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...
What Your Beer Says About You
people who judge others based solely on what they are drinking = assholes. it's a marketing survey, not an affirmation of your preconceived notions.

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

Village Voice Responds to the Slice 'Flame'
I'm confused. Why call the best pizza category "Best Naples-Style Pizza" when you clearly think the label doesn't mean what everyone else thinks it means? Was "Best Pizza" already taken? Did he only name it that to tweak Keste, Motorino, etc. and to start up some controversy? It looks that way. And it has clearly worked. Doesn't seem very helpful to the readers, though.
Anthony Bourdain and Vegetarians/Vegans
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.
Joseph Leonard for Lunch: Next Stop, Yummyville?
@jerkfaceirl
that's a different dish: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corned_beef_hash
nyc diners tend to have corned beef hash but not hashbrowns. unfortunately.
Anthony Bourdain and Vegetarians/Vegans
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.
Why are you a serious eater?
I don't care much about all that. I like to eat things that taste good even if that happens to be neon cheese nachos from a ballpark or McDonald's fries (hoping they are finally being honest about that whole beef extract thing).
What's The Better Name: Muffy or Bogel?
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.
Sam Sifton: Part of Our 'Discussion'?
BTW, my comment was in reaction to the OP, not foodinmouth's comment. I type too slowly....
Sam Sifton: Part of Our 'Discussion'?
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.
Fruit Loops served at Best Western...
That sounds pretty standard to me except for the eggs. I'm always happy when they have the waffle maker. Coffee + OJ + waffle = continental breakfast success (at least for me).
Joseph Leonard for Lunch: Next Stop, Yummyville?
"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.
A bit too many Asian-themed articles on this site?
When you say Asian you mean bacon and cupcakes, right?
Did the Internet Kill 'Gourmet' Magazine?
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.
Serious Eats Finds New York's Best Bagel
Good choice..and good point about the power of a fresh bagel. That's why I usually just get whatever flavor is freshest out of the oven (unless it is one of those sweet ones like cinnamon raisin).
The Manhattan Motorino: Is It as Good as the Brooklyn Location?
@pizzafreak -- thanks, that makes a lot more sense.
The Manhattan Motorino: Is It as Good as the Brooklyn Location?
Does anyone know if that food and wine writer is correct about Mozza using a 500 degree oven? I would be very surprised if they are. I also wouldn't call 675 too hot for pizza by any stretch.
To pick nits, 22-17=5, not 4.
Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'
As a kid my specialty was the crumb coffee cake from my parents' Farm cookbook.

it puts the oatmeal on its skin or else it gets the hose again
Serious Cocktails: The Gin Boomlet
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.
iVillage Knocks off the Chick-fil-A Lettering?
But the first impression is "hey, that looks like chik-fil-a". No one is making the claim that they are actually using the same typeface.
New York Post Roundup of Pizzerias About to Open
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.
Wow. London Secret Restaurant Doing 9/11 Menu
interesting choice considering those places are technically illegal. isn't this just an invitation for the powers that be to try to find them and shut them down? in any case, it does make them scumbags.
by the way, i don't know if that's the wrong link or what but there is no mention of a 9/11 themed dinner in that guardian article.
Serious Eats Finds New York's Best Bagel
Personal Favorites:
Brooklyn: Montague Street Bagels
Manhattan: Ess-a-Bagel
Favorite used to be Bagel Zone (Ave A between 3rd St & 4th St), until they changed their name and stopped baking their own. Was the perfect bagel -- crisp on the outside, soft and bready on the inside...I'd pay a ridiculous premium just to taste one again.

Joseph Leonard for Lunch: Next Stop, Yummyville?
Wow, everything looks AMAZING. I especially like the looks of the duck rillette and the hashbrown.

Bravo ! Go get 'em Paulie.
You have the passion motivatiion, and skills.
I WILL visit next time I'm in "Greenpernt".
Based on Turkey Hill Ice Cream, the Phillies Should Win
Turkey Hill's "party cake" ice cream is something that has to be tasted to be believed. Pure sugar -- it may make you diabetic instantly.

Hey so what are you gonna call the place then?
Openings: Paulie Gee's, Greenpoint, Brooklyn
Congrats from London, England. Hopefully next time I'm in NY you'll have opened successfully and started serving some of your beautiful pies.

My family and I will welcome you to the hood by coming at least once a month. Looking forward to some decent competition to Motorino and Fornino and one that's within walking distance from us!
Openings: Paulie Gee's, Greenpoint, Brooklyn
Wonderful news indeed.
You are some lucky SOBs in Greenpoint.....although luck had nothing to do with it.
Paulie, you know where my feelings are, but congratulations again on a dream come true. Now, make sure the pie is on point when I come up there! :)

dammit! my cousin just moved and would have lived about 2 blocks from here. looks like i'll have to make a road trip net time i come out for a visit. good luck paulie gee!

And, hey, the closest subway stop is on the G line! Perfect!!

SPECTACULAR news! This is going to be a prime destination. I can't wait!!

@captpizza Thanks for the good wishes. As far as ruining things goes, I'm taking a different view of it. I've been doing what I don't even like for 30 years just to earn a living. Now it's time to do what I love. All the complications in the world can't take away the feeling I get when everything goes right and I get to watch people dig into a good looking, tasty pie. Go find the picture I think Adam took of me gazing at one of my pies as I pull it out of the oven and head inside to serve it. As long as I keep focused on getting that result, the other stuff that gets thrown in front of me will be worth putting up with. And now I get the added pleasure of putting a place together for people to come and enjoy. Through my interviews, I have already met a small army of people from North Brooklyn who I can sense have a real excitement about what we'll hopefully create for everyone to enjoy. And all the red tape in the world can never take away from all of those kick ass comments just above this one.
Thanks again,
Paulie Gee

This is awesome.
Congratulations Paulie.
Can't wait for a chance to sample one of your pies.
great news for the world of pizza.

Paulie- If you want to ruin the thing you love- try to make a living doing it! I wish you the best of luck
Based on Turkey Hill Ice Cream, the Phillies Should Win
Well, naturally, Turkey Hill Philadelphia flavors would be better. Turkey Hill is based in Lancaster County, PA, outside of Philly. Not exactly neutral territory! Also, that Phillie Phanatic Double Play sounds divine.

Thanks and don't worry P4P. I'm planning on still being around in February. Looking forward to having you and Lillian stop in.
And thanks again to all of you who have been kind enough to leave me good wishes.

Paulie, we are excited beyond belief at this news! MAZEL TOV!
Ohboy - we'll finally get to taste those Paulie Gee pizzas, and without going to Joisey...
Hope you can open up before December - Lil and I are going to the west coast for December and January. Either way, Greenpoint Avenue is on our agenda, and we expect to be regulars.

Mexican beers are great... no not Corona, Sol, or Modelo... but Carta Blanca, Noche Buena, Tecate and Negra Modelo.
