I haven't visited ever since their redesign a few weeks ago removed their RSS feeds.

Ah, that would be why I hadn't seen any recipes from them in some time. Not even their announcement of the redesign, since the feed stopped updating right before that went up…

I'll send them some feedback—hopefully it was just a side-effect of the redesign, and they can re-add one without too much trouble.

It's a side effect of an acquisition, the original ownership has changed hands.

They also changed the URLs of all the recipes, which previously had dates in them (luckily the old ones still redirect for now).

This was useful as recently they've been republishing a lot of old content, and it was easy to see if that was the case by hovering over the URL. They've even changed the date on the recipe page to "last edited" - a couple of old ones I was looking up yesterday from 2016 now have 2020 at the top.

I personally find this super frustrating because I used to be able to tell when I wrote something by visiting serious eats. Now I have to search through my old archive hard drives which is way harder. Unfortunately I have no role at serious eats currently so can’t really push back on that.
