J. Kenji López-Alt is a chef and food writer who first found fame creating "The Food Lab" blog for Serious Eats. He eventually spun that into a nearly 1,000 page book that won him his first James Beard Award. Since then, he started his own YouTube channel, wrote a kids book, and has been going restaurant-by-restaurant on a quest to eat ALL the teriyaki in Seattle. Fortunately, he found the time to answer our questions about Serious Feets.
