Content
The site consists of general food features as well as recipes, home cooking advice, and equipment reviews.
The site is notable for launching the career of J. Kenji Lopez-Alt, whose column "The Food Lab" was adapted into a James Beard award-winning cookbook of the same name.[4] Lopez-Alt's writing was highly regarded among amateur cooks for its rigorous approach to cooking and recreating cultural food icons, such as the ShackBurger and Chick-fil-a, in the home kitchen.[5][6]
Other notable past contributors to the website include Stella Parks and Sohla El-Waylly.[7][8]
Critical reception
In 2008, Serious Eats was ranked #17 on Time magazine's list of the 50 Best Websites.[9] Serious Eats was the recipient of two James Beard Foundation awards in 2010 for Best Food Blog and Best Video Webcast.[10]
