The project of a New Yorker aiming to feast on every oily orange-and-white-mottled triangle of dough his city offers,
Slice Harvester is the latest in a long parade of Internet whimsies we have enjoyed. The site acknowledges a lot of food scene trends: urban foraging, or at least, in the site's title, language suggestive of it, the celebration of cheap, humble eats frequently eaten streetside while drunk, and the unabashed asking for startup money on the Internet. Yes, the man who promises to eat a slice at every pizzeria in New York City wants donations to help fund his effort:
If you enjoy Slice Harvester and read regularly, please consider donating as little as $2.50 per month to help me pay for all this pizza. If you donate $5 and up you will receive a complimentary copy of the following issue of Slice Harvester Quarterly, as well as a mention in that issue as an Eggplant Parm Patron. Donations of $10+ will be listed as a Meatball Sandwich Saint, $20+ gets you a coveted spot as a Chicken Parm Champion, and $50+ you become a Whole Pie, Ride or Die, Most Fly Guy in NY!
We hope he gets a book deal, and it turns out to be a fat, 300-page volume consisting only of sumptuous color photos of drippy slices soaking through paper plates. We'd put that on our coffee table along with All Known Metal Bands.
