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

1. The Bacon Hamburger Fatty Melt, a Bacon Burger with Two Bacon-Stuffed Grilled Cheese Sandwiches as Bun
When we introduced The Hamburger Fatty Melt, the more minimalist, elegant version of the sandwich referenced above, all we heard was "Where's the bacon?" We're not above pandering, sometimes, so we made the Bacon Hamburger Fatty Melt. [from A Hamburger Today]

2. Top Ten Worst Halloween 'Candies'
Toothbrushes? DO NOT WANT. Raisins? FAIL! Candy corn? SUCK.

3. How Far Does Restaurant Loyalty Go?
After a bout of food poisoning from a favorite restaurant, Carey Jones asks, "Should our favorite restaurants be given a little lenience? Or is food poisoning one strike, and you're out?"

4. What Do Foodies Do?
"Now that we have foodie politics out of the way—what the heck do you guys do all day? I know there are some here and there who actually work in the food industry, but that hasn't seemed to be the norm. So besides loving food, what do you do? [from Talk]

5. Dear Serious Eats: 'I Have Searched for Years for This Recipe; Please Help'
"In the late 1980s I found a recipe in a magazine (Southern Living, I think). The only thing I remember was that it had to be cooked in an iron skillet. It was made with flour, sugar, and eggs, I think. It was thin, about 1/2 inch. After it was done, I put fresh strawberries on it. I have searched for years for this recipe. Please help."

6. Who's Hotter? Young Colicchio vs. Young Bourdain
"This is a toughie. Both were stud muffins in high school, but based on VFF (Voluminous Fluff Factor), we must hand it to Bourdain. That hair is just too good. Who would you have gone to the prom with?"

7. Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 36: Spousal Wisdom
"Earlier this week, my wife let me have it with both barrels. She told me that my love of food and my genetic predisposition for weight gain were not acceptable excuses. I took exception to her characterization of what she obviously thinks is my futile weight loss effort. It was a really difficult thing for me to sit through. I thought I was under attack. So what should I do? What in fact did I do?"

8. How to Drink Wine When Flying Solo on Business Travel
"When I'm on the road, I often eat at the bar. But I almost never eat at the hotel bar, or at a local watering hole. Instead, I head for one of the national chain restaurants that have full bar menus (like McCormick & Schmick's) or for a local restaurant known for excellent bar service (like Cindy's Backstreet Kitchen in Napa)."

9. Why Eat Cupcakes at Magnolia Bakery When Everything Else Is So Much Better?
There are way better things to eat at Magnolia Bakery than the cupcakes that Sex and the City fans line up for. [from Serious Eats New York]

10. Are Foodies Democrats or Republicans?
"Some people would classify this as 'personal' information and I'm sure I may catch some flack for how 'inappropriate' this post is, but wouldn't it be interesting to find that a great number of foodies on this site are leaning a particular way? Don't freak out, I'll start: Hi, my name is PumpkinBear..." [from Talk]
