"slashfood bowl" news and stories

Oh no she di-n't.

Oh yes, she did.

In our annual food showdown inspired by opposing team cities in the Super Bowl (now dubbed the Slashfood Bowl), Marisa has gone to pizza. I knew she would, and knew that I would have to come up with something. Now I know that arguing that there might be something better than New York-style pizza (which happens to be my favorite kind) is just asking for it, so since I have to rep-ra-zent for the New England Patriots, I am merely going to say that Boston-style pizza simply exists, because really, I can't say that it's better. I just can't.

Today is the day that we're feature main dish foods appropriate for the Super Bowl and so it seems like a good time to look at some of the star foods that come out of New York and explain why they are so vastly superior to those items on offer in the New England area.

Our star representative is New York pizza. It is so very much better than anything available in New England (or really in the rest of the country, but that's another post). One might even say that New York pizza is the Platonic Ideal of pizza. Growing up in Portland, OR we had a pizza place called "Escape from New York Pizza." There was no pizza trying to escape from Boston. Additionally, the premiere pizza site in the blogosphere, the beloved Slice, comes out of New York. Need we say more?

I'm going to turn it over to you, our thoughtful and opinionated Slashfood readers. What are your favorite New York foods?
