Sometimes I just make pizza as an excuse to listen to

Most pizzerias use one master dough.

At our Pizza Tasting Residency in Hicksville, I make 8 completely different regional pizza doughs… paired with 8 carefully curated wines inside an actual working winery.

Roman. Neapolitan. New Haven. Sicilian. Alla Pala. Chicago and more.

Including pours of Second Act — a wine my family and I produce together.

This isn’t a pizza night.
It’s a guided tasting experience built around dough, fermentation, wine, and storytelling.

🍷 June 18 — 20 seats left
🍷 July 15 — 30 seats left

Perfect for couples, friends, and anyone obsessed with food.

I got rejected everywhere.

Record labels. Booking agencies. Music companies.

By August of 1990, my friends all had jobs. I was playing trumpet in a wedding band on weekends wondering what the hell I was going to do with my life.

Then one company called me back because the person they hired instead of me quit.

That single moment changed everything.

A jazz trumpet major became a booking agent.
A booking agent became a comedy manager.
A comedy manager became a tour manager.
A tour manager became a television producer.
A television producer became a bread baker.

This week’s MONDAY ESSAY is about rejection, reinvention, Denis Leary, Adam Sandler, Hollywood, sourdough, and how almost none of the meaningful parts of my career were planned.
