Wow! Congratufrickinglations! I can't wait to finally taste your pizza (lord knows it looks amazing).

This will be a nice upgrade from the free LuLu's pizza I eat the couple of times a year I end up on that block. Actually, I'm pretty sure I'll be there more often now because of this news...

In other news, the world is round and water is wet. And, like dnk said, Jif beats Skippy.

nope, you guys got it wrong. he doesn't talk about militant vegans, he makes snide comments about pretty much any dish that doesn't have meat in it. i personally don't care. he's got his bs rep to build and protect so if he has to project his manliness by limiting his intake of vegetables that is his problem, not mine. it detracts a little from the viewing experience but not enough that i would stop watching.

whatever, it's just part of his bad boy shtick. i think he's a bit of a douche but his show can be entertaining so i watch it.

I don't like either of them but I'll go with the one that doesn't sound like it's slang for a female body part.

Not if the comments are being moderated before they are posted. Any time I've made comments on NYT blogs they have taken so long to post that there is no opportunity for constructive dialogue between the readers.

"Great hash browns are as rare in this town as a one bedroom rent-controlled apartment"

This is probably my biggest complaint about the diners in this city. They ALL seem to go with home fries instead of hash browns. These ones look nice and crispy, although they don't have the Waffle House "scattered" action that I love.

Maybe Conde Nast would have been more successful with these titles if they hadn't spent so much on status symbols and actually focused on the markets for their products. Seriously, why would I care about seeing their management team partying with celebrities or that they can enjoy lunch in a Frank Gehry designed cafeteria? Funny that there is no mention of subscriber or financial data in this article since from what I've heard mismanagement at the corporate level had a much bigger hand in this than Kimball acknowledges.

On another note, Kimball has to realize that statements like this make him sound like a complete *sshole: "a respect for those who had earned the chops, as it were, who had a lifetime of good breeding and experience in order to stand at the cultural helm". Hearing someone use the expression good breeding makes my blood boil. Maybe that's part of the problem, thinking that "standing at the cultural helm" is more important than giving customers what they want.

It annoys the hell out of me that instead of taking a critical look at their business model and that of the parent company, he calls for a blogger ethics panel. The funny part is that he actually hints at the problem in the third paragraph but then proceeds to spout nonsense for the rest of the editorial.

@pizzafreak -- thanks, that makes a lot more sense.

As a kid my specialty was the crumb coffee cake from my parents' Farm cookbook.

I'm a Plymouth man but I haven't really tried the new specialty ones..though I can't imagine any of them making a better gimlet.

Nice that they included the obligatory mention of Slice. I'm still trying to wrap my head around why Lucali's second location is going to be right down the street from the only really good pizza in park slope/greenwood heights/whatever. It's not like they would have had competition if they opened anywhere in park slope proper (unless they were close to flatbush). I know how my wallet is going to vote on that one.

They aren't wasting any time getting UPN updated. I guess they only had to do cosmetic work so I shouldn't be surprised.
