Or, 'I'm Mad as Hell and I'm Not Going to Take This Anymore!' [Photograph: Cook's Illustrated] I've listened to all the heartfelt obits for Gourmet I can at this moment. My emotional and intellectual hard-drive is full. The final straw was Cook's Illustrated editor Chris Kimball's piece on the op-ed page of the New York Times this morning. Kimball's not-so-subtle, sledgehammer-like thesis: The ignorant, inexperienced, and untrained internet masses masquerading as journalists killed Gourmet. How do we plead, Mr. Kimball? Not guilty. Not in the least, as a matter of fact, as Hamilton Nolan so aptly noted on Gawker. Kimball in the Times: The shuttering of Gourmet reminds us that in a click-or-die advertising marketplace, one ruled by a million...

In the "Linking to your own blog" topic in Talk earlier today, arm1970 wanted help finding a link to a thread where SE'ers with blogs listed their blog names and URLs. I found it for arm, but ... There are actually A FREAKIN' TON of "blog" topics in the Talk archives—including several more "SE'er blog roll calls." I thought it would be fun to list them all here, after the jump ......

One Hungry Chef's DIY BLT flowchart. Earlier this summer, food writer Michael Ruhlman challenged his readers to make BLTs from scratch and to go as "from scratch" as possible. This morning, Ruhlman announced the winners on his site. Among various categories--Best BLT Photo, Best BLT Interpretation, Most Inspirational BLT--was the Best Over All BLT, made by Jared Dunnohew of One Hungry Chef. As his cool flow chart shows, Dunnohew did almost everything short of raising the pig and growing the wheat. He foraged in parks for herbs for the bread, the homemade mustard, and the pork cure. He harvested his own sea salt (25 liters of ocean water yields 1 kilogram of salt, he reports). He grew his own...

"The classic Wrecks are those that are misspelled, misunderstood, or trying way too hard to be creative." Since May of 2008, Jen Yates has been documenting moldy feet, pregnant bellies, and misplaced apostrophes spotted on cakes on her wildly popular blog Cake Wrecks. Very quickly, Jen has made a career out of ridiculous cakes. Her new blook (blog-turned-book?) Cake Wrecks: When Professional Cakes Go Hilariously Wrong comes out on October 1, and features a bunch of brand-new content. Yes, that means more creepy baby cakes! We chatted with Jen about the Cake Wrecks concept, what holidays are most wreckable, and more. So, let's start at the beginning. The Cake Wrecks creation story. It quite literally began with "The Cake That...

[The Pioneer Woman Cooks] When Ree Drummond of The Pioneer Woman Cooks says something is the best, I tend to believe her. Next time I want to make baked beans, I'll try this recipe for Quick Southern-Style Baked Beans from cookbook author Pam Anderson, which Ree declares "the best baked beans ever." In typical Pioneer Woman fashion, every step—from dicing the onions to layering bacon on top of the bean-filled casserole pan—is captured in a vibrant, mouthwatering photograph.

Nothing like a good ol' sporting goods store kegger to get the party started! Photograph from Keggers of Yore. I've never been to a kegger, but now I don't have to; I can just browse through the photos at Keggers of Yore and live vicariously through these nameless intoxicated partygoers! (Waning: some photos NSFW.) [via conky]...

Photograph from Bouchon For Two Mel of Bouchon For Two shares some helpful tips and a recipe on how to make her mom's Shanghainese-influenced wontons (which, judging from the photos, probably taste awesome) filled with seasoned pork, shrimp, and and flowering garlic chives. Since I'm an amateur when it comes to making homemade dumplings I didn't know the tips Mel includes in her post, such as combining two cuts of pork, and tempering the water three times while boiling the dumplings. Methinks a wonton-making party is in my future.

Fast food has been turned on its head by Fancy Fast Food, a blog that transforms items like the Popeye's chicken above into Spicy Chicken Sushi. There are detailed instructions for every dish so if you've ever been interested in turning a Taco Bell tortilla into tortellini, there's now a handy tutorial. If you have your own fancy fast food creations, you can submit them by e-mail as long as you stick to their rules: no additional ingredients other than a garnish, and no gratuitous post-processing in Photoshop.
