I'm probably getting the foods wrong there, but you get the gist.) This is a stretch, because who DVRs Millionaire, which apparently airs in the afternoon now,...Slice's New Favorite Song: 'Dom'
An awesome email from the Slice inbox today: Dear Slice folks, My name's James, and I'm a fan of your site. Waaaaay back around 2001 or 2002, I wrote and recorded a song. It's called "Dom," and it is about a certain pizzaman in Brooklyn, about whom you know a little something. It's a little out of date now. Listen to "Dom": Dom I know the guy that makes the bestest pie in town His ass is not under the bridge You will not find him in Coney Island You will not find him in Bay Ridge...Joss Stone Eating Pizza on Trip to New York
I didn't know who this Joss Stone was until looking her up on Wikipedia, but I guess she's popular enough to have paparazzi take her picture while she visits from the UK. Blimey! She knows what to do while here, eh?...Cute Song: 'Take a Pizza to Lunch'
We recently got an email from songwriter Thomas Ventiquattro II alerting us to his new song "Take a Pizza to Lunch." You can hear a sample of it here. (Depending on your computer's settings, link may open in iTunes and begin playing music.)...Pizza Aroma Gives Suspects Away
Somethin' don't smell right: COLUMBUS, IND. — A sheriff's deputy sniffed out two men suspected of robbing a pizza delivery woman when he caught a whiff of pepperoni and sausage pizza at their home. Smell of pizza leads deputy to suspects [forbes.com]...Pizza Art by Ted Mineo
Artist and Slice reader Ted Mineo emailed us a link to a few of his pieces that feature pizza. Above is Communion (15-inch square, oil on canvas over panel, 2006). When the aliens come, I hope they arrive in spacecraft like these: Hemisphere 1 (20 by 24 inches, watercolor on paper, 2005) I, for one, welcome our new pizza overlords. Ted tells us he's got some other pizza artworks in the works, including sculptures and a circular pizza rug that you'll be able to buy by the slice. For more on Ted's work, see tedmineo.com....David Blaine Loves Di Fara
Stunt magician David Blaine loves Di Fara Pizza. He must have gone there after his latest trick, in which he submerged himself in a water-filled bubble: While in the sphere, Blaine said, "I passed the time by pretending to be an astronaut, floating freely in space." He dreamed of his favorite restaurant, Di Fara's Pizzeria in the Midwood section of Brooklyn, where he goes after every stunt. And here's from a wonderful interview Jeff Vandam did with Di Fara proprietor Dom Demarco for the New York Times: "You want to know something? A lot of people, they pay more for...Slice is part of the Foodblog Ad Network. To advertise on this site or across a network of food-related weblogs, click here.
