For me, Serious Eats is like a first-born child. When I joined Apperceptive, Serious Eats was my first project. Continuing the analogy, today is the site's Bar Mitzvah; today Serious Eats becomes a man.

Like all new sites, the Eaters spent some time figuring out what the site would be about. While they'll continue their great feature stories and videos, they've built up their Talk forums to include recipes and an eating out section. They also spent a lot of time making it easier to find the newest content on the homepage. To top it off, they unveiled an elegant new design that ties everything together.

Apperceptive was at their side helping to test and deploy the new site in addition to reconfiguring the site infrastructure to allow for future growth. Enough talk though, go read!
