Adam Kuban (born 1974 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin) was the editor and founding publisher of Slice NY, a weblog devoted to the subject of pizza.[1] He was "one of the early single-subject food bloggers", according to Bloomberg.[2] Raised in the suburbs of Kansas City, Kuban's father opened his own pizzeria in Kansas in the early 1980s but only lasted for a year and a half after Pizza Hut opened across the street.[2] Kuban pursued a career in journalism, beginning as a copy editor for his college newspaper, the University Daily Kansan at the University of Kansas. He is also the founding publisher and current editor of A Hamburger Today, a similar weblog that reviews and analyzes trends in the hamburger world. In October 2006, Kuban sold Slice and A Hamburger Today to Serious Eats, a start-up food site founded by food writer Ed Levine that is focused on sharing food enthusiasm through blogs and online community.[3] Kuban now serves as editor emeritus of Serious Eats.

After years into blogging Kuban quit and started making pizzas. He erected a pop-up called Margot's located at Emily in Brooklyn's Clinton Hill and plans to make it a permanent restaurant.[2][4]
