Oh, good Lord! This pizza thing just keeps getting more and more elaborate. Brian Greenberg has the latest details, but, in a nutshell, these crazy kids are now planning to fly Dave, the owner of Utah’s own Este, out to NYC with a chilled pie (not frozen, as that apparently yields unsatisfactory results) which he will bake somewhere in or around Rockefeller Center. Assuming, of course, that Brian can talk a nearby pizzeria into the use of their oven for some dippy Internet stunt. Meanwhile, Este Dave has decided to challenge three top New York pizza-makers and maybe one in Cincinnati. Brian fears this may turn into a full-blown reality-TV show before it’s over, and I can’t say I blame him. My head-spin is now up to about 45 RPMs; when it reaches 78, I’m going to start talking like Alvin the Chipmunk…

Holy cow. This has really gone wild. I think they should fly you to NYC, too, since it all started on your blog. And I’ll have to come as your personal assistant. 🙂
Well, of course! I’m sure if we want to go, we can… as for who pays for the airfare and the time off, well, how much do you have left from Vegas? 🙂
yeah, this has gone wild. We’ll put Utah foodstuffs on the map with this!
If ABC is really going to cover this, I can’t imagine they wouldn’t spring for three tickets to NYC. With hotel, that’s like $2,000, which has got to be fairly low budget for show segment.
At this point, I say we ask for the moon – no one has said no yet… :-O
You’re probably right, Brian, but I tend to keep my sights set fairly low. Less chance of disappointment that way… 😉
Cheno is the optimist of this bunch…
Hey…guess what: we’re famous (again)! I dropped Scalzi a note last night telling him what’s going on (since it was his blog that led me here, after all) and he’s now blogged about the Pizza Challenge:

Oh boy… that head-spin just kicked up a couple of RPMs… I’m getting dizzy…
Stop the world, I want to get off. 🙂
