Our favorite morsels from the food blogs and beyond.
Baked: Bay Area Bites' Andrew Simmons pondered the psychology of the thin crust Tuesday. Why in the hayle is Flour + Water mobbed, while Valencia Street's Pizzeria is as overlooked and possibly underloved? Simmons hears the drone of the buzz machine: Does the press machine get behind whatever they're told to get behind by whomever gets to decide what should be gotten behind? Is herd mentality a lot of what's keeping Flour + Water packed tighter than a jar of oil-cured anchovies and Pizzeria as forlorn and lonely as a marinara-deprived breadstick? Does a Halal pizzeria without a pizzaiolo or a publicist stand a chance in this city? We're kind of liking Simmons' thoughtful outsider schtick. Kind of a lot.
