PrintHow did you first hear of serious eats?
Quite a great community here.
I really value what people have to say.
I must admit I owe my love for Serious eats to Adam who started the AHT site...
While I love serious Eats I miss the updating on AHT...but a man can only go so far....
Who introduced you to serious eats or how did you stumble upon it?

I always read food blogs. So many of them that I cannot remember which one gave me the pre release url to SE. All I recall is thinking wow ground floor with Ed and Adam. Won't I be food blog cutting edge? Who would have thunk it? It is 2 am and where am I? Here!

A newcomer, I came in about six months ago through a link from The Amateur Gourmet. Bet he's sorry; I now have Serious Eats Talk set as one of my homepages! I jump backwards into Serious Eats Home...

I heard about it from Amateur Gourmet, this was back before the website was even up and running. I've loved this site since it began!

I was investigating blogger software and saw Serious Eats featured on the Movabletype.com home page. Been an addict ever since!

FYI, I just added the zen kitchen to my favorites list to visit regularly. Making european-style butter sold me...

As I remember it was a combination of AG, Ed Levine & Epicurious. SE is truly addictive---good, clean fun! Getting to know all the regular commentors, sharing quirky as well as helpful info, many insightful thoughts expressed & links to bloggers sites are only a few of my reasons why I appreciate SE :)

About a year ago, I was searching the LA Times-Washington Post wire at work, and I clicked on the "web site of the week." This was it, and I've been hooked ever since!

I don't have a clue how I discovered SE, but if I'd have to guess it'd be from Ed's site.
Dee at 5:16PM on 09/26/07
Reddit. I saw an article online that was linked to this site. I have been hooked ever since. : )

From AHT - I think I googled "hamburgers" or "hamburger recipes" or something like that... so glad I did!

I think from Epicurious...I check SE daily...Epicurious when looking for specific recipes.

I found you through A Hamburger Today, but had also seen other mentions, finally just HAD to see what it was about. I like the variety offered here, all sorts of interesting things that land here just because they are good.

You really want to know? I am being stalked by someone who enjoys impersonating me on the web. He's been at it for two years. Serious Eats was one of the sites where he registered as me, then proceeded to post a series of...shall we say "unflattering" posts about me or referring to me. He then e-mailed me references to those posts. When I came here to straighten things out, I found I really liked the site. I joined but used a zero in my name instead of the customary "o" in chiffonade.
This is a really informative site and I'm enjoying it very much, despite my reasons for discovering it!

I think I was googling cobbler recipes and found a hysterical entry on Amateur Gourmet. Decided to check out his links, and voila! It's a great little site!
LoCo at 3:44PM on 10/16/07
I think I found it as a link from 'Holly Eats.'
Michigander at 12:04AM on 10/18/07
I was referred by a fellow poster from eGullet.

Discovered it today! I've just got a food blog up and running this week (http://blogcheyanne.blogspot.com/) and was looking more closely into the food blog community.
Wish I had found this site earlier! It's great.

I Googled "Best Food Blogs" and Serious Eats for listed under the 2007 Webblog Awards site as one of the best. So here I am.

I was not even looking for a food blog, but came across it when I was searching for something recently (I don't remember what). It came up in the search results, and I've been hooked ever since! I only wish I had found it sooner...Thanks everyone for sharing your love of food with me!
luswim06 at 10:06PM on 11/18/07
Ah yes, I remember it well. Watched an appalling episode of Semi-Homemade Cooking with Sandra Lee (I agree, they are all appalling) on the Food Network and decided to google her name so I could find a place to vent. I've been a huge fan ever since. Of your website, not HER! ;)

I was freaking out at work because it was the day before I was leaving for vacation in France and I was so worried that I wouldn't be able to find a place to eat. My co-worker suggested posting to Talk on Serious Eats and I've been hooked ever since. And yes, France was wonderful and yummy!

A link from the Mario site. I bought the Mario/Copco risotto pan and the cast iron skillet and was looking for the link to the products page. Found this instead. This is my first night here...love it already!

I first heard of Serious Eats on eGullet in a little post on the Chicago board. It was by someone mentioning the Amateur Gourmet and the new site.
At first the name scared me. Serious Eats sounded too serious for me, but I was assured that seriously Serious Eats was not scarily Serious.
I'm very glad to have found it. I like the idea of being a Serious Eater.
Never could stand the idea of being a "eGulleteer". Talk about seriously scary. Heh.

I saw Ed speak at the Gourmet Institute even in October.

I heard Ed Levine on one of Martha Stewart's Sirius radio shows. I was impressed and intrigued and couldn't wait to get home and check out Serious Eats. I'm so glad I did. What a great community! Thanks for all the tips.
I've been trying to convince my niece to apply to Serious Eats to work as an intern. She's a darling 35 year old who lives in Manhattan and has worked in the restaurant world for many years. She's cute, intelligent, articulate, upbeat, loves to cook and knows her way around the computer. She needs a push......any suggestions??????

I picked up the link off eGullet.
