When you go poking around in their albums, though, they can be a bit sweary for air.

If we're talking banjo, I'll always root for "Journey of the Sorcerer" because 1) it's great, 2) it's the only bearable Eagles track and 3) the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy connection makes it even greater.

Gloat away. But the pizza, well, I'm afraid nothing beats the joint i visit in Southern California in unincorporated LA County. It is the antithesis of every species of pizza served these days. Hot out of the oven it's unbeatable.

In NY we have Shake Shack and a few others in the In-N-Out mode, but none of them are quite as good.
  5:08pm
JakeGould:

@VPriceless: I’d say the bagels as well, but I am just old enough to remember when they were truly great. Like crusts you could lose a tooth on. Basically big circular pretzels. Ahh, the good old days. Watch this film from the good old days of 1970s bagel making. Note no protective gloves. Also ignore the yammering narrator. www.youtube.com...

Ess-A-Bagel is the shit for bagels in NYC.
  5:10pm
JakeGould:

@P-90:Yes, “Shake Shack” is the closest to “In-N-Out” but still, that is on the rare/artisanal side. I like them but burger places in California are just so consistently good. In contrast just fast food dreck here.

Also I think the issue is not just the water, but the flour used in dough nowadays. Unless you go out of your way for better quality flour, every place in NYC nowadays uses sacks of Pillsbury crap. No disrespect to that paunchy little Doughboy, but man… That stuff is like just so close to pure sugar nowadays.
