Donald Trump disrespects New Yorkers by taking Sarah Palin to a pizza chain and eating his stacked slices with a fork.

Should have gone to Brooklyn.
In manhattan, if you are not eating at Rays, you might as well eat pizza with a knife and fork.
It most likely is nothing more than a technique to avoid the Pizza in the mouth with cheese dripping over your chin Kodak moment.
Which is common in my house.
Any pizza sold by the slice and can be folded is NY or perhaps Chi Town pie. In the south we actually put on enough toppings that a fork is a necessity. If I wanted to fold it I would go buy a Tombstone pizza from WalMart.
Stewart is desperately unfunny. The awful, awful mugging! And the cursing! God, give me Johnny Carson. At this point, give me Joey Bishop!
The NY pizza is as close as it gets to the original pizza - created in Naples. The southern Italians who settled in NY brought the pizza with them. It bears no relationship with a frozen pizza found in a Wal Mart. Can we drop the silly NY bashing for one moment?
Ray’s no longer exists. As in “The original Ray’s Pizza.” You can find dozens of terrible pizza parlors calling themselves “Rays.” For a while there was a good pizza parlor called “Pronto’s.” Don’t know what happened to that one. Best pizzas are generally found in restaurants. The most well-known are John’s in Greenwich Village and the two Patsy’s. Never had either of them, though. I generally stick to the terrible place across the street from me (do you hear me, Mike’s Pizza??!)
Fine. You and Jonathan Leibowitz can eat all the original Italian pizza, folded up, you want. Have a nice day.
Be careful what you wish for. Mike may just 'spin a pie' for you .....right after having scratched his privates or something.
I dislike Jon Stewart intensely. But why do you insist on calling him Jonathan Liebowitz? Obviously that’s his real name but a lot of performers change their names. You’re not the only one on FR to do this, of course, but I’m wondering why he is always referred to that way.
And we don’t fold it up. We either hold it by the two edges of the crust or fold it very slightly down the middle. It’s more like we cup it than fold it. And we ALWAYS put red pepper flakes on it. Every table in a NY pizzeria has a small canister of red pepper flakes.
Having seen Mike up close, I don’t think he needs any help from me to resort to that kind of behavior! His pizza really stinks though!
I wish you luck in your pizza endeavors. I’ve taken to finding the buy the best frozen pizza ultra thin crust ones at the store and adding cheese, pepperoni, etc. and then cooking it with a machine called a Pizazz. As far as I’m concerned it’s the best way to cook a pizza at home.
I actually make them at home when I have time. Some flour, water and salt, a little sunshine to make the dough rise and then a pizza stone, a paddle with plenty of corn meal spread across it and voila! You can have a really nice pizza in a couple of hours.
I do not suggest this is for everyone, though!
Sounds good, but I really am time limited until I retire. I am driving 120-130 miles R/T every day and I’m just too beat to get into time consuming cooking...
That's fine. I am only commenting on the 7 minute video, posted at the top of this thread, that Jonathan Stuart Leibowitz, the non Italian, comments about people using a fork and then demonstrates his Jewish roots by eating pizza without a fork. Forgive me if I think his shtick is over the top for a person named Leibowitz.
120 miles a day! Horrible. My husband did that and may have to do it again. Hope one day you have lots of leisure and can enjoy making your own pizza.
Now I’m really confused!
By the way, he doesn’t have Jewish roots; he’s a Jew.
IMO, nothing by Stewart is “funny”. I tried watching this clip, and had to turn it off.
Yes. That is why I keep using his given name, Jonathan Leibowitz. Frankly the entire 7 minutes was a cutdown to Trump and a backhand to Palin, although I give....Jon Stewart, leeway as he said nothing about Sarah Palin nor her family, who were also there.
I saw that one John Stewart bit where he was making fun of the way Obama drank the pint of Guiness with his little pinky sticking out. That was freakin’ HILARIOUS!!!!
Oh wait. He’s never made fun of Obama’s mannerisms. Yet we get loads of Palin gags. Borrrrrrriiiiiiinnnnnnnnngggggg.
But here’s what I don’t understand: why is it important to you or others that he is Jewish?
