The Daily Dish: June 16, 2016

Today's first course?

Vinnie's in Brooklyn has become the world's unofficial Willy Wonka of pizzerias. First it gave us the pizza box made of pizza, then the pizza inception, and then we had a laugh at the giant "wall" pizza. Now we can dig into a slice of pizza surrounded on all three sides by crust, instead of just the usual one. For anyone who has ever thought the crust is the best part of the pie, this is your pizza dream-come-true. We fully expect insanity from Vinnie's creations and can't wait to see what it comes up with next.

 

Thanks to Talenti Gelato & Sorbetto's Flavorize.Us, you can find out what custom gelato flavor represents you, and Talenti just might make it for you. Flavorize.Us utilizes an algorithm which scans Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook posts for "flavor sentiments" in the form of word choice, emoji usage, and color. It then assigns ingredients to match these flavor sentiments to create personalized flavors such as Praline Hungarian Shortbread Mint or Pluot Sauvignon Blanc Nectarine.

Last week, workers cleaned up two tons of French fries scattered across a Belgian City Hall. The delicious protest was the work of French fry kiosk owners whose businesses are threatened by new legislation passed by the government in Ghent. Vendors who used to have "first dibs" on renewing their leases and the right to pay five percent more than the highest bidder to keep their lease have lost this power, with new legislation giving the lease to the highest bidder. The vendors have tried to overturn this rule twice and failed.

That's today's daily dish, thanks for watching. Stop by tomorrow for another helping.
