Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 96: Can There Be Moral Victories for Serious Dieters?
Thanksgiving leftovers, a latke and brisket-filled Chanukah party, a chocolate chip cookie tasting, and last night's ten-course meal—help! Thanksgiving leftovers by themselves are a buttery, greasy, slippery slope when it comes to serious dieting. Nothing good can come of availing yourself of the copious amounts of mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, stuffing, and worst of all, pie. But then in my case, I add diet insult to injury by throwing in another early Chanukah party's worth of fattening leftovers into the mix. Needless to say, it wasn't a pretty week. Let me explain. We had my wife's family over on Thanksgiving at 2 p.m., which means we're digging into leftovers by Thursday night. But because I was weighing in on Friday...Weekend Cook and Tell Round Up: Thanksgiving Post Game Recap
Sweet Potato Cupcake Roses, one of kirbie's seven desserts. [Photograph: kirbiecravings.com] Now that Thanksgiving is behind us and the leftovers have been creatively dealt with or discarded, let's talk about our Thanksgiving meals objectively. Last week for our Weekend Cook and Tell challenge we asked all of you to share your Thanksgiving successes and do-overs for next year. Here are some of our favorite stories: Trilby's Thanksgiving for three didn't warrant an entire turkey, so J. Kenji Lopez-Alt's Turkey Stuffed Turkey was the perfect solution. The bird-within-a-bird was a success and the carcass was simmered for perfect gravy. kirbie has never been one to shy away from a cooking challenge. She was put in charge of desserts for her...What Was Your Biggest Thanksgiving Victory?
[Photo: Robyn Lee] Now that you've digested your Thanksgiving dinner (we hope), let's all take a moment to pat ourselves on the back. We spend so much time preparing for holidays that we rarely stop to celebrate all we do. For my brother, the biggest Thanksgiving victory was turning his home office into a gorgeous dining room fit for a feast. For Ed, it may have been sticking to his serious diet and breaking even at his incredibly brave weigh-in the day after Thanksgiving. For me? I made a vegan stuffing (fine, dressing) that was not only edible, but absolutely delicious—even the non-vegans had seconds. What about you? What are you most proud of this Thanksgiving?...Hot Dog of the Week: Thanksgiving Dog
"Thanksgiving dinner on a hot dog bun." [Original artwork: Hawk Krall] Past Weeks' Dogs 24th & Passyunk TruckTexas TommyPhilly Dirty Water DogChicago Dog I've been racking my brain, trying to come up with a Thanksgiving-related Hot Dog of the Week, hoping that someone somewhere had concocted a seasonal haute dog. Maybe venison sausage with pumpkin aioli or Kobe beef corn dogs with cranberry dipping sauce? Then a vision of a dog piled high with classic Thanksgiving sides materialized in my mind. "Wow, that would be amazing if somebody did that, ha," I thought to myself. Turns out Dirty Frank's Hot Dog Palace in Columbus, Ohio, did. I wrote about Dirty Frank's earlier this year soon after they opened. Owner Liz...Video: How to Store Your Thanksgiving Leftovers
Did you store your Thanksgiving leftovers correctly? Shoving a giant pile of turkey, mashed potatoes, and cranberry sauce into your fridge isn't correct. Chow has some tips on how to make sure it doesn't look like Thanksgiving exploded in your fridge: put different dishes in different containers. Hopefully you knew that already. Watch the video after the jump....Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 95: Weighing In The Day After Thankgiving
Am I brave or just stupid? At the Serious Eats staff meeting this week, I announced that I was going to post about my diet on Thanksgiving Day instead of today, Friday, the day after, for obvious reasons. My pronouncement was met by derisive snorts and laughter. Everyone here at HQ knew I didn't want to face Thinner and all of you the day after Turkey Day, also known as Serious Dieter Armageddon. But I am going to show all the HQ dwellers that when it comes to facing down what can only be described as public humiliation of the worst sort, I am not afraid. Serious eaters, I come before you and Thinner and my maker the day after...Critic-Turned-Cook Gives Thanks to the Pros Cooking Today
[Illustration: Robyn Lee] [Photograph: Leslie Kelly] Today, I am so grateful for the legions of men and women who are working in professional kitchens. While the rest of us are at home with friends and family, sipping on an adult beverage (make mine a Sea Breeze, please) and waiting on that turkey, millions of professional cooks will be working their tails off. That's life on the line, right? So many things "civilians" take for granted are part of the routine in the restaurant business. Like working nights and weekends and having split days off. Adam Stevenson, the chef at Earth & Ocean at the W Hotel in Seattle, can't remember the last holiday he had off. Scheduling can be...Happy Thanksgiving, Serious Eaters

[Photograph: Jason Reed/Reuters at Christian Science Monitor] Today, President Obama and his family pardoned a turkey named Courage to live the rest of its life in Disneyland, reports The Washington Post. Presidential turkey pardonings were first made official 20 years ago with President George H.W. Bush, although turkeys and U.S. presidents have shared the spotlight before then. The Christian Science Monitor has more about the history of the turkey-pardoning tradition....Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
