East Boston: Santarpio's Pizza
Here's my video post on Santarpio's:

His crust may have been tough, and it might be a little chewier than most, but the cornmeal has another function - to elevate the pie from oven floor and allow air to get under it, making it crispier.

Where's the "none" checkbox?
In-Flight Drinks: Spicy Tomato Juice
I'm sorry; I don't trust aisle sitters. You have to get up for each of your row's bathroom/overhead compartment needs. It makes zero sense to prefer the aisle.
Best NY Food blog
I'm doing a project in January and I've rounded up 50 of the most popular independent food writers in New York City here:
http://wanderingfoodie.com/2009/nyc-food-bloggers-unite/
It's a pretty definitive list of the current active foodies in NYC. A few notable exceptions:

Swine Floozie
Lunch for One: Murray's Cheese
Murray's looks money - Yelp reviews are ridic. I should try to get these guys on board for sure. Can't believe I missed this place; used to walk down thats street to the dorm my GF lived in twice a week.
Video: A Candy Affair
I feel like I just stumbled onto bluemountain.com for a second :-P
How to Make Ghostly Eggs
Permanent marker works as well :-P
Video: 'Naturally Risen' Redux
I can see how'd we'd dig that in SF. If I could get a few figs on that, that's be great.
Street Food Profiles: Nom Nom Truck in Los Angeles, California
I love these truck profiles! You guys gotta do the Fojol truck down in DC. They are some pretty chilled out brothers.
Street Food Profiles: Coolhaus Ice Cream Sandwiches in Los Angeles, California
I thought the Fojol Brothers truck was the coolest before I saw this one - now I am torn. They both have their merits. One is rimmed out and the other one has painted pink rims . . . one is a 2000 model mail truck and one is a 50's delivery truck . . . tough choices
Lady M Cake Boutique Cheesecake: The Last Cut Is The Deepest
Terrible. Not as much of a dis as my experience at Café Creme in Bath, ME. The owner was having problems with her free wifi and I found out it was the fact that she had no DSL filter on her phone. Every time she picked up the phone, the DSL blipped, and for ten minutes and the customers went without internet. Customers had complained about this for two years. As I was online, I said that she could call her internet guy using my cell phone, instead, she picked up the phone forced all the customers off the internet. Guess that has little to do with generosity and more to do with customer service, but I digress.
This Weekend in 'New York Times' Food News
If you're only going to read one of these, The Reichl piece is excellent.
All About Curry
I just had a curry soy latte in DC at Peregrine Espresso on Capitol Hill. It was so intriguing that I just HAD to have it.
It was heaven.
I said that I wanted cream instead of soy, but they told me no, the soy sets off the curry flavor. They knew what they were talking about
Is Locavorism For Rich Folks Only?
Farm shares are reasonable. The stuff is more expensive, but it doesn't approach whole foods prices.
The Best 15-Ingredient Waffle Recipe
Now all that there's left to do is throw in some fried chicken to round out the dish:

Is it too early for that? Anyone else totally dig wings and waffles?
A Full Side of Beef with Master Butcher Rudi Weid
This sounds like an amazing class. I went to this food and wine festival this weekend where someone cooked some shitakes and risotto and just had no energy at all. I can't cook worth a damn, but I can teach, and I would like to think I can entertain, but getting all three together at once - there's a reason why these celebrity chefs are selling tours out these days.
U.S. Regional Hot Dog Styles T-Shirt
Yeah, the shirt is related to food, but what did the guy use to do his research on this one? He must have went to google image search and hit "I'm feeling lucky. DC is wrong. Do NYC metroers really have that diverse a hot dog palate that they need three times the representation?
