Day 30, 2002: Morgan Stanley Cafeteria (Midtown, NYC)

DAY 30: October 30th LOCATION: Morgan Stanley Cafeteria (Broadway and 46th st, NYC) GUEST: Erik Tanouye, Andrew Butterworth ORDER: half a sicilian slice of marguarite, half a sicilian slice of mushroom, half a sicilian slice of pepperoni and sausage PIZZA REPORT: Corporate corruption...of pizza. All three of my slices of pizza were in the oven too long resulting in charred undersides, brittle crust, and an overdone aftertaste. That being said, the slice of marguarite still easily passed my 'threshold of tastiness'. The basil, tomatoes, and fresh mozzarella cheese combined to form a delicious ensemble atop the overdone crust. The toppings, in general, at the Morgan Stanley Cafeteria were great, however, the meat and mushroom slices just weren't good enough to enter the 'threshold of tastiness' I mentioned earlier. MISC.: Andrew Butterworth enjoyed the artwork in the MS cafeteria, particularly the portrait of a gigantic jelly donut. Erik Tanouye admitted that if he were a Biblical figure, he'd be Noah. He also admitted (and proved through enclosed documentation*) that he has eaten pizza on 25 of 30 possible days in October.
