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.

Great Chicago food finds: Michael Nagrant lists some food-find odds and ends that he hasn't been able to work into one of his columns. He touches on Superior Italian Bakery, Bleu Mont Cheddar, E-San sausage at Ben's Noodle and Rice, and Philly's Best Cheesesteak.

Choriz-oh! Dinner Tonight's Nick Kindelsperger makes fresh Mexican sausage at home "Little did I know that making fresh sausage requires very little skill, knowledge, or talent," he says. "And it's unbelievably cheap. Of course, this only applies to fresh sausage."

Gettin' vermouthy: Our man of mixology Paul Clarke explores vermouth as part of the Mixology Monday cocktail-blog event. With three cocktail recipes!

A Favorite Cha Siew: Serious Eats New York contributor Gordon Mark on his all-time favorite cha siew at Wing Wong: "It’s a very simple dish where they just chop up some roast pork and throw it with some white rice on a dish. When it’s a mix of fat and lean meat it tastes perfect."

Pizza on Earth: Serious Eats New York contributor Kathy Chan has gone pizza crazy, hitting up four different pizzerias in this post that covers Di Fara, Grimaldi's, Artichoke, and Vinny Vincenz.

Pointed words: Cooking with Kids contributor Matthew Amster-Burton has gone knife crazy. In researching an article he's writing, he says, "Basically, I started out thinking I’d tell the world about how to choose the best knife, and now I’m wondering whether any knife is better than any other, and where and when my own knife quest should end."

Go Local: Our S.F. correspondent Jennifer Maiser also edits the blog Eat Local Challenge, where they're gearing up for their fourth annual challenge. Participants sign up at the website and try to stay local for 30 days.

Hasta la vino: Serious Grape's Deb Harkness considers what wine would be appropriate for an election-watching party.
