Let us guess: You love the world of food, but you don’t have all day to comb through the latest viral food trends, ingenious cooking hacks, and next-level recipes.

You’re on a time crunch, which is why we're bringing you YumCrunch.

Every week, we’ll bring you our favorite highlights in food media, making sure you never miss a beat… and never waste a bite.


Here are our Top 5 favorite moments in food media this week:

 

Stupid Wet Thigh

In 30 seconds, @NYTCooking’s Chef Ham El-Waylly legit transforms us into better cooks by showing us how to create the perfect sear, and how to avoid a crappy one.

Bacon Pancakes

We’re makin’ bacon pancakes, and it’s already extra. But @official_nathan_cintron’s soulful serenade to @notorious_foodie's fluffy, porky stack covered in glistening streams of maple syrup has some serious drip.
 

Good to the Last Oily Drop

If you like your coffee like your men, and you like your men strong and oily, this one’s for you. Last week, Starbucks announced Oleato, a new line of coffee drinks whose magic ingredient is… olive oil. Check out @goldenbrown.coffee’s spin on the questionable combo; he was way ahead of the green mermaid.

This Burger Slays

Chain – the IYKYK SoCal popup from World Chef Tim Hollingsworth & B.J. Novak – struck again in Hollywood over the weekend, this time serving up a burger-and-fries Stabby Meal for a killer collab with Scream 3, which drops March 10. (We don’t care if you see the movie or not; we’re just here for the food.)
 

Less Math, More Cake

File under YAAAASSSSS! Molecular bio PhD (nbd) influencer @sugarologie101 created and coded this where-have-you-been-all-my-life baking tool. Select your cake flavor, pan size, filling, and frosting, and the Cakeculator formulates an exact, customized recipe with all the calculations done for you. Savage.
