Editor's note: Please say hello to one of our newest all-star interns, Allison. She is already on fire, photographing and blogging. We are so happy to have her—especially when she picks up ice cream en route to work from the Bent Spoon in Princeton, New Jersey! Thanks again for that chocolate Earl Grey flavor, Allison!

Editor's note: And so we continue the getting-to-know-you routine with the folks behind Serious Eats. Today, we give the treatment to SE intern Hannah Howard, who's with us for the summer.

Editor's note: I always love finding out more about the folks behind the websites I read.

Gordon is the man behind the awesome NYC Chinatown guides on Serious Eats New York, he's our resident video game guru, and he's the guy keeping you up to date on what to watch on food TV. So without further ado, here's Gordon! —Adam Name: Gordon Mark Location:...
