Jamie's Guide to LA's Must-Eat Mexican Food
@zorazen I *love* Guelaguetza and actually am kicking myself for not including it here —what's wrong with me? Their much-heralded mole is fantastic, but I actually love their chilaquiles, too. Good stuff. @inkybrain Adding to my list for next time!
Pantry Essentials: All About Chutney
@cotejona Ha! Whoops. Should be fixed in a second. Happened last time, too--I think our CMS system has a one-track mind.
Emmett's Does Not Serve the Chicago Deep Dish You're Looking For
As a native Chicagoan and one of Max's dining companions during this review dinner, I'm throwing my hat into the ring. This wasn't just a bad replica of a true Chicago-style pie; it was a bad pizza, period, to say nothing of the subpar service before and throughout the meal. A few of the individual elements (the cheese, the sauce) held their own, but in the grand scheme of a pizza, they were overwhelmed by the amateur-level dough and inferior toppings (or...lack thereof).

@Chico I've never refrigerated Sriracha! I just checked the bottle to be sure, and it doesn't say "Refrigerate After Opening" anywhere. Here's an old Talk thread on this very issue — at the end of the day, I can't find any scientific reason to keep it cold, so I think it's a matter of preference. Let us know if you like it better room temp!

@BostonAdam wasn't a direct route! We swung down to Charleston after Tennessee and drove up the coast after that. @everyone with grain tips--yes, good idea!
Behind the Scenes in Jamie's Home Kitchen
@Ghostly I SHALL REVEAL THE CONTENTS OF MY CRISPER: some very stale herbs, a tube of Olympic Provisions salami, apples, half an onion, gremlins.
Burmese Salad Days and More at Laksa King in Vancouver
@zorazen, I know that in Burma, students eat tea leaf salad as a stimulant to stay up late and cram. I never noticed a particularly strong effect while I was there, but people with a caffeine sensitivity might feel it more.
This Week at Serious Eats World Headquarters
@Ivelisse thank you for the intel!
Ed's Head: I'm Going Vegan This Month To Keep Kenji Company
@Currigirl, yes, Vegan Month at SE is pretty strict--no refined sugar because it may be filtered with animal bone char.
Vegetarian-Friendly Mezze With a Warm Welcome at Gregory's 26 Corner
Also, not not so much vegetarian, but Gregory's has some of the best grilled octopus I've had in the 'hood. Simple, meaty, and juicy--worth seeking out for sure!
The Food Lab's Soup Month: Creamy Chanterelle Mushroom Soup
I am not afraid; just bitterly angry that the desiccated Tim remains did not seem to make it to the office from a proper burial [in my stomach].
Check Out Our Game Day Entertaining Page!
By next Sunday, we mean 2/2! We consider 1/26 this Sunday.
I Tried My First King Cakes in New Orleans, and They Were Awesome
This is great, and the king cake looks killer, but I still want to know why the cops crashed the rehearsal dinner.
A Day in the Life: J. Kenji López-Alt, Chief Creative Officer
Way to use THE most unflattering photo of me and my doughnut cake. Thanks.
Snapshots from the Mediterranean: The 25 Best Things I Ate in Cyprus
@Giannis: Thanks for posting all of this! I'll fix those factoids asap--glad to have the Nicosia/Lefkosia issue clarified, as it was (obviously) slightly unclear to me while I was there. And thank you for ID'ing the bread! Now I just have to find someplace in NYC that makes it...
Snapshots from the Mediterranean: The 25 Best Things I Ate in Cyprus
@Autumn, soutzoukos were definitely more like grape-almond gummy bears--pretty firm, with a hard chew, if that makes sense!
Snapshots from the Mediterranean: The 25 Best Things I Ate in Cyprus
@Hungry Dan: As @ccots says, Cyprus is on the Euro, and most of our sit-down restaurant meals were around 20 euro per person. Given that we were there during the off-season, however, we got some great deals on lodging and car rental that would have otherwise made this trip prohibitively expensive.
Where Do You Eat Alone in New York?
A few people have asked, so I'll spill the beans: the Italian restaurant I referenced in my eating alone article was Porsena, though as I wrote, I'll eat alone just about anywhere.
New York Gets its First Canele Shop
Oh, wow. I don't make up to that neighborhood too often, but now...I might have to make a special trip.
The Secret Life of Pie Town, New Mexico
I meant to add, "I want to go to there."
The Secret Life of Pie Town, New Mexico
This is so amazing.
In Defense of Eating Alone
Wow, guys, thanks for all the love! I'm glad to know there are plenty of dining solo supporters out there, whether for work or pleasure. I just hope this piece encourages anyone who's on the fence about eating alone to at least give it a whirl.
This Week at Serious Eats World Headquarters: Winter Break Edition
@PaulCline, forget sitting cross-legged and let your body accept the squat. It's mind over matter.
Ed Levine's Must-Eat New York Dishes of 2013
I henceforth declare this to be the best picture of our fair overlord in the history of SE.
I'm sorry, I just don't understand the concept of "leftover condensed milk," because I lick that can clean every single time.
