Our New Tweet Spot

If you haven't noticed it, I figured I'd call your attention to our new "tweet spot" on the homepage of Serious Eats. The latest tweet from our Twitter stream now appears at the bottom of the upper right hand feature box. We use Twitter in a variety of ways, but if you're not on Twitter yourself or are not following us (and, really, why aren't you?!?), you may be missing out on the fact that it's become a bit of a supplemental microblog for us. We often post links there that we're thinking about blogging on the homepage or that, for whatever reason, may not ever appear on the homepage but are still interesting, funny, or useful. So hit our...

You'll need to be signed in to your Serious Eats account to save your favorites. If you don't have a Serious Eats account yet, go ahead...

Happy Birthday to Us: Serious Eats Is 2

"Thank you, Serious Eats community." ©iStockphoto.com/robynmac A few years ago I had a dream. About creating an online clubhouse for food, a place that serious eaters could come to share their food enthusiasms. A place serious eaters could come to find out what's going in the world of food and drink, find a recipe, look at a cool food video, get restaurant advice, and, best of all, chew the fat with like-minded folks. Two years ago today, on December 4, 2006, that dream, Serious Eats, became a reality. Now that we're 2, we're pretty precocious. We're doing a lot more than walking and talking. We've become home base for millions of passionate, discerning, and inclusive food lovers all over the...
