Serious Eats
This Week in Eating Out

Beaches and Burgers: At Ruby's Diner in Newport Beach, California, Damon Gambuto got to gaze out at the Pacific Ocean and eat a burger at the same time.
Perfect Croissants: Carey Jones is not afraid to call The Little Chef in Princeton, New Jersey, the croissant mecca.
Asian Escargot: Long before the French ate snails, the Vietnamese put them on their vermicelli, like what Wan Yan Ling had at Saigon Seafood in San Jose, California.
Chicago's Best Corn Flan: Michael Nagrant has been sending friends, whenever he can, to Boka for pastry chef Elizabeth Dahl's desserts—especially the corn flan with blackberries.
Australia, By Way of San Diego: Colin Parent did not pick off the pickled beets on his Australian-style burger at The Linkery.
