  1. I am a man that used to make pizza. Also, I am a superhero
  2. Gods help us when some "Chef/Restaurateur" makes it so Banh Mi cost $14 dollars, starts to have a line out the door, and next thing you know every "Chef/Restaurateur" jumps on the bandwagon. The Bethesda "foodie" scene jumps on board with the newest craze, over-priced sammies and the whole damn thing jumps the shark right over to the Trite foods thread. and the baguette still sucks. However, I could see Baker Ben Arnold pulling it off.

  4. perhaps Etto will change this. (and I meant nothing against the low wage immigrants, everybody has to make a living.)
  5. I'm afraid at this point, "wood fired and brick oven" pizze, or is it pizzas, may very well be trite, certainly hackneyed, especially in DC where they seem most often to be made by low wage immigrants with no real interest in the craft.
  6. Not blue. Indeed Kimchee does not belong on pizza, hot dogs go on pizza. I imagine that Kimchi could be quite good on a hot dog however, Kraut is fermented cabbage, just not spicy. Slaw is cabbage, seems to me hot dogs and cabbage are pals.
  7. Hey now, looks like yer right smarty pants. funny thing is when you buy them from the purveyor they send you a mixed box-labeled nasturtium. apparently nasturtium is orange. pansies come in many colors. other than that, same shit. I should have said "edible flowers" What is the "natural habitat" of Kimchi I wonder... IHTTAALY
  8. Fucking Cauliflower, it's on every menu everywhere. You know it! and "Nasturtiums" or pansies as we called 'em when mom was growing them.. chive blossoms, and anything from the Ideas in food blog. I may take this down in a bit. I'm a bitter man lately
  9. They'll be breaking down the door in no time I'd bet!
  10. fine on a crudite. Kids like mine might not even know what they are wolfing down..
  11. I think that any person(corporation) that can find an angle that allows them to control at least a significant portion of the global food supply, puts themselves in a pretty powerful position..
  12. Peter Taylor in Tampa, Fl. , However, is making an amazing hybrid wood fired pie at his pizzeria -Wood Fired I must correct myself.
  13. Many of those "geeks" have gone on to open Pizzerie in the past few years..Cane Rosso, Paulie Gee's, Varasano's , etc.. etc.. of the ones I've had, none have been exceptional, or better than some of the local spots.
  14. The Disciplinaire is readily available to download. It does allow some leeway in method of production, but is very precise in it's definition. Down to pH levels in fact. Napolitan pizza is a real, defined product. The question is; how much leeway is allowed and which restaurant is following the Disciplinaire? Their are real monetary dues paid for AVPN certification, and classes can be purchased as well.. Incidentally, one of the most popular famous pizzeria in Naples, Pizzeria Da Michele, is not certified by VPN. Da Michele has been in the same location for over 100 years, and is one of the original Napolitan Pizzerie. I don't think the Napolitans know for sure, or care as much as you might think.. The best pizze I have ever had were in Naples. The worst pizze I had in Naples were easily topped by some pizza I've had in the US.. Jonathan, congratulations!
  15. 2a's pizza is not authentic Neapolitan, so far from it in fact, that it calls into question the credibility of AVPN America.. Not to say that it is a bad pizza, (although I do think there are better to be had in the area). The rest of 2a's food is fantastic and the quality of the products they use cannot be called into question. What's more Italian than using good ingredients? I do not know enough about Ptella to say for sure how strictly they adhere to the Disciplinaire, but I have been there. The oven is awesome, and the mixer is one of the 3 approved varieties. I've had better pizza in the area, but it resembles what I've eaten in Naples more than at 2A Having said all that, I believe that the Disciplinaire is not the end all method to making a good pizza. Taste, smell, texture, digestibility, and appearance are the qualifiers in my mind. and that's all I have to say about that. Don, Thanks fer putting it out there!
