Welcome to the New Serious Eats

Posted by Alaina Browne, July 17, 2007 at 10:45 PM

Welcome to the new Serious Eats! Same content, same great conversations, wrapped in a shiny new design with a few new cool features. Many of the changes are based on feedback we've heard from you, and we're eager to hear what you think. This is just the beginning, more changes will come based on your feedback, and we'll be posting more information on what's new on the site.

Easier to find
We've kept what you love about Serious Eats, and made it easier to discover what you might have been missing before. We've launched two brand-new site sections, Eating Out and Recipes.

Our redesigned home page gives you a complete view of everything that's new across the Serious Eats universe. Here you'll find the latest from:

• New! Eating Out: Dining advice, restaurant recommendations, and related news. Have dining advice to share or need a restaurant recommendation? Post it to Talk > Eating Out.
• New! Recipes: Our new section featuring a unique take on our favorites and our weekly Cook the Book feature. As our collection grows, we'll be adding functionality to make it easier to browse, search, and save your favorites. Need a recipe, or want to share one? Post it to Talk > In the Kitchen.
• Required Eating: Our main blog, updated continuously throughout the day
• Talk: The food forum and community for Serious Eaters
• Videos: Tons of original programming you can't see anywhere else
• News and Updates from our team's blogs: Ed Levine Eats, A Hamburger Today, and Slice.
• Site search powered by Google: It's easier to find exactly what you are looking for whether it's where to eat in Paris, tasty chicken breast recipes, or where to buy special ingredients.

Easier to share
Now it's even easier to share your favorite stories, posts, and talk topics. You can:

• Print a printer-friendly version of page
• Email it to a friend
• Share a link via one of these popular link sharing services: del.icio.us - Digg - Facebook - Reddit - StumbleUpon

We need your help getting the word out to an even bigger audience of Serious Eaters — don't be shy about sharing the site with your friends and family!

Technical notes and sending us your feedback
We've tested the new design to work with any common computer, but it's always possible we missed something. If you find any strange bugs, or anything looks broken, please let us know in the comments.

Thank yous
Special thanks to the Serious Eats team who have put in many long nights and weekends to make this happen. A lot of the changes are invisible to readers but keep the site running smoothly and lay the groundwork for future site features and improvements. Special shout-out to Raphael, our uber-talented and tireless web developer. None of this would have been possible without him. Thanks also to our technology partner, Apperceptive. And finally, thanks to Mike Monteiro and Mule Design who worked with us on visual design — these folks just get it.

Stay Tuned
There are even more improvements across the site — we'll be posting more soon to help you find out about what's new in Talk and how it's easier than ever to follow Serious Eats.
