'Chopped' Season Premiere Rechat

I do think the results would have turned out completely different if all of the judges were 90 years old and knew that Shirley Temple joint.

Cooking Classes in NYC

It's not technically a *cooking* class, but I took a great class on butchering a pig at the Brooklyn Kitchen which Alaina wrote up on SE:NY. That was a blast, and I'd recommend it to anyone.

Top 10 Songs Using Sexually Suggestive Food Metaphors

Perhaps when Kells stops the song cold in order to shout, acapella, "GIRL I AM REA-DY TO TOSS YOUR SA-LAD", he was being too subtle?

Also, Prince's "Cream" being omitted? That ain't right! What about James Brown's "Mother Popcorn"? There are so many omitted here.

Historic Shuttle Mission Sends First Bagels into Space

It was news when the first dog went into space. It was news when the first man went into space. So, too, is it news when the first bagel goes into space. Next, Lox on the moon!

In Videos: Andy Rooney on Fruit

Andy Rooney fans represent! I was really afraid he was gonna go negative on mangoes and I was going to have to choose between two beloved mainstays of my childhood, but it turned out alright.

Wilber's Barbecue

Holy crap Wilber's was good. It's almost impossible to express why it's so good, but just *seeing* the pictures made me happy and hungry.

Emergency Food Kit: For When the Going Gets (Really) Tough

I love that song Bakon did with Gwen Stefani.

Oh, wait.

Welcome to the New Serious Eats

Congrats, Serious Eats team! This looks like the best version yet of the best food site on the web, and one of my favorite communities of any kind. Can't wait to see what you all cook up next -- I've already got "eating out" bookmarked. :)

What's your best oxtails recipe?

It's not really a *recipe*, per se, but I documented my first attempt at oxtails and I was quite happy with how it turned out.

Additional health warnings that we should adddress.

Having an ax to grind doesn't seem that persuasive, even to those who are sympathetic to the points you're making. Dragging in politics that are going to be even more polarizing makes it seem more like you're trying to harangue people, not warn them about what you see as a health issue.

Your post seems wildly out of sync with the tone and content of the rest of the contributions on the site -- maybe there's a more constructive/productive way to discuss these topics that you're obviously so passionate about?

Question of the Day: What's the best food song?

Censorship

"I don't want the Serious Eats owners telling me what I can say or read"

And they're not. So looks like everybody should be happy here -- let's eat! :D

This is supposed to be "Serious Eats?!"

The thing I love about this site is that it's not Pretentious Eats, it's Serious Eats. I love food, and eating, but I'm not educated on the topic and love feeling like I'm not being dismissed just because I come at this from the perspective of an enthusiast, instead of being an expert. I find all of the healthiest, most vibrant communities on the web are those that respectfully welcome new members, and I've appreciated that even my presence here as a lurker is accepted.

The only thing I'd change is that there be more content on the site. :)

Where to eat in Austin around 6th Street?

There's only one place on 6th I really like (the rest are scattered around town) and that's the Boiling Pot.

It's on 6th at Sabine, and it's the best possible way to eat seafood at SXSW. :)

Love the site, hate the color scheme?

I don't love the color palette either, but I'm excited that there's changes coming up and glad that the Serious Eats team is so open to feedback. :)

30 Days of Pork

As a fellow San Franciscan-looking-east, raised in Eastern Pennsylvania, fan of Incanto, Amanda's project has made me extremely happy. Shout out to all my pigs we lost along the way!

Where can I find a knife skills class in San Francisco?

Shuna's knife skills class was one of the defining moments for me going from being someone who eats to becoming a serious eater. I wrote a bit about it some months later.

What are the best ratio's for fresh ground burgers?

I've only just started experimenting with different ratios, based on the (possibly apocryphal) mix of chateaubriand and brisket at Shake Shack, and a 40% brisket mix was actually not too far from right.
