how to eat like a bird: vicarious feeding

Difara's Pizzeria from Chris on Vimeo.

I saw this ode to Di Fara's pizza posted on Slice and have watched it three times now, which is not as many times as I watched that You Tube clip of a baby panda sneezing, but this is longer and much more satisfying--especially for a girl off wheat and dairy for a couple of weeks.

You may think the stills alone would drive me delirious with longing and to curse the very day I thought of detox but, in fact, this video calms and lulls me into a positively beatific mood. Something about the timelessness of the atmosphere, how it's shot--the music and customers, Dom's craft, makes me trust that it will all be there long after my bout with wanting to be healthy. All in due time.

Disclosure: If I am to speak with frankness, I suggest people in the near vicinity get over there now because the man is not getting any younger. (Take the Q train to Ave. J in Brooklyn; they are at 1424 Ave. J.) Save some slices to take home, and eat at midnight.
