As per conversation in Erin's inside view of R-Gang, we're going to have a tot meetup. October 23rd, next Tuesday, lets say 7pm? Maybe some of you will get there earlier, but I can't!

Ask a Cicerone: What's The Weirdest Beer You've Tried?
Indra Kunindra at Ballast Point. Thankfully, I only got a dollar taster of it at the brewery because I HATED it. Ew.
Giveaway: Win A Limited Edition "Zelda Collection" from Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams
Definitely a rum runner!
San Francisco: Awesome Drive-in Burger in Mexican Joint, Garaje
Awesome! We're going to be moving like... 3 blocks from that. Good to know that I won't miss out on awesome burgers within walking distance :)
Cook the Book: 'The New Persian Kitchen'
Oooh I LOVE cooking with harissa. I marinate chicken in a mixture of the harissa, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic slices and onion (and lots of black pepper). Then I grill it. SO delicious.
A Sandwich A Day: Turkey Day from BFD in San Diego, CA
Man that place is good...
Gluten-Free Roasted Asparagus Tart
Question - how do I keep asparagus from getting overcooked in a quiche?
Chametz-Free NYC, Day 2: Can I Eat any Asian Food?
Am I the only Jewish person who finds the stringency of passover rules entirely silly? Like... I can get on board with not eating leavened bread. Fine. Even pasta. But rice? It just doesn't make sense to me in terms of the holiday's historical basis.
San Diego: Old-School Greatness at The Grill at Torrey Pines
Serious question - what do I have to wear when I go there? Erin I'm so afraid of looking like a dumbass cuz I live 3 miles from there and I needs to go. So please tell me.
Poll: Buffalo Chicken Pizza, Way or No Way?
@Boston otter - that place is good? I've never tried it but my best friend literally lives above it.
Poll: Buffalo Chicken Pizza, Way or No Way?
ANTONIOS!!!!! Their buffalo chicken pizza is the thing of my college dreams.
San Diego: Prepkitchen Delivers the Goods
My WNL burger was good, but it definitely was packed super tightly and just... wasn't great.
San Diego: Prepkitchen Delivers the Goods
So why does WNL make a burger that's basically meatloaf?
First Look: Bien Cuit Bakery's New West Village Store
Coles, I was thinking the exact same thing, with a little added "if I was served that I would be livid".
First Look: U-Mini in Los Angeles Makes the Future of the Fast Food Burger Look Bright
Wow that looks great! I'm loving the slightly upscale fast food burger invasion!
Washington, DC: Matchbox Slings Solid, Accessible Pies
We went to the Matchbox in Palm Springs... super impressed!
Serious Holiday Giveaway: The Baking Steel
Spicy salami, home made ricotta, and spinach leaves on top.
Jonathan Gold's Burger Quiz
That question about green chile cheeseburgers made me so mad! Does anyone really know where in New Mexico they originated?
Eggnog Ice Cream
Ok, so that makes sense. Are there any ice cream machines that reduce the container temperature slowly while churning? I'd think that would be the ultimate way to make creamy ice cream, as you're forming small ice particles and continually distributing them through the mix. Our 70s il gelataio (which is my favorite appliance name ever) only does one temp, but I bet we could rig it up to a PID to make it variable... franken ice cream maker :)
Eggnog Ice Cream
This might be a stupid question, but I never chill ice cream before churning and I'm wondering if it will turn out creamier if I do. Is this because it reduces formation of ice crystals? What's going on with the pre-churn chill?
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Korin Chef Knife
Cucumber for Japanese cucumber salad. Super thin :)
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: La Quercia's Pork Belly Heaven Package
In a panzanella salad! SO good!
14 Foods That Will Make You Wish You Lived on Oahu
Malasadas! Yes! I think they could have easily left out the moco loco... ew.
Shave ice, though... man that stuff is great.
Burger City Guides: Jason McLeod's Favorite Burgers in San Diego
@ Mitch like that didn't make you want to run out of work to go to In n Out at 9am... :P
City-specific meetups?
While looking at Erin's behind-the-scenes look at how the tots are made at San Diego's R-Gang, I found myself wishing there was some kind of city-specific meetup through serious eats. Nothing formal, maybe just a click through to post to people from your city about trying a new place, food-specific events, etc. We're all foodies, and foodies love eating and talking and talking about eating, so I figure we should do that together.
Brioche rolls with cinnamon sugar
Buttery, flakey brioche with a cinnamon sugar sprinkle - a perfectly unhealthy treat!
Beet cavatelli
Quick and easy beet cavatelli with a how-to on this great pasta shape. It's almost faster than store bought pasta!
Engagement chicken?
The recipe title promises engagement - I'm already hitched, but this is a damn good roast chicken.
Rosemary olive oil bread
Rosemary-olive oil fresh from the oven - made my week a whole lot better.
Bacon-rosemary kettle corn
Forgot dessert? Make some kettle corn with things you probably always have in your pantry. And it's delicious.
Bacon-rosemary kettle corn
Totally delicious, salty, sweet, kettle corn. Made by my financee on a Saturday night when we had no dessert and I was about to cry.
Amy D hasn't favorited a post yet.
I was quite let down by my burger when I visited Burger Bar. It was practically tasteless. And for the 21 bucks I plopped down for it, it just left me wanting quite a bit.
