Australian Burgers with 'The Lot' at the Sunburnt Cow in the East Village
I've never seen beet as a burger topping before. Interesting.
Street Food Profiles: Coolhaus Ice Cream Sandwiches in Los Angeles, California
These ice cream sandwiches look great! I know the wrapper is edible, but do people actually eat with their ice cream sandwich? What is the taste and texture like?

Kimchi Donuts from Dunkin' Donuts in Korea
This looks a lot like the curry pan buns I used to buy from Japanese bakeries, except with kimchi filling. I love curry pan and kimchi, so I'm pretty sure I would love these too :)

Crawfish at The Boiling Crab in California
@Burger365 They're not. The only ban I know of is in San Francisco supermarkets (someone can correct me on this). The Boiling Crab is safe for now :)
Does one need a microwave?
I agree with sousvide. It's convenient for leftovers when I'm not patient enough to wait for the oven to heat, and you can buy them for far less than $130 (craigslist, garage sales, flea markets...).
Pascal Rigo's Goat Cheese Tart with Pears (Tarte au Chevre avec des Poires)
Wow, this looks so luxurious. I wonder if it would go with the mulled red wine syrup I made a few weeks ago.
Cook the Book: Pumpkin Baking
pumpkin cheesecake bars
Karen Bornarth's and Roger Gural's Croissants
This looks like a fun project, but I don't have a stand mixer. Would it be possible to make the dough with a hand mixer or by hand?
Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'
The first cookbook I bought was Washoku. Oddly enough, I just opened it up yesterday for the first time in months.
First Look: Some Great Pizza at Emilia's Pizzeria in Berkeley, California
I used to live 2 buildings away from this intersection! Why did I move?!
Photo of the Day: Epic Taiwanese Shaved Ice
haha, I guess I'm in the minority, but this looks delicious to me. red beans + custard = happiness in my belly.
The Best Chocolate Chips for Cookies
Are the chips in the first photo Ghirardelli bittersweet?

mango shaved ice or apple pie w/ ice cream
San Francisco food trucks
Sorry, I wish I could be of more help, but honestly I've never eaten from a food truck in SF. Here's most of the info I could find:
Serious Eats just had a post about a creme brulee cart in the Mission District (they also mention a magic curry cart-magic curry!)
http://www.seriouseats.com/2009/05/creme-brulee-cart-man-san-francisco-bay-area-dolores-park-ca.html
I have also heard good reviews of a Belgian Waffle truck at the Civic Center Farmer's Market (I think they may be on Wednesdays): http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/458178
Mission Street Food used to be in a truck before it moved to a more permanent location: http://blog.missionstreetfood.com/
You might also try doing a search on the SF boards on Chowhound. I think I remember seeing some threads about food trucks, but some may be outside of SF proper.
Good Luck! Hopefully, others have a better suggestions :)
Where to eat in SF?
Wow, I need to eat out more, because I haven't been to any of those places, but out of the list, I have heard good things about Boulangerie, Zarzuela, and Anamandara :)
You can also take a look at this list for ideas:
http://7x7.com/content/eat-drink/big-eat-sf-100-things-try-you-die
Some places on the list I like are:
-Turtle Tower for pho ga...try #10 if you like offal :D
-La Taqueria for burritos/quesadillas/tacos...but I'm sure others can chime in with another taqueria (everyone has their own favorite)
-Tartine Bakery for breakfast/brunch. I'm partial to their almond croissants, bread pudding, and cafe au lait, but just know that lines can get long.
-Burma Superstar for Burmese food. The wait for this place can be heinous, but you can put your name & cell phone # down and then walk to Green Apple Bookstore to pass the time
-Blue Bottle Coffee is pretty good if you like coffee. I'm a lightweight, so I like the New Orleans Iced Coffee.
-Hog Island Oyster Co...the recommended clam chowder is pretty good
-Zuni Cafe for their roast chicken & bread salad. It's priced for 2 people and it takes 50min-1hour to cook, so I wouldn't go it alone unless you REALLY want to try it.
-never been but want to try: SPQR/A16, Rosamunde Sausage Grill (I hear you can grab a beer next door), Delfina/Pizzeria Delfina (check out Slice for their review), Aziza, San Tung, Sebo...
Ok, this post is getting way longer than I intended. I'll leave the rest to other SF Serious Eaters :) I hope you have a good trip and happy eating!
Genius Idea or Absolute Disaster
I recently tried to make zucchini bread pancakes, which made sense in my brain, but didn't translate well to the plate. I still ate them : \
What to do with extra bananas?
How about fried bananas with ice cream?
'Food Network Magazine' Lists the Best Burgers in the Country
I love In-N-Out, but I have to agree this list is flawed in so many ways...
Sugar Rush: A Peek Inside the Reopened Chocolate Bar
This is just torture for someone living on the other side of the country! And this is random, but after staring at the atomic chocolates they started looking like screaming faces.
Americurry, a Blog Dedicated to Finding the Best Japanese Curry in the US
@comicsan They kind of try to describe the difference on the site: http://www.americurry.com/what-is-japanese-curry/
To be honest my palate is not refined enough to describe the flavors, but like the site says, it's a bit sweeter, thicker, and not as spicy than some of the coconut milk based curries I've tried at Indian restaurants. I think of it as just homey and comforting brown sauce on rice. You should try it at least once! :)
StillTasty Answers Questions About Food Preservation
Awesome! I've been looking for something like this. Unfortunately, it says I should have cooked my fava beans 2 days ago...damn.
My Year in Hamburgers
Congrats! I love reading your reviews. And I gotta try that Minetta Tavern burger one day. It looks amazing.
What Does Barack Obama's First 100 Days Mean for Serious Eaters?
I agree with mh330 and lawofmurphy. Also, politics on Serious Eats isn't a new thing. If you click the 'politics' tag at the bottom of the post, several posts come up - even one about Bush and cheese!

getting crispy tacos at Tito's Tacos and then eating them noisily at a public hearing

http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/ is one of my favorites (along with SE, of course!) - her entire blog receives several visits a day from me as I check to see if there is anything new - I discovered this delightful site this summer - I've tried several of her recipes, and am smitten - I'd really love to win her cookbook!
