In the last week of 2019, we want to thank you for following us and embracing Heated. We couldn’t do it without you — and we appreciate your support as we move into the new decade.

Since the Heated launch, you’ve shown us that you’ve been engaged by stories on health and nutrition, how Big Ag affects us, restaurants, and, of course, cooking. Here’s a look back at our 12 — well, 13, with a tie — most popular stories of 2019.

Whether it’s before the end of the year or well into 2020, we are happy to hear from you (and if you don’t hear back from us right away, we will be in touch — promise). Don’t hesitate to reach out in the comments or through heatedbybittman@gmail.com. Happy New Year and thanks for reading.
