Mint Leaf Pasadena with RKVC | Reverse Cheat Day – Ep. 2

On this episode of Reverse Cheat Day I head north of Los Angeles to Pasadena, CA. Accompanied by my good friends, RKVC, we try Mint Leaf Pasadena, an Indian cuisine restaurant with impeccable tastings. Rod of RKVC is vegetarian, and a vince is gluten-free. I, of course, have no eating restrictions other than preference and personal palette. When i was invited to Mint Leaf i immediately thought this dynamic duo would be the perfect pair of people to join me. I am glad to have filmed this episode of Reverse Cheat Day, a series where i step away from my normal eating habits of burgers and fries, and into the light of what i consider healthy or somewhat healthy, kinda. Please sit back and relax as we go through a series of appetizers, entrees, and a dessert offering that is good enough for the gods.

Tom Urban’s 5 Minute Frog Legs Eating Challenge w/ FreakEating | (Unedited Version)

Tom's Urban is a chain restaurant founded in Denver, CO with an additional locations in Los Angeles. In this video FreakEating's Nader and I face off in a 5 minute eating challenge. We have 5 minutes to eat as many of Tom Urban's breaded frog legs. The frog legs are apart of their new Beat the Clock Happy Hour menu.

Unlike Nader, I have had frog legs before, and I truly enjoy them. I disagree that they taste like chicken though. They remind you of a chicken wing tip, but they are distinctly different in taste. I believe that taste is more similar to that of alligator, or some other white meat fish.

Check out the edited version of this challenge on the FreakEating channel:

The Yorker @ Burger City Grill – Lomita | The Burger Crawl – Ep. 65

On this week's episode of The Burger Crawl I visit Burger City Grill in Lomita, CA. Burger City Grill is a very nice version of like The Habit, it has that type of style and decor. I had The Yorker Burger which is basically like a deli sandwich with a burger patty on it. It is very clean and healthy. When you see the pictures of you fat friends eating something from Tom's on Vermont & Florence, you can tell them to enjoy their heart attack while you have the clean version on the same thing.

Lunch w/ Slater’s 50/50’s Chef Tony | The Burger Crawl – Ep. 64

It has been a few month's since I have filmed or updated The Burger Crawl. Life happened, I got sick, I've been out of town, so on and so on. I apologize dearly for this, but am glad to be back with a new episode, and to have had lunch with my friend, Chef Tony Gurkse of Slater's 50/50. On this episode we go back in time, and Chef Tony prepares The Jalepeno Burger which was September 2016's BOM, as well as, The Thanksgiving Burger which is the November BOM. I enjoyed both, and learned a bit about Slater's executive chef. I hope you enjoy it.

L.A. Times’ The Taste 2016 | Meeting Cue Anthony – Ep. 2

A food festival should give you an anticipation for the event. On this week's episode of Meeting Cue Anthony, I attend Los Angeles Times' The Taste. The Taste, in opinion, is the culmination of Los Angeles' summertime food festival season, which starts with The West Coast Barbecue Classic in May. Both of which are my favorite food festivals of the year.

The Taste happens on the weekend before Labor Day, and is held on the backlot of Paramount Pictures. It is a 3 day event starting with a VIP gala on Friday night, followed by a day and night sessions on Saturday and Sunday.

Watch me enjoy myself at The Taste, I hope to see you there next year.

Taco Bell Doubledilla after Dentist | Meeting Cue Anthony – Ep. 1

As many of my subscribers know or if you go back and watch older episodes of The Burger Crawl, you'll see that I have had a bad wisdom tooth on the lower right side of my mouth for just about a year or so. On this inaugural episode of Meeting Cue Anthony, my friend and client, Dr. Ndidi Onugha-Uka removes my wisdom tooth, carefully, painlessly and with the utmost professionalism. Upon completion I follow Dr. Uka's instructions on not eating a big greasy burger. I wrecked my brain trying to figure out what soft food items could I eat as well as enjoy. It's pretty interesting to see what I came up with.
