Where else do you food surf?
Serious Eats is by far my favorite and most frequented food site. Great content and a truly phenomenal member community. What more could a food lover want? But, I must confess, I do read and/or post on other food boards. When I'm not food surfing here, I like to visit the blogs of other Serious Eaters, and I check out the sites recommended by Serious Eats. I also like CookingForEngineers.com and ChefTalk.com, and sometimes you'll find me at ChowHound or Zagat.
So I'm curious. Which sites make up YOUR virtual food universe?

I also visit many of the Serious Eaters blogs and recommended sites. In addition, I visit egullet forums, chowhound, epicurious, grub street, etc. Serious Eats is my most frequented site by far and that is due to the amazing community here.

I read individual food blogs like Amateur Gourmet, Orangette, and Gluten-Free Girl (great for even those who can eat gluten). I also like the Food & Wine and Epicurious websites for mass-recipe searches.
SE is the best though!

Thanks for sharing the sites you like to go to! I'm always looking for new ones.

eGullet is a good site, but they're somewhat, shall we say, "retentive"?

@srhcb - agreed, sometimes very much so!

Daily stops include SE, Tastespotting and a list of favorite food blogs. Less frequent but still very regular stops include a rather longer list of food blogs as well as egullet, chowhound, epicurious, etc.

I used to visit eGullet and Chowhound, but found that the the people who run those sites were pretty difficult to deal with.

SeriousEats has become my favorite of late, as there's such a great variety here--without the overbearing moderators. And look--people seem to be able to play nice! ;-)
Others on a daily basis: Eater, Grub Street, Tommyeats, Ruhlman's is fun (esp when Bourdain is visiting), I Am Not A Chef, Amateur Gourmet, Cooking Light
Occasionally: Chowhound (but I hate their regional board approach and wish they'd have each state), Apartment Therapy, Tom Sietsema's live chat each week on the Wash Post site, NYT on Wednesdays
I'm sure I'll have a headsmack moment and realize others I've forgotten later...

Y'all should try Grocery Guy, Food Whore, Gastropoda, Famous Fat Dave, eggbeater. Ruhlman, A Hunger Artist, and offalgood are also excellent and informative.

Serious Eats is a great site to visit for good food ideas. I go to Food Network when I'm looking for a specific recipe.

Great topic to bring up! I visit Chowhound (even though it's not nearly as good as SE) and Reiman Taste of Home Recipe Forums.
And one of my favorite things to do is Tastespot on Tastespotting.com!

My two fave food blogs, for pics and great recipes, are www.smittenkitchen.com and www.simplyrecipes.com.
I am so glad to have found SE, because so many of my other excursions into the Internet food universe have not ended well. SE is a lively, smart, & funny community of folks who cook "in real life," where sometimes a can is opened, but just as sometimes a sweetbread is sauteed, but no judgment is proclaimed upon either.
I sometimes lurk on eGullet, but there is a lot of "holier-than-thou" thrown around there that makes me suspicious and fearful of posting there.
I used to hang on ChowHound but the (uh-hem, cough cough) over-zealous moderation and BIZARRE breakdown of the boards into Mapquest-impaired forums do no eaters any good. It's especially hard on those of us in "second-tier" cities like Pittsburgh, where I live.
I LOVE Serious Eats!! Thank you all for being so open and welcoming.

Heidi Swanson's 101 Cookbooks, Mighty Foods, Coconut & Lime are new ones that I've gotten into. Serious Eats is my favorite but I must try foodwhore. Ruhlman's is seriously good also, a more cerebral and extremely controversial site.

I just started checking out SE. Love it so far. Also like to surf at: epicurious, food network, chowhound, foodbuzz, slashfood

I too like many of the blogs and site listed... including Orangette, Smitten Kitten, Cafe Fernando, Rasa Malaysia, Steamy Kitchen, Chocolate & Zucchini, and of course my own blog, Boston Food & Whine!
For standard food sites, I like Food TV Network, Cooking Light, Vegetarian Times, Chowhound, Urbanspoon & Yelp.

There are certain magazine sites I love and I've been to several of the blogs - sometimes to clean up a mess left by a former SE poster. (Which is, come to think of it, how I found SE!) The good news is that I've "met" many great food bloggers out there. There is so much culinary talent and love for good food, food heritage and tradition. It really does my heart good to read about it.
Anyone view the NYT Dining and wine section each week? I'm a dedicated reader (on Wednesdays) and that's usually my first click each Wednesday morning.

Ruhlman is awesome (as are his books), egullet, chowhound.
Pavlov at 12:58PM on 03/11/08
Oh my gosh, so many.
101 Cookbooks
Smitten Kitchen
The Wednesday Chef
The Pioneer Woman Cooks
and
TasteSpotting, the ultimate clearing house food site link - go in and see.
I have to say though that SE is hands down my favorite all-round. Good food site, good community.
