Jean-Georges Vongerichten's Crisp Savory Roast Chicken
Any tips on where to get the konbu? Or is it fairly common?
Cook the Book: 'Home Cooking with Jean-Georges'
I'm pretty sure my favorite chefs don't cook much at home....or just eggs.

Win Pop Chart Lab's "Constitutions of Classic Cocktails" Poster
Pretty much just ice lately --- I've been moving and it's been unseasonably warm!! (I'm also loving this new local vodka distillery that just opened....)

I'm pretty sure my favorite chefs don't cook much at home....or just eggs.
Cook the Book: Molto Batali
My family for a semi-special occasion. I love to surpise them with new foods/preparations when all they're expecting is barbecue chicken.
Cook the Book: 'The Food52 Cookbook'
Lobster mac n cheese!!
Bake the Book: 'Momofuku Milk Bar'
My dream bakery would be anything in my office complex downstairs. It'd be great if it sold tequila as well.
Cook the Book: 'The Mozza Cookbook'
Dinner at Babbo - it was incredible!!!
The 25 Best Eats at the Texas State Fair
Just in time for the big Texas-Oklahoma game this weekend... Hook 'em!!! :)
Mac n Cheese: Naughty or Healthy?
I love Sudenveri's suggestion of replacing the noodles but I recently made the Cauliflower mac-n-cheese from this site - replacing some of the creamy, naughty goodness with a cheesy, cauliflower puree and it was surprisingly delicious. Different, but still good.
Got a Question for The Food Lab? Kenji Will Answer Everything
1.) Can we go ahead and get an answer to everything in your post above? (you know, since you asked)
2.) You = alone on a deserted island w/ an unlimited supply of ONE alcoholic beverage. What is it?
Cook the Book: 'The Glorious Pasta of Italy'
Black Spaghetti with Rock Shrimp, Spicy Salami Calabrese and Green Chiles from Babbo last month - it was incredible!
Cook the Book: 'Canal House Cooking Volume No. 6'
Not necessarily a particular experience, but pretty much every time my mother and I went to the farmers market, it was memorable. We'd squeeze and smell what looked freshest and build our weekend menus from there. I'd give anything to share that again with her.
Cook the Book: 'Guy Fieri Food'
Pretty much any taco from a legit taco stand here in Austin. Yum!
Drink the Book: 'Jelly Shot Test Kitchen'
Does taking one off of another human body count? ;-)
Old stuff in your pantry/fridge/freezer?
Sorry for the confusion - I meant his future comment (if there is one). :)
Old stuff in your pantry/fridge/freezer?
I really hope Kenji's response isn't related to his cat......
Changing the email address associated with my account
Things may have changed in last few months, but when I needed my email address updated, I had to email the admin. support@seriouseats.com
Boneless, Skinless Chicken Thighs....What To Do, What To Do.....
Leo Maya's Chicken with Green Sauce from Mario Batali (posted on this site quite a long time ago) is absolutely fantastic! I make it pretty often and never get tired of it......
SE Staff Picks: Our Favorite Girl Scout Cookies, and How to Eat Them
Peanut Butter Patties (after sitting in the sun for a little bit) and Thin Mints slathered in peanut butter. Oh yeah, I just went there.
Baking with olive oil or user error?
Well there is always the possibility that I measured incorrectly (I mean, I might like to be called "angel" but I'm nowhere close).....thanks everyone for the help! I might try to give this a go again over the weekend and I'll re-post if I have any success. Thanks again!
Baking with olive oil or user error?
I wondered about my oven, too - but cooked several other things throughout the evening and it all came out fine. It was such a gorgeous batter and will now have to make a beautiful ice cream topping!
Served: Corporate Restaurantland
I echo everyone else with a very excited, "Welcome Back!!"
I used to look forward to your column with ridiculous enthusiasm and this post just made my day.
