Slice in 'Cravings'
Cravings, the monthly web-based food magazine published by Celia Cheng, just published an interesting feature about foodbloggers for its August issue. And it's not just interesting because Slice and our sister site, A Hamburger Today, are featured ;) Ms. Cheng talked to eight other foodbloggers, and it appears she did the same thorough interviews with them as she did with me. I've been looking forward to this feature for the past month, as Ms. Cheng went beyond the typical questions ("How long have you been publishing?" "What's your favorite pizzeria?") in her attempt to suss out the motivations and...Slice Google Maps in NY Post
This site was mentioned in the New York Post today in a story about Google Maps mashups. Referring, of course, to our Slice Pizza Map. Nyslice.com lets hungry New Yorkers see the city with topographical pizza goggles on. In other words, the way it was intended. Unfortunately, the paper botched our URL. In other words, their hungry readers will remain pizzagraphically challenged and hungry. Off the Charts [New York Post]...Slice in Food & Wine Magazine
Slice gets a nice mention in a story by Pete Wells on the website of Food & Wine. The column, titled "In the Belly of the Blog," details Mr. Wells's attempt to "get beyond the boring 'cheese-sandwich' genre of blog to celebrate the idiosyncratic ones that make him say Wow." I'm flattered that Slice and sister site A Hamburger Today were both mentioned as blogs that wow Pete: Finally, like any good piece of writing, a blog needs a sense of purpose. The author can't just curl up on the sofa like an overfed retriever and recollect his last bowl...Slice in the L.A. Alternative
This website gets a passing mention in a story in the Los Angeles Alternative (wow: all the LA love lately). The story's called The Internet Killed Xerox Zine-sters, and you can pretty much guess what it's about. Unless you don't know what a zine is. What they say about Slice: “For writers, publishers, photographers and more, a blog is the easiest way to get what you create in front of people,” notes [LAist editor Carolyn] Kellogg. “When I was an editor at The Fizz, it took us two months to do all the editorial, layout and production of our newsprint...Slice in the New York Times
After being mentioned in just about every other paper in and around the city, Slice finally got some play in the Old Gray Lady itself (or should that be herself?). Joe Sharkey writes in his "Memo Pad" column: HOLD THE ANCHOVIES Business travelers are familiar with Zagat restaurant guides, but pizza parlors usually do not show up in them. Now there is good news for discerning peripatetic pizza lovers: a blog dedicated to pizza, www.sliceny.com. The site, published by Adam Kuban, is New York-oriented, but it also contains reviews from readers in many other cities and foreign locales, including...'Daily News': Lento's Closed
In a story headlined "The unkindest slice of all," the New York Daily News reports on the reasons behind Lento's closing: declining business and what seems to be a family dispute. [Linda] Cahill's grandfather, Eugene Lento, turned the space into a pizzeria 73 years ago after the speakeasy he ran began losing dough at the end of Prohibition.Upon his retirement, Lento handed the business to sons-in-law Anthony Tortora and Herbert Connors, and in 1988 Cahill and three others took over.Lento's daughter, Mary Lento, inherited the building at 7003 Third Ave. when Lento died in 2002."My grandfather reassured us there...Slice Mentioned in USA Weekend
Slice was mentioned in the Sunday newspaper insert USA Weekend (January 06–08), along with some other familiar names in foodblogging (The Food Section, The Accidental Hedonist, Chocolate and Zucchini, Too Many Chefs, Obsession with Food, and Orangette). It doesn't seem to be available online, so I scanned it for your reading pleasure (above). Greetings to new readers via the USA Weekend section, and many thanks to longtime readers. Now back to our regularly scheduled programming.......Slice in the L.A. Times
Slice and its sister site, A Hamburger Today, are featured in today's Los Angeles Times. From a story called Have we gone blog wild?: WHEN food blogging was new (about 15 minutes ago), it was fun to pore over the gastronomic musings at the Accidental Hedonist or I Was Just Really Very Hungry. In those days, reading about what someone ate for dinner or which food magazine they liked best was kind of amusing. But quicker than you could say blogosphere, the world of blogs-by-dedicated-foodies got crowded, repetitive, overly precious and just plain dull. These days, hyper-focus is in; generalism...Siriusly Slice
What do Slice and infamous shock jock Howard Stern (left) have in common? We're both coming soon to Sirius Satellite Radio. Unlike Mr. Stern's impending move to the spacewaves, however, our time on air will be fleeting. Slice (and by Slice, I mean me) will be on the recently launched Martha Stewart Living Radio channel talking about foodblogs for a five-minute stretch. I have no idea what they're going to ask, but I'll be typing up a talking points memo tonight. If you subscribe to Sirius, you can listen either on Channel 112 or online. For those of you who...Slice is part of the Foodblog Ad Network. To advertise on this site or across a network of food-related weblogs, click here.
