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

1. Ben & Jerry's Chubby Hubby Renamed 'Hubby Hubby' in Support of Gay Marriage
The folks at Vermont-based ice cream–maker Ben & Jerry's have renamed their signature Chubby Hubby flavor "Hubby Hubby" to mark today's enactment of the state's new law that allows same-sex marriage.

2. What's the New Pizza Hut Stuffed Crust Pan Pizza Like? We Try It
"Honestly, if you've had a Pizza Hut Pan Pizza—even if it was when you were in 4th grade—you get the gist of this pizza. And let's be frank in regards to the newest addition to the Hut's classic: It's not a stuffed crust."

3. Cakespy: CupShake, a Cupcake Milkshake
"Cupcakes and ice cream—those twin quasars of deliciousness, those icons of dessert. Is there any way they could possibly get any better? Yes. By combining and blending them into a buttercreamy dream of a milkshake."

4. Cooking for someone on medical marijuana?
"I have a friend who is ill, as a result he has a medical marijuana card. I have made the ever popular brownies. Made some clarified butter with some the other day, what to do that would be palatable and comforting, also packed with some serious nutrition. Any ideas?"

5. Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 82: Peanut Butter Portion Control
"Does peanut butter's siren call reach out to others in the same way?"

6. Befriending Chefs/Restaurant Staff
"Sooooo the new place I'm moving into is literally 2 doors down from Alinea and has a clear view into the restaurant's kitchen (they have big windows on the side). I couldn't be more excited about this and am wondering if/how I could potentially strike up a relationship with some of the chefs there. It's juvenile, I know, but I am such a fan of their "work" and would love to get to know them over the next few years! What would you do? Considering a "I LOVE ALINEA!" sign for the side of my new place (kidding, kidding). Ideas? :)"

7. Frozen Shrimp: To Use or Not to Use?
A discussion on the merits of each.

8. Sneaking food into movies
"Yesterday before going to see Julie and Julia (loved it!) I headed down to the Copley Farmers market (where I will start working on Friday--please come visit, SE-ers!) and picked up a baguette and herbs de provence goat cheese, which I snuck into the theatre and enjoyed throughly while watching the movie. What kind of yummy snacks do you all (or don't you?) sneak into the movie theatres? Does it vary depending on what you're going to watch?"

9. Seriously Asian: The Passing Through Technique
"For better or worse, Chinese restaurants deep fry almost everything at some point. They commonly apply the “passing through” technique, or guo you, in which foods are briefly par-fried prior to more cooking. “Passing though” is a preliminary stage in the process but undeniably affects the end result."

10. Grilling: Mexican Roadside Chicken with Green Onions
"This chicken, which, at the time, was more of an afterthought, became the real star of the day. After a 45-minute cook over indirect heat, a picture-perfect, mahogany-skinned bird was revealed. The feast for the eyes quickly gave way to its succulent flavors—an earthy and acidic combination enlivened by the chicken's juiciness, all of which paired very nicely with the green onion and tomatillo salsa accompaniments."
