Preface

Who knows? Perhaps I am looked at as the man about town who could truly appreciate his food experiences when the food brings MORE than just character to my palette.

White table cloth Michelin star dining rooms and hot dog vendors at Central Park all have one thing in common: experience. They all want you to not just taste the food, but to experience it.

I want the full experience when it comes down to each bite. There are times that I sit in my vehicle, just thinking where should I go next for a food review? I want to be inspired by my food. Inspired in a way that I can look directly into the camera and scream out upon the mountaintops just how GOOD this burger, chicken sandwich, pizza, taco, hot dog truly is; but in my line of work, that is not always the case.

I do not always get lost in the moment of pure tasteful bliss and more times than not, I am met with some foods that should have never made it to the menu. But because we spend our hard-earned money everywhere, from 5-star dishes to a fast food burger, our expectations tend to be that we should be met with value worthy of our time for each bite…but that’s not always the case. THAT is where I come in: The YouTube Food Titan.

I hope that this guide helps you get closer to your taste buds. By the last page I want you to understand what food means; what the experience of eating from a food truck or cheap eats dive actually means to the cooks, the chefs, the owners, and most importantly, you. So let’s get started!
