When was the last time you ate a double slice?

Look at John Travolta nosh on that double slice in this clip around :36. That's real borough NYC street cred. You either have it or you don't.



If you want to tell me you can eat a double slice like that, with so much elegant nonchalance, you may as well tell me you can command a dancefloor in Brooklyn like Saturday Night Fever.

Remember when the guy fell off the bridge at the end of that movie. Don't be that guy.

I used to roll up my pizza slices to have more to bite into. I haven't had a slice of real New York street pie in 10, maybe fifteen years. I'm salivating.

My uncle used to fold his pizza up as well. I never knew a “double slice” was a thing. I’d go for one but probably couldn’t pull it off like a young Travolta.

The fold is a common method of eating pizza, the double slice you can pull off in NY and NJ because of the thin crust. Now the double Sicilian is well worth the challenge.

The pizzeria I order from cuts their slices so large that a double slice would be a real challenge, as the fold is necessary to handle all the drippy goodness. OMG I wanna order a large pepperoni double cheese right NOW!

In my EMT-B class my instructor was this older gentleman who told us compressions during CPR should be done to the rhythm of this song. Staying Alive is a steady 103 bpm's. AHA guidelines are 100-120 bpm's. There were quite a few youngsters who had no clue who the Bee Gees were. 🤦‍♂️
"Good enough" is a false idol. Beware those that preach its virtue.

I didn't read the article but there was a review in the WSJ today about an album of BeeGees songs sung as country music ballads by the likes of Dolly Parton and other country stars. I gave the newspaper to one of the girls but I'm sure you can find out about it online. I'm tempted.
