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. 10 Fun Toppings for Popcorn Adding superfluous amounts of salt and butter is never a bad idea but we had fun with more out-there toppings. Lemongrass popcorn? Cool Ranch popcorn? A Japanese twist with furikake? 2. Fast Food French Fry Fray: McDonald's vs. Burger King vs. Wendy's Which fast-food French fries actually prove best in a three-way cage match between McDonald's, Wendy's, and Burger King? We have some thoughts. 3. The Food Lab: How to Make Tonkotsu Ramen Broth at Home Just as with pizza, the regional variation between bowls of ramen—the broth, the flavoring, the toppings, and the noodle style—are staggering, but there's no doubt that the King of Slurpdom is tonkotsu ramen. 4. Eating Everything on the Salad Bar at Maoz Vegetarian We're huge fans of Maoz Vegetarian, the falafel chain that started two decades ago in Amsterdam. Sure, the falafel itself is great but you want to know the real reason we go there? The all-you-can-pile-in salad bar. 5. Fast-Food Fried Fish Sandwiches: Popeyes vs. Burger King vs. McDonald's vs. Wendy's It's time to break down the strengths, weaknesses, and tartar sauces of the four leading national fast-fried fishwiches: McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, and Popeye's. 6. Serious Eats Neighborhood Guides: Frank Bruni's Upper West Side During his tenure as the New York Times restaurant critic, Frank Bruni's opinion determined the fortunes of countless chefs and shaped the city's eating habits. Now, nearly three years after leaving his powerful post, he's free to eat as lowbrow as he pleases in the comfort of his nabe. 7. Bottom Shelf Beer: Bud Light Platinum vs. Bud Light Bud Light Platinum has fewer calories than Budweiser but higher alcohol. It's a pretty neat trick to increase alcohol while decreasing calories, so this seemed worth investigating. 8. Hangover Helper: Oyakodon Ah, the restorative powers of oyakodon. It means "parent and child," a winking reference to the fate of the chicken and egg poached in the same salty sweet broth and served together over warm rice. 9. Snapshots from Serious Eats Meetup Day 2012, NYC Many serious eaters in many cities all over the globe met up for Serious Eats Day on February 25. Check out photos from the meetup in Brooklyn! 10. 9 Bites We Love in San Antonio, Texas San Antonio can feel a little like Disneyland but it's worth getting off the main strip and checking out the stellar tortillas and authentic Mexican seafood, comforting Tex-Mex platters, chicken-fried steak, and tender barbecue.
