Hope everyone had an excellent meal on the greatest American food day of the year. It’s been a quiet week in food news as it seems everyone was more interested in turkey.

DCist Food alum Erin Zimmer has an excellent recipe from Butterfield 9’s chef Michael Harr for leftover cranberry sauce muffins. Mmm…

Pizza Mania
Looks like it’s another pizza week in D.C. – everyone is covering pizza. From DCist’s review of Pizza Zero, to WaPo covering Tony’s in Manassas and Moroni and Brothers in Petworth and City Paper doing an abridged pizza roundup — everyone has been going nuts over brick-oven pizza. Can we now all agree to move on from the anorexic pizzas, and as some of our commenters have asked, get some Chicago deep-dish? C’mon enterprising, down-home D.C. chefs, let’s get some of that heavenly, dense gooeyness to keep us warm by next winter.
