This Week's Tasty 10

Posted by Adam Kuban, September 13, 2008 at 9:00 AM

According to our handy site-metering utility, the top 10 most delicious items on Serious Eats this week were:

1. Crazy Craigslist Cookie Ad
"The rent is $1 per month, utilities included, as long as you bake me fifty (50) tasty cookies every day by 6 p.m."

2. Restaurant Shirts Are the New Concert Tee
"Rules keep me from expanding the collection too much. For example, I think it's weird to wear a restaurant shirt in the restaurant's hometown. Not sure why that is, but it probably stems from my 13-year old urge to avoid wearing a Guns N' Roses shirt to a Guns N' Roses concert."

3. Fresh & Easy? Not So Simple
"The new market chain, owned by British giant Tesco, is like the love child of Trader Joe's and Whole Foods and looks like a culinary Ikea."

4. Help Me Pack My Lunch, Please—A Super Challenge
"I am in desperate need of easy ideas for lunches for me + bf, but this is a special challenge. We work full-time days and are full-time students at night." [from Talk]

5. Poutines Deathmatch: La Banquise vs. Patati Patata
"After many jokes about the word poutine, we decided that the dish Montreal is famous for, made of fries, gravy, and cheese curds, was the equivalent of chili cheese fries in the U.S."

6. Why Isn't Chinese Food Hip?
"... many excellent American chefs are more likely to find inspiration in other Asian cuisines, namely Japan, Thailand, and Korea."

7. Healthy and Delicious: Fresh Corn Salad
"Sweet and crisp, it’s a stellar side dish for sandwiches, grilled meats, and other summer fare. Plus, it only costs around $2, and that’s never a bad thing." [from Recipes]

8. Break Up Food/ Emotional Food
"Well, my douche of an ex broke up with me. Actually, correction, had his friend text-message me to say we were broken up.... I dont eat when I'm really emotional, sad, angry etc., so, serious eaters, what foods have gotten you through your worst emotional times?" [from Talk]

9. Los Angeles Area Burger Roundup
"As a friend who lives in L.A. stated, "NYC has pizza; we have burgers." Indeed, the proliferation of burger spots across the L.A. landscape is heartening for any lover of America's favorite sandwich." [from A Hamburger Today]

10. How to Make a Pizza-Themed Cake
"Strawberry jam stood in for sauce, grated white chocolate was sprinkled on top for cheese. We then cut thin strawberry fruit roll-ups into circles for 'pepperoni'" [from Slice]
