    A small business owner in Athens, Georgia, is taking matters into her own hands to change local politics, demanding transparency in the community after the murder of nursing student Laken Riley. Sidney Anne Waters, who owns Mama Sid's Pizza, joined "Fox & Friends First" to discuss why she decided to throw her hat in the ring to become part of the Athens-Clarke County Commission. "I... all of a sudden... had a reality check... There are a lot of us in Athens that really didn't know what our government was doing... The day before… qualifying ending, I decided I would go...

    NEW YORK CITY - New York City is requiring coal-fired and wood stoves to cut their emissions by 75% and they must accomplish this no later than April 27th. The requirement affects about 130 pizzerias across the city - and sparked outrage when first introduced last year. FOX 5 NY spoke with Adem Brija from the original Patsy’s location on 1st Avenue off 177th Street, here since 1933. Brija said it will be a significant cost. "I’ve seen a big range, but I’ve seen it for no less than $20,000 - as high as $100,000 and a system like this...

    Hold the pepperoni and red pepper, this pie is spicy enough — and comes with topped with extra beef. As Detroit-style pizza gains popularity across the country hardened New Yorkers are balking at the incursion on their thin-crusted foldable slices – even as one local pie-slinger told The Post the thick-crusted Detroit style is “very trendy right now” even in the Big Apple. “Who was a part of that? Not real New Yorkers!” Brooklynite Roberto, 36, said of declaring Detroit-style new king. “Who wants to bite down on a pile of dough? No way,” he railed The Post outside of...

    By Nicolas Vega,CNBC • Published February 17, 2024 • Updated on February 17, 2024 at 11:17 am New York City has long been known for two things: being expensive and its pizza. Now, it's known for its expensive pizza. The five boroughs are officially home to the priciest pizza in the nation, according to new research from Clever Real Estate. A large cheese pizza in the Big Apple will cost you $28.60 on average, according to the research. That's nearly double what a plain pie will run you in Richmond, Virginia, the home of the country's cheapest pizza, where the...
  • Forget Pineapple on Pizza. Does Peanut Butter Belong on a Cheeseburger? We Did a Taste Test

    MSN ^ | 2/12 | John Tufts, Katie Wiseman and Bradley Hohulin
    let's put aside the great debate on whether pineapple goes on pizza (it does, but that's not important right now). Peanut butter... does it pair well with bacon? What about a cheeseburger? How about both? Sonic apparently thought so. In January, the fast food franchise offered a peanut butter bacon cheeseburger for between $6-7 and, nutty enough, tossed in a peanut butter bacon shake as a drink option. Both were available for a limited time and are no longer available on the menu. Maybe that's for the best. The calories alone are as high as our skepticism. Peanut butter already...

  • Is There Really A Difference Between Pizza Sauce And Marinara?

    Tasting Table ^ | FEB. 6, 2024 | Matthew Spina
    It can be easy to slip into the idea that there is no difference between pizza sauce and marinara. There are a lot of different tomato sauces out there (it is one of the principal parts of Italian cuisine after all) and the ways the ingredients and preparation vary between each one can be very small. You might understand that arrabbiata sauce is spicy from red pepper, but what in the world is the difference between any of those other tomato sauce choices and pomodoro? Pizza sauce seems like even more of a misnomer since you could put any number...

    Culinary critics took a bite out of President Biden after an unappetizing “Detroit-style” pizza was served aboard Air Force One on Thursday while Biden was returning from a campaign trip to Michigan. “The Air Force One dinner tonight after the Michigan trip: Detroit-style pizza,” Bloomberg White House reporter Josh Wingrove posted on X following Biden’s swing-state appearance alongside auto union workers. But the presidential version of the Motor City’s signature deep dish, rectangular pizza barely had any mozzarella cheese or tomato sauce — and Wingrove merely nibbled at the edges before snapping a picture of the display. “Mom Joe Biden...

    Tomato pie (New Jersey-style) is a thin-crusted dish that inverts the typical pizza's "sauce on the bottom, cheese on top" formula, and it is basically pizza in reverse. Dating back to the 19th century, this dish is derived from Sicilian pizza and is typically found in Sicilian-American communities

    Israel destroyed a pizzeria in the West Bank town of Huwara after it used an image of an elderly woman who was held captive by Hamas in an advert, The Telegraph reported. The advert seemed to mock the woman, who appears next to an image of a pizza with accompanying text detailing an offer for a family-sized pizza, The Messenger reported. The woman, an elderly Holocaust survivor, was one of up to 150 hostages taken by Hamas following its surprise wave of attacks on October 7. In a video following her capture, the woman can be seen with a machine...

    Israel has destroyed a Palestinian pizzeria that used a picture of an elderly woman held hostage by Hamas in its advertising. A bulldozer was seen flattening the pizzeria, called Eiffel Bakery and Supermarket, in footage recorded in the West Bank town of Huwara. The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) central command gave the order to destroy the building. The pizzeria’s advertisement appeared to mock an elderly woman snatched by terrorists during Hamas’s invasion of Israel, featuring her image alongside a picture of a pizza.

As the two distance themselves, the employee swings a punch at the man who dodges it and immediately returns with a volley of wild punches. The black man moves forward and knocks the employee to the ground as two other employees, including a female...
