I'll admit that I added about $20 to that $1B. Hey, my wife was pregnant and she wanted that damn garlic sauce and the pepperoncini. But with that said, there is something about PJ's that is strangely addictive, it's probably the same stuff they put in McDonald's fries.
I thought this site was called 'Serious Eats.' This is clearly not for those that are serious about their eats.
I was at Rosa's in Maspeth, Queens the other day and they had ravioli (I'm guessing they were the cheese variety) in vodka sauce on top of a pie. Looked pretty good. Didn't try it tho, the Grandma slices were calling to me.
and isn't it 'pizzas' and not 'pizza's'? My pet peeve = improper use of apostrophes (or is it apostrophe's?).
I agree with the Canon Rebel XTi people. I added a 100mm Macro lens to mine (~$350) and it takes amazing food photos in natural light. For someone like me -- a relative novice on anything behind the camera -- It can take a little while to figure out the manual settings, but that's half the fun!
3 out of a few thousand? I would have given up after, say, 10 bad melons. Maybe the problem is Andy. And to Raphael, not all of us will be crotchety, whiny, professional complainers. Some of us plan to be mellow, open-minded, cool old people. I've met a few that inspired me.
Nah, I'm totally going to Acqua Santa that night instead. I read on Slice that their pies are better. And the owner drives a Ferrari, so it HAS to be fo real.
Yeah, I meant Papa -- a good reason to not make comments while on vacation.
I thought that dude in the TV commercials was the CEO. You mean he's not? Is he really Poppa John then?
Ziti pizza is a standard at T&R, on Amsterdam Ave. in Manhattan...
...and on rare occasion, spaghetti pizza shows its face, too. What the folks at T&R were thinking when they first put pasta on pizza, I've never asked, but the pizzeria is just south of a stretch of spilling-onto-the-sidewalk bars.
Glass Nickel may be in the process of overexpanding. They've now got six locations and are apparently opening a seventh in Brookfield. It seems to me that the Fetalicious was always a bit too soggy, but my old favorite the Santa Fe had gotten noticeably worse over the last couple years (less BBQ sauce, dry and tasteless chicken). I hope not, but for me the point is pretty much moot since I moved out of the Madison area last month.
Speaking of weird pizza toppings, my wife brought home a chicken cordon bleu (I think--it might have been something equally improbably) pizza from Casa Bianca on Junction Rd once that was just fantastic. The Glass Nickel version was too heavy. Never been to Ian's.
I bought my new camera today!
Canon PowerShot -- SD870IS Digital ELPH.
I'm playing around with it right now, and my first impressions are VERY GOOD.
I've already taken a couple shots that are better than anything I've ever taken before. Period. WOOHOO! :)
Keeping in mind I'm a photo-newbie, with no idea what I'm doing.
This sweet little point-and-shoot is only $300, but it packs a lot of features and quality for that price. Within my first hour, I've already taken some impressive shots of... my pizza I had for dinner tonight, my guitars, my cat, a plant that's growing on my next door neighbor's patio that may or may not be illegal, and lots of other stuff.
I am very happy with this purchase so far. Is there any way to upload a pic here in the forum?
You have to admire the brilliance of the people who realized people would buy something like this.
Am I the only person who has good memories of sitting with my mom in the car and both of us reaching into the bag of fries as we drove home after a long day?
I don't eat McDonald's anymore, haven't for 7 years, but jeez, I do sometimes eat a protien bar or some grapes when I don't have time to have lunch.
But isn't the fun of eating fries in the car the sharing and the mixing up of the stuff in the bag as you ride home? A professional fry holder seems to fly in the face of such pleasure.
ccweb & bobcatsteph -- bring it to the haters!
seriously, people are assholes (i think that is supposed to be in a david cross voice but i'm not quite sure). i personally love there there are so many people willing to make decisions for me..it makes my life easier. i just wish i could figure out how to make them do my job for me while i sit back and sign the checks.
I so love it when people throw stones from their glass houses.
What's so bad about eating in a car? Have you never been on a ROAD TRIP? Sorry for your sheltered lives.
I have chronic HYPOtension, that is extreme low blood pressure upon standing (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) and I can't say how many times some salty french fries have saved me from passing out. Also, I'm not fat, very much the opposite, I'm tall and extremely thin and I make excellent food but partake in fast food when I need it. What a horrible person I must be! Step off your high horses please.
Right on ccbweb!
Yeah, umm, I'm out on that one - someone obviously has a "I eat french fries and I shouldn't have to be ashamed of it" complex. It's OK! Norman Bates, I think your mother's calling you..?
Yes. Indeed. The french fry holder is what is wrong with America. This is the root of the downfall of civilization. Also eating in the car, totally demolishing the pillars of our society.
We also know that all people who eat fries or who eat in their car are fat. They are also beneath us and to be looked down upon.
