Eater, Shopper, Traveler, Proud Mama to Baby Zog. Social Media and Community Manager. MBA. Basically, all the good things.
I'm with Robyn! A roommate of mine from college was just like Carey - a lover of the creme - so we were the perfect pair! I'd sit and cut out the middle, pass it along, and crunch on my delicious cookie.
Now, I'm not so regimented. And I'm not allowed to have Oreos around the house - otherwise, I eat an entire row. (Darn you, buttery goodness!)
I really need the Belgian brownie recipe and the Olive Oil Brownie Buttons. Yum!
Such a great week! Now I want some oatmeal pie...
And I can't wait until Baby Zog is old enough for his first Shake Shack burger! He'll be ruined for life : ).
So excited to read it!
This is going to be epic lol.
@RobynLee I love Rice Krispie Treat cereal too!
This can honestly go so many places. I absolutely grew up with the healthy cereals with an occasional treat cereal like PB Captain Crunch. I went crazy for a semester in college when I suddenly had free reign. I've since mostly returned to my original roots of Cheerios. I wish they'd bring back fruit filled Shredded Wheat - the strawberry kind.
I can only imagine the posts on cereal let-downs. I wanted Cookie Crisp for years - only to think once I'd tried it that it was the nastiest, most chemically tasting cereal ever created. I did just see a new brownie cereal - I'll wait to hear your opinion on that. Can't wait!
Yay! It got posted! These make me want a donut more than anything though lol.
Adam,
I will never tire of your writing style nor your pictures and descriptions of pizza. Awesome write-up! I wish I was in NYC so I could indulge in one of my favorite pastimes - pizza eating. Sigh.
I just teared up a little. Kenji, I am so sorry for your loss. Dumpling was a perfect little companion and adorable to boot. He will be greatly missed.
Congrats everyone! Well deserved!
I'm with Kenji on this. It's a simple best business practice to be willing to leave items OFF off the dish. Yes, I believe the chef may have composed things a certain way and can understand not wanting to "ruin" a dish but at least let the people who are paying and eating it have a little control.
And @CJ McD - I do think the restaurant's reaction to a press call does say quite a bit. Totally possible that Ramsay and Beckham were not the best behaved - also possible that they behaved just fine. But the restaurant chose not to act sensibly and with grace with confronted.
The pregnancy thing? I do think it shouldn't matter whether she was or not. However, it does add a new dimension. I know with my own system things have changed dramatically with pregnancy. A lot of foods that I loved before I could absolutely not eat right now. And in addition to that, the list of foods that pregnant women are not supposed to eat is ridiculous! Raw eggs (which are in some dressings), deli meat, sushi, and now some doctors are even including peanuts. Throw a little kindness and compassion towards someone with some temporary physical challenges.
That is a beautiful sandwich. I may have to stop here on my next visit : ).

Neeeeed pizza! Donna, that looks amazing! The crust has perfect puff and I love the char! Especially the very browned cheese. You are welcome to make pizza at my house - anytime.
And now I really want a hot dog. Well, 15 hot dogs.
Love Hello Panda and all other forms of it! My dad started bringing them back when I was a kid and I've never lost the love for them. (and the ability to eat multiple boxes)
@balutanski How is it poorly written? Do you mean content? We'd have to agree to disagree regardless.
I look foward to the Monday post as soon as I've finished reading the current one. An interesting quick read with the promise of future intrigue.
I can't believe you didn't pick Pizza Hut. Now THAT is some fine pizza.
Love Feijoada! My sister-in-law lived in Brazil for 18 months on a service mission. Fortunately for me, she brought home this dish. I've loved it since I was 8. Nothing better on a cold day when you need a hearty dish.
I love Hobnobs! And now I want to try the like Irish Stew and Roast Beef & Yorkshire Pudding crisps. Could be interesting...
I second the dill with carrots! My mother always serves our corned beef and potatoes with dill carrots. We boil baby carrots, drain, then add butter, sea salt, and dill. Delish!
Kenji, you never fail to make me happy. Corned beef has been a regular Sunday staple in my family. My ancestors immigrated to the states a few generations back and are part of the Irish Americans that began to regularly enjoy and cultivate the dish.
This post is getting sent to the entire McBride clan. I know what I'll be having for dinner on Sunday! My husband thanks you in advance.
These NY pizza posts are sheer torture. One of my top 5 foods in the world that I love. I think I need to find a conference to attend stat.
Looks amazing and perfect for a rainy day like today (in SLC at least). Yum! I would have loved being a taster for this roundup!
A friend is looking for this soda as part of his Christmas gift to his father. He's not so keen on paying 40 bucks for soda.
Anyone know a less expensive place that will ship to Utah? Or better yet, anyone in Utah know a place that carries it locally? If I were still in New York, I'd ship it for him, but alas, I am back in the land of mountains.
Thanks!
Here's a four-stop afternoon-into-evening walking and eating tour for you and your tourist that shows off the full range of the food and drink around the Empire State building. It includes a new hot spot, a tiny hole in the wall, and a champion of high class carnivory. In other words: the New York your guest really wants to see, but doesn't know to ask for. More
Pain au chocolat—literally "chocolate bread." What an understatement. Buttery croissant dough wrapped around not one, but two sticks of chocolate. An indulgence like this could only come from France. For three days, my intrepid photographer and I scoured the city for pain au chocolat that stand out from the Parisian crowd. In the end, we found 10 that can't be missed. More
We want people who can write about (and preferably already have experience covering) one or more of the following: pizza, food events, restaurant and bar openings, cocktails, or craft beer, with the ability to turn around copy and photos quickly. If that's you, shoot us an email! More
For creamier potatoes with a slightly less crisp crust, substitute Yukon Gold potatoes for russets. Duck fat, turkey fat, or chicken fat will give the best results, but bacon fat or olive oil will work well. More
Hand-pulled noodles are dramatic to watch being made. Starting with one cylindrical rope of dough, a noodle maker pulls and tug on that rope and folds it over his fingers, weaving his hands back and forth as if playing an accordion, each time stretching out the dough so that before long all ten of his fingers hold up progressively thinner strands of one singular, unbroken string of dough. The chewy texture and slightly irregular shape of a hand-pulled noodles keeps each strand interesting and fun to eat. So we checked out five hand-pulled noodle joints in Manhattan's Chinatown, looking for the best the neighborhood had to offer. More
Though you need a decent chunk of time to make the gnocchi pasta, it's really not hard to do. The sage brown-butter sauce, on the other hand, comes together so quickly, you can prepare it in the few minutes it takes to cook the gnocchi. The pay-off is worth the effort. The soft gnocchi and the nutty, toasted butter make for deeply satisfying comfort food. More
You can also make this recipe using store-bought corned beef. Just skip to step 2.... More
What if you poured Sloppy Joe meat mixture all over nachos? Super Bowl food at its best. More
Note: Using a food processor ensures that your dough is properly developed without over-oxidizing, which can affect flavor. To scale up, make dough in separate batches in food processor. Do not try to process more than one batch at a... More
Unlike Indian curries, which rely on dried spices toasted in oil or clarified butter for flavor, curries from Thailand use wet pastes simmered in coconut milk. Panang is an orange-red Thai curry paste. It's milder than most other Thai curries, but its flavors are more similar to Thai red curry paste (which is spicier than the yellow and green varieties).

Carnitas can be prepared through step 3 up to three days in advance. Pork can be crisped up straight from the refrigerator. You can lower the heat in your salsa verde by removing the seeds from the jalapeños, or omitting... More

This week, the SE'ers traveled far and wide from Serious Eats World Headquarters: the lucky interns headed out to Midwood, Brooklyn, for pizza; Adam flew down to Louisville, Kentucky (and brought back pie!); and Chichi cooked up a Nasty Bits dinner. (And yes: there's a picture of Dumpling in the slideshow.) More
"If you can use donuts for buns and call it a Luther burger, if you can use Domino's pizza for buns and call it a pizza burger, if you can use grilled cheese sandwiches for buns and call it a burger, then a patty melt is a burger. That being said, it's a burger with a title. You would never call it 'burger on rye.' That would be disrespectful. That would be like calling the President "politician in a white house." It's Mr. President, and it's a Patty Melt." —CptBuck, on "Poll: The Patty Melt — Is It a Burger?" More
Hi ninny1! I wish I'd kept better track of where I ate while traveling in Croatia. It's been a few years, but Croatia remains one of my favorite all-time trips. I honestly don't think we had a bad meal. I also was fortunate to be with friends who had lived there for several years and so I was able to eat at the homes of locals.
I will say my stand-out dishes were stuffed peppers (amazing!), gnocchi, many dishes you would traditionally consider Italian (they are across the coast, after all), and gelato.
I hope you have a fabulous time, take loads of pictures, and report back! We started out in Bari, ferried over to Dubrovnik, took a boat up the coast (thousands of islands!), and ended in Zagreb. It's an amazing country - food, people, and scenery.
