Join foodies for your fill of culinary news, discussions, recipes and restaurant reviews at Serious Eats, an international food blog to which "Molto" Mario Batali sometimes contributes. Whether or not you're a gastronome, reading about Rome's bountiful organic markets and the hearty hot dogs of Santiago, Chile, will surprise and delight you. Entertaining and heated discussions flare up about the most mundane food-related minutiae: the best thing to eat when you're lunching at your office desk; the pros and cons of Ruth's Chris Steak House. If your interest is specifically big-city dining, check out Savory Cities for terrific videos and chef interviews shot at top restaurants in New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco and Seattle. And for a broader range of consumer reviews, menus and online reservations at eateries around the country, check out BooRah.
