Sampler Platter: What Our Contributors Got Up to This Week
Our weekly contributors on Serious Eats have blogs of their own. If you like them here, you'll like them there. Here's what they've been up to this week. Give 'em your clicks.
Reunited: It's a reunion of sorts for the Dinner Tonight guys. Blake Royer visits Nick Kindelsperger. Blake goes on a serious eating spree, and Nick sets about pickling cucumbers (with step-by-step photos and how-to).
Campsite Cuisine: L.A. correspondent Leah Greenstein says we work too hard and play too little. So what does she do? Goes to work in the kitchen preparing homemade granola bars for her upcoming camping vacation. With recipe!
Urban Bellyache: Our man in Chicago Mike Nagrant checks in with an ixnay on Urban Belly, the joint that the Chicago food scene has annointed "as the Second Coming." Says Mike: "It’s not that the food at Urban Belly isn’t good. It’s that it’s just not great." He does think the lamb and brandy dumplings there, though, are worth the trip alone.
Beating the Wine Blahs: Deb Harkness (Serious Grape) samples a pack of blogger-curated wine from online wine-seller Domaine547. "It's like having a friend you trust serve as your guest sommelier for the evening."
Mighty Flavor: San Francisco correspondent Jennifer Maiser receives a package of containers marked "Goo," "Yuk," and "Gag." What was in them? Marmite: "Goo was original marmite, then Yuk was champagne marmite, and Gag was Guiness marmite. I think I am a marmite convert and will be buying a little brown jar for myself sometime soon."
Fat Chance: Cooking with Kids correspondent Matthew Amster-Burton is digging Jennifer McLagan's new cookbook, Fat: "Wow, talk about a niche product. Would you buy a whole cookbook about animal fat? I would, but I suspect there are few like me. Prove me wrong."
Date with Ikea: Serious Eats New York contributor Kathy Chan gets back from her weekend in D.C. and goes to the Swedish furniture retailer for meatballs.
