Gallery: This Week at Serious Eats World Headquarters

Max tackles an exciting project involving an array of Taco Bell food items. Stay tuned for Mexican Sandwich Week!

Max knows how to handle precarious layered food items like a pro...

Throwback to Max's last use of an enormous spatula for a massive layered monstrosity (aka The Ultimate Four-Layer, Candy-Packed Halloween Ice Cream Cake).

This sandwich is all Tramp.

Just so many layers of so many things.

Just a little behind-the-scenes action on a drinks shoot. Gotta get that lemon just right!

Max spent last week on a trip to Taiwan to drink lots of tea and hang out with SE alum Robyn Lee. What's the first thing you do after arriving in Taipei after 18 hours of travel? Hit the night market and gorge on fried chicken, of course.
