The Serious Eats Team has rounded up the tastiest bites from last week's posts so you don't miss anything delicious!

This Week on Serious Eats

According to our handy site-metering utility, the top 10 most delicious items on Serious Eats last week were ...

1. Snapshots from Japan: Street Fair Food in Kyoto
Just like at a midwestern state fair, Japanese street fair food tends to rely heavily on easy-to-do-outdoors cooking techniques like deep-frying and grilling, though Japanese snack food is often made with specialized cast-iron molds.

2. BraveTart: Make Your Own Conversation Hearts
The white ones had a harsh one-note menthol and yellow boasted all the banana flavor of car wash air freshener. This recipe will right all those Conversation Heart wrongs. Plus you can personalize the conversation!

3. Torrisi Italian Specialties, NYC: 20-Course $125 Tasting Menu That Manages To Be Flat-Out Fun
Fun is usually not the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of tasting menus. But could chef Rich Torrisi's characteristic sense of humor at Torrisi Italian Specialties make such a $125 marathon meal fun?

4. Staff Picks: Our Dream Dinners at Home on Valentine's Day
To avoid all the fuss of going out, we're tempted to just stay in and make a lovely meal at home. Here are some of our favorite recipes for a Valentine's Day dinner.

5. Reality Check: The Big America Burgers at McDonald's Japan Are Back (and Bad As Ever)
America may be the home of McDonald's, but Japan is where its hamburgers go to spread their wings and take off into flights of fancy, combining flavors that no American would dare combining, dousing.

6. Snapshots from Seoul: 8 Must-Eat Foods
Fresh fish at Noryangjin Fish Market, bibimbap, kalbi, soondubu jjigae, and more foods you must eat when in Seoul.

7. From Behind the Bar: On Drinking for Free
Buy-back, comp, promo; call it what you will. In every bar, there is a certain budget that allows for giving a customer a drink that they do not have to pay for. For those of us who work behind bars, the buy-back is a double-edged sword.

8. We Try Every Winter Flavor from Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams
Columbus-based Jeni's Spendid Ice Creams has received plenty of love over the last couple years, so when 20 pints of the stuff arrived at Serious Eats HQ, well, it was like Christmas came for an encore.

9. Spice Hunting: How to Increase Your Spice Tolerance
Hey spicy food wimps, here are some tips to strip chiles of (some of) their fire while keeping their flavor intact.

10. Pizza Preview: Don Antonio in Midtown Manhattan
Slice got a sneak peek at some of the items exclusive to Don Antonio. There are some exciting new pies here including the Montanara Starita, a version of the deep-fried pizza that's been cropping up among the newer Neapolitan places.
