Bah humbug, WonTon! DiFara’s remains amazing. Of course you should go right when it opens – no wait at all.
I tried Di Fara’s pizza for the first time last week. Although I didn’t intend to, I waited an hour for one of those $5 slices, out of curiosity, and then out of not wanting to feel like I’d wasted the time I’d already spent waiting. More fool me.
Yeah, the guy uses top shelf ingredients, but the slice comes drowned in olive oil. That’s an old trick that bad Chinese restaurants use, too–drown something in fat and it will always taste better, at least at first bite.
Never going back.
Its not good news for many people that those Post Offices might close, but I couldn’t help shake my head at the Post Office worker’s union representatives sudden concern for the effect on the quality of service offered to the public.
Yoicks!
