Today Serious Eats Is One!
Wow, I can't believe it. Today is Serious Eats' first birthday. A year ago we launched Serious Eats with the idea that the community of serious eaters around the globe needed a place to call their own online, where they could find out what's going on in the world of honest food and drink, get restaurant advice, find a recipe, watch a video, or just hang out and chew the fat with like-minded folks.
In our wildest dreams we never imagined that you would embrace us so quickly. The blogosphere has proved to be an especially hospitable place for everyone involved: the Serious Eaters working at world HQ, all our contributors, our fellow food bloggers, and the passionate, discerning members of our ever-growing community who live to share their passion for the pleasures afforded by delicious food and drink.
We can't begin to thank all of you who have made this past year so memorable for all of us, so please accept our profound, sincere thanks. A toast to Serious Eaters everywhere. Thanks for sharing your food enthusiasms with us. Long live Serious Eats and long live Serious Eaters everywhere!

Congratulations! I remember finding this Web site during a wire search at work (at a newspaper) early this year. This is the only site where I actively participate in making comments! I'm not a great cook and can't afford all the cool ingredients and gadgets I read about, but I love food and enjoy this site!

As Lucille Ball said, “the secret to staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age.” Happy Birthday, Serious Eats.

Wow. Only a year? And I thought I came late to the party! When I started posting a few months ago, I just assumed it was a site that had been around for ages, and that somehow it had just been slipping under my radar.
You've done a really great job to make seem like something that's always been here. And what a fantastic ability you have to attract the most fascinating and pleasant members. Double congrats!
LoCo at 8:04PM on 12/04/07
Hey, Serious Eaters. Thanks for all your good wishes. I feel like all of you have become part of the Serious Eats extended family. You all make it fun to come to work every day.
Ed Levine at 8:46PM on 12/04/07
Happy Birthday, and many more to come!
