Beyond Curry: Scrambled Eggs with Chili Oil

Fish sauce and sriracha - my favorite way to season scrambled eggs.

Visiting NYC? Where to Eat (and Avoid) in Little Italy and Chinatown

Wait wait wait...you allow visitors into the Serious Eats inner sanctum? I'll remember that the next time I'm in NYC.

The Food Lab: The Best Wonton Soup

@dorek: I live in San Antonio, TX. There's plenty of Asian markets here, but I have yet to find dried scallops. Dried shrimp and anchovies are about all they have. It's a shame, because I really want to make an ace XO sauce.

Hanjan: Hooni Kim's Sophomore Effort Establishes Him as NY King of Korean

How do they season the chicken hearts? I have a thing for them after some Brazilian co-workers introduced me to them at a house party.

Keep Austin Weird: 12 Unique Foods Found in Austin

@theotherworldly - That episode with the artisanal doughnuts was voiced by Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein of Portlandia, the sketch TV show about the other weird city in the US, Portland OR. Really, Portland is weirder than Austin, since you have far too much of the retrograde conservatism of Texas to temper Austin's weirdness. Credentials: 30+ year Eugene/Springfield, Oregon resident, 6+ year San Antonio, Texas resident.

Hungover in Austin? Go To Torchy's Tacos

Forget "trashy style". The new hotness is "hillbilly style", where they up the ante with some chorizo AND queso.

Video: How to Poach Eggs, the Foolproof Method (Really!)

I know licensing yadda yadda, but this REALLY needed to be accompanied by Beastie Boys's "Egg Man". Sometimes hard-boiled, sometimes runny, comes from a chicken not a bunny, dummy!

Video: How to Poach Eggs, the Foolproof Method (Really!)

Put me in the both video and text category. Sometimes the video is too long for my limited attention span. Sometimes the video is superfluous to a simple technique. Text is always useful.

But that said, loved this video. Gonna have to try this. The best luck I've had with poached eggs to date was the instructions in David Chang's book for poaching them in the shell. It's a pain to keep a pot of water at 145F when you don't have a sous vide setup, but can't argue with cracking the shell and a perfectly poached egg popping out.

12 of Our Favorite Food Movies

If The Breakfast Club qualifies for a sandwich, then Pee-Wee's Big Adventure should've been in there for his breakfast machine.

Looking for a Cheap Slice? Just Whip Out Your Gun at this Virginia Pizzeria

@simon: They need the gun so they can defend themselves if the gubmint tries to come and take it away. I know, I don't get the logic either.

That, or zee Germans. (Obligatory movie reference.)

The Library at the Public: Your Pre-Theater Dinner Needs Answered

What's the dark bits with the calamari? I recognize the shishitos (ooh, those get my mouth watering...love them so much), and of course the calamari, but what else is there? Pork belly?

Best Frozen Chicken Wings?

Will Gordon. Taking bullets for the team in style.

Ask A Bartender: Have You Ever Served A Celebrity?

Pssh, think only bartenders have interesting celeb stories? I once sold a VCR to David Ogden Stiers! He returned it the next day, which I also handled.

Mighty Quinn's: Has NYC Barbecue Come of Age?

No thanks, I think I'll just go join the line at Franklin BBQ.

Will Gordon's Whiskey Battle: Bulleit Rye vs. Rittenhouse Rye

I bought a bottle of Bulleit Rye once. Wasn't impressed, went back to my mainstay Old Overholt.

Serious Entertaining: A Blowout Christmas Dinner

Why all the putting on airs? It's Two- (or Three-) Buck Chuck, not hoity-toity Charles Shaw. Pfft.

Poll: Broccoli on Pizza, Way or No Way?

I made a beef and broccoli pizza not long ago. Used a regular tomato sauce, but the next day I put some oyster sauce and sriracha on top, and it was the bee's knees.

Cosi's Steak and Cranberry Chili Is Really Good

THANK YOU. Thought there was something wrong with me with being disinterested in the Beatles.

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: The Baking Steel

Picking a favorite topping is like picking my favorite child. Oh wait, that's easy, because I only have one kid. Homemade sauce and pork sausage, and a blend of white cheddar and mozzarella. Nothing fancy.

Taste Test: Frozen Turkey Dinners

"only "home-style" if you live in a combination prison-orphanage engaged in the black-market manufacture of sodium and despair."

Oh man, I shouldn't read anything that funny at work.

Taste Test: Chicken Stock

Kitchen Basics is my brand. I get the salt free, because then I can salt the resulting food to my family's salt preference level (and then add some more for me, at the table). I haven't tried anything beyond the chicken or beef, though the local upscale store carries most (all?) the other varieties.

Ask The Food Lab Anything, Thanksgiving Edition

Second to nomdeplume's question - what's the best way to roast a turkey in parts? It's the other way round for me - the wife and kid love white meat, while I eat the dark. I'm considering your spatchcocked turkey recipe, or cutting the turkey into pieces if I can get some guidance.

How to Cook a Spatchcocked Turkey: The Fastest, Easiest Thanksgiving Turkey

Okay, so I'm seriously considering this method, but...

What about cutting the turkey into pieces, and roasting each separately until they come to the correct temperature? Presentation isn't a problem, and I'm more concerned with the light/dark meat being done to the correct temps.
