“A writer, like a boxer, must stand alone…having your words published, like entering a ring, puts your talents on display; and there’s no where to hide. The truth is revealed, and sometimes, the results can be disastrous…”

– Resurrecting the Champ (2007)

 

About Cue the Critic

Cue the Critic, Your Guide to Gastronomic Decadence | Because everything you eat has some effect on you.  You might as well savor the journey.

This site doesn’t have a specific theme or goal – it’s simply a place for me to share my love of food. I enjoy eating, of course, but I’m also fascinated by the preparation, the artistry, and the overall experience. I love exploring new restaurants and eateries, and I often have opinions or stories to share about them. That’s where this website comes in.

Surprisingly, I also enjoy cooking, even though I wouldn’t call myself a natural. I can follow recipes and YouTube videos, and I’ll be sharing some of those culinary adventures here as well.

Cue the Critic is all about celebrating the joys of food – even the indulgent ones. Almost everything we eat, whether at a restaurant or at home, has the potential to be unhealthy. My philosophy? It might as well taste good!

From mouthwatering photos to honest reviews and personal stories, this site is a smorgasbord of food-related content. So grab a fork (or a spoon!), and dig in!

 

About the Author

 

My name is Quincy Freeman, but please call me Cue. I’m a lifelong food enthusiast. Ever since I was a kid, I’ve had an insatiable appetite, starting with In-N-Out fries on a cross-country road trip with my dad and Uncle Ronnie. That sparked a years-long journey exploring all kinds of cuisine.  With the rise of reality TV, blogs, and YouTube, I found myself inspired to try even more dishes. Throughout my life, I’ve been known for two things: my love of food and my impressive capacity for it.

You can contact me by e-mail, find me on Instagram, on Facebook or follow me on the Twitter.  Follow me on Tastemade to see my mini-series of foodie adventures.

 

You don’t say?

• Red is my favorite color.
• Contrary to popular belief among my friends, I don’t consume excessive amounts of bacon.
• I failed 9th-grade English and struggled with reading and writing well into adulthood.
• I do enjoy some vegetables. Broccoli, snap peas, winter peas, and asparagus are my favorites. I also like raw carrots, but not so much when they’re cooked.
• Depending on the situation, I can be either extremely shy or quite arrogant and prudish.
• I prefer pie over cake.  Sometimes I like cupcakes, though.  I absolutely love Carrot Cake.
• For me, cooking for a woman is the ultimate expression of love and how deeply I care for her.

Behind the Scenes

This blog is powered by WordPress, using the TrueMag theme by Cactus Themes

So far, the some photos on this blog were taken with an iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPhone 5S or Nikon D40 w/ the kit lens or a Nikon 55-200mm f4-5.6G ED AF-S DX Nikkor Zoom Lens, respectively.  When the images are cropped or edited [many are not] I use Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended, or Adobe Lightroom.

It’s worth noting that I’m acquainted with some of the restaurant owners I write about. However, this doesn’t influence my opinions. For those I haven’t met, I often make an effort to introduce myself and let them know I’m a frequent customer and a big fan of their establishment.
