Slice Mentioned on 'Good Day LA'
Slice was apparently featured on Good Day LA this morning during the "Maria Surfs the Web" segment. Thanks to Maria Quiban for the shout out. Greetings to any new folks in Los Angeles who may have found us via KTTV Fox 11. (And just so nobody gets bent out of shape here, the videos Ms. Quiban actually shows in her segment were videos Slice embedded via Food Network Humor and Stephanie Izard's Tasty Life.) Update (7/14/2009): As has been pointed out below and on Food Network Humor, my tone above comes off as pretty damn flip—that's not what I...Slice Reviewed on PBAHTEOIPO: 'A New York Times of Pizza'
As part of its series of pizza-site reviews, Pizza Blog About How to Eat/Order Italian Pizza Online recently featured Slice and had some really nice things to say, among them: Slice offers many different features that may at first be a bit overwhelming, but that is only because there is so much depth and history to the site. Slice has various pizza maps of the many pizza places that have been reviewed. Slice also has pizza recipes, pizza videos, and pizza reviews. If you would like to search Slice, they have an easy drop-down menu to browse pizza by...Pizzeria Boom Actually Harming New York Pizza as We Know It, Newsweek Says
Newsweek has an interesting take on the latest golden age of pizza in New York City. There's a cloud in the silver lining of the fancy-pants pizzeria boom—namely that Neapolitan and upscale pizzeria openings are outpacing the debut of really good typical New York–slice joints. (Oh, and I'm not just highlighting the following because I happen to be quoted in it; emphasis added.) During the past six months, however, New York has been experiencing what The New York Times's Frank Bruni calls "a definite pizza moment"—a moment that threatens, I fear, to permanently alter what we think of when we...'New York Sun' on Artichoke Basille's
Photograph courtesy of The Beef Aficionado When it rains, it pours, huh? The New York Sun writes about Artichoke this morning, as well. I knew this story was coming out, since I was quoted in it, I just didn't think we'd get hit with two Artichoke Basille items today. The thrust of the Sun piece is that Artichoke is one of the few pizzerias holding down the fort when it comes to good slices in Manhattan and that people are nuts for it. Mr. Connolly, a New Jersey native, said the best pizza is typically from the Garden State...NPR on Online Food Maps
This morning NPR aired a story about online food maps—highlighting websites and blogs that are using digitocartographic technologies such as Google Maps to expose delicioso places to eat. Among the sites mentioned: YumTacos.com, Chinese Food Map, and, yours humbly, Slice. If you wanna hear my droning voice, you can listen here....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,...Pizzaiolo Michael Ayoub in the 'Brooklyn Paper'
The previous post reminds me that I was negligent in blogging this item about Cronkite and Fornino owner Michael Ayoub from the March 3 issue of the Brooklyn Paper: Sitting at a table in his award-winning Williamsburg restaurant, Fornino, Ayoub was rightfully proud to be discussing his growing pizza empire. To call Fornino, or its newborn Manhattan sibling Cronkite, a “pizzeria” is a mighty understatement. What he offers—gourmet pies with homegrown and high-end ingredients, including homemade mozzarella and three types of specialty flour—is about as far from a plain old slice as you can get....Interviewed on Foodcandy.com
I think I forgot to mention last week that Foodcandy.com did an interview with me. Foodcandy bills itself as "Friendster for Foodies." But, in truth, it's more fun and useful than Friendster. Here's the interview....Slice on 'The 9'
Um, until yesterday, I had no idea what The 9 was. But our sister site's "Hamburger" Matty tells me, "It's super popular." So, yeah. It appears to be, since we're getting a whole new crop of emails from "9" people after having appeared there for our Deep-Fried Pizza video. And that's on top of the emails from New York Times readers, who saw Slice mentioned in the Gray Lady on Wednesday. I'm reading all your emails, preparing responses, etc. It'll just take me a bit to get through them all! Slice on 'the 9' [11/9/2006; 9.yahoo.com]...Slice is part of the Foodblog Ad Network.
