On Gothamist the other day, I was a bit sad to see how this post on Slice was credited to Serious Eats instead.
Sure, they’re from the same “family” of blogs, and, sure, “The Food Lab” posts generally live on the Serious Eats homepage, so maybe this isn’t the best example to whine about, but it [...]
As an editor at a food blog, I’m used to getting messages like this:
Hello,
How much does it cost to eat out in florence?
There are so many factors to consider. Would you be kind enough as to give me some pointers as what to look for or avoid?
Any help appreciated. Thank you very much. [...]
This kinda makes me sad. Brownstoner says that “Serious Eats checked in on the place …” when in fact it was Slice that did the checkin’ in.

The interregnum between Christmas and New Year’s is a slow one for most daily and weekly news outlets. So’s the case on Serious Eats. We planned an onslaught of year-in-review posts, but readers grew tired of it before I could post about my favorite new (or new-to-me) food blogs of 2008. So I’ll just do [...]
Ugh. Seriously. I get this message in my inbox and I’m like WTF!?
We’re using Movable Type Enterprise Version 1.53 to run Serious Eats, and since I’ve been using MT for almost five years, I’m familiar with its quirks and what not. But for a multiuser affair like SE, trying to telegraph all its quirks to [...]
