Content
The site consists of general food features as well as recipes and home cooking advice.
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.[4] Lopez-Alt's writing was highly regarded among amateur cooks for its rigorous approach to recreating cultural food icons such as the ShackBurger and Chick-fil-a in the home kitchen.[5]
Critical reception
In 2008, Serious Eats was ranked #17 on Time magazine's list of the 50 Best Websites.[6] Serious Eats was the recipient of two James Beard Foundation awards in 2010 for Best Food Blog, and Best Video Webcast.[7]
