Announcing Serious Eats Chicago
Yes! I'm so excited about this happening!
Cook the Book: 'Cooking Without Borders'
I like it! I think it's a very creative way to explore cuisine. Just not when they are claiming to be authentically one thing or the other.
Cook the Book: 'Ruhlman's Twenty'
Definitely salt!
Cook the Book: 'The Splendid Table's How to Eat Weekends'
risotto, braised meat, and salad!

Sunday Brunch: Eggy Bread
My parents make a wonderful, Indian version of this that they, amusingly, call "Indian French Toast." They make a basic Indian omlette mix (eggs, onion, cilantro, chilies) and dip bread into it and cook it in the same manner and eat it with ketchup. It's delicious!
Goodbye, Dumpling
Kenji, I'm so sorry for your loss. Clicking through the weekly slideshow was such a joy because of Dumpling's adorable face. I'm so sorry.
It's Almost Corn Season! Charred Corn and Zucchini Tacos
This looks amazing!
The way that I usually char corn is directly on the stove on the gas flame. That's the way my grandma made it for me when I was growing up. She would peel back the husk, and twist it up to use it like a handle, and continuously rotate it over the fire. It's delicious and just takes only a few minutes! It gets nice and split and stays smoky and sweet.
My Latest Obsession: Baby Bananas
These are the types of bananas that I eat when I'm in India! They are the best. I entirely agree with you about sizing, one normal banana is way too big for me, but one tiny banana is the perfect amount! Love them!
