Pork Bahn Mi at Slater’s 50/50 | The Burger Crawl – Ep. 50 Quincy James Freeman5 March 2016037 views I am almost ready to reliant my war on Slater's 50/50, and their ability to produce an Asian-fusion burger. In 2014 I wrote a blog post stating publicly and unapologetically that this style of burger was the Achilles's heel of the chef at that time. However, since then I have had two amazing Asian-fusion burgers. The Burger of the month for March 2016 at Slater's 50/50 is the Pork Bahn Mi Burger. It features an Asian-spiced pork patty, romaine lettuce, pickled carrots, jalapeno, and daikons, fried kimchee, Gochujang Mayo, and teriyaki pork belly; all on a french bun.

Red Robin’s Big Ghost Burger | The Burger Crawl – Ep. 49 Quincy James Freeman28 February 2016047 views After a long day of filming, MotomanTV, Jeff Fu (of Wreckless Eating), and I find ourselves at Red Robin getting drunk off Bottomless Rootbeer Floats. On this week's episode of The Burger Crawl I try the Big Ghost Burger, which I suspected has Ghost Chilis in it, but turns out it was only Jalepeno. The burger was flavorful, and packed a child's punch of heat and spice. While good, it was not the abuse that I am used from something with the word Ghost in the name. In the near future, Motoman and I have planned to spend out time gulping down bottomless rootbeer floats whilst playing monopoly. This is some sort of tradition he has, and loves immensely. Today's episode, in my opinion, was more about good friends, and a good time than it was about the burger. Who would have thought that rootbeer floats (and its aftermath) was the commonality that binds the three of us?

Fuddruckers’ 3lb Challenge RAW & UNCUT | The Burger Crawl – Ep. 48.5 Quincy James Freeman23 February 2016036 views My subscriber, Jervon Hicks-Crymes, asked for this video, so here is the raw and uncut version of the Fuddruckers' 3lb Burger Challenge. Edited short version – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iJ8tvdNHWk Sometimes you win, sometimes you do not. This time I really tried but failure was inevitable. Annually Fuddrucker's has their 3lb Burger challenges to celebrate Fat Tuesday, and ring in the Mardi Gras celebration. At the behest of Wreckless Eating's Jeff Fu, I called and reserved my place in what would become a burger challenge history. The Fuddruckers' 3lb challenge is pretty straightforward. The challenger is to complete a 3lb Burger (before cooking), 1lb of french fries, and all the soda or drinks you want. Explicit Language. Parental Discretion is advised.

Deep Fried Burger at Wood & Vine | The Burger Crawl – Ep. 47 Quincy James Freeman12 February 2016032 views I met chef Kyle Schutte when he was the executive chef at Roadhouse L.A. (now closed permanently). The man is a culinary genius, and his food certainly makes for great leftovers. That's a big deal in my world. Chef Schutte has gone on to being the chef at Wood & Vine in Hollywood, CA. On this episode of The Burger Crawl I try his Deep-fried hamburger. The concept was truly foreign to me, but after tasting it, I was taken by surprised, and truly enjoyed the texture.

Necco, A Japanese Tapas Restaurant | Reverse Cheat Day – Ep. 1 Quincy James Freeman8 February 2016063 views Eating is something that I do more for pleasure than any other reason. I love food, but it would stand to reason to correct that statement by saying I love junk food. I came up with the idea for Reverse Cheat Day while at a party, and talking to some vegans about The Burger Crawl. In my position as a food blogger, I am often invited to try new restaurant, or new to me restaurants. That is the case here, and it could not have happened at a better time. Necco in Westwood, CA is a Japanese restaurant on the westside that takes a small plate look at healthier eating than I am used to. The dishes are prepared with locally-sourced produce, and decorated with flowers. It is creative, healthy, and refreshing. Necco is not a vegan or vegetarian restaurant but it is a place where meat eaters and vegetarians can go together without having the pressure of choosing between the two worlds.

Daddy O’s Rockin Cafe | The Burger Crawl – Ep. 46 Quincy James Freeman5 February 2016047 views Daddy O's Rockin Cafe is a new dive-style restaurant located in Downtown Upland. They have great burgers, great deli-sandwiches, and Thrifty brand ice cream. It is a local establishment owned and operated by Sheri Dyches, who has a deep passion for burgers, and hearty food that uses locally-sourced ingredients. Wreckless Eating's Matt Zion and I decided to have lunch here, and I think video was a pinnacle moment in my friendship with Wreckless Eating's Matt Zion, as well as the relationship with you, my YouTube audience. It comes on the cusp of my first appearance on Wreckless Eating's Main Show series (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kju5JFBJWHM). Matt and I found ourselves having lunch together at Daddy O's Rockin Cafe in Upland, CA. He gave me bits of advice, and assisted me with opening up on camera, and being myself. It was truly a pleasurable, and enlightening experience.

Slater’s 50/50’s Stuffed Lasagna Burger | The Burger Crawl – Ep. 45 Quincy James Freeman3 February 2016032 views Like many the Pizza Burger is my favorite burger at Slater's 50/50. I was glad to see it added to the menu, but disappointed that I would not have it to look forward to every February. Well, that sentiment has been quelled with the Stuffed Lasagna Burger. Sadly, however, I am not sure if I am looking forward to having it again next year.

Bacon Brussels Sprouts | Reverse Cheat Day – Ep. 0 Quincy James Freeman25 January 2016065 views I would imagine that most people have their personal dietary health at the forefront of their minds when they decide what to eat on a day-to-day basis. I do not. I eat what I want with no active concern on whether it is good for me or not. I like eating hamburgers, pork chops, bloodied red meat, and sweets. Over the last few months I have noticed that I have gained a noticeable amount of weight. In trying to curb my weight-gain, and take care of my body, I have decides to eat healthy in a series I call "Reverse Cheat Day." On this first episode of Reverse Cheat Day, I gleefully indulge in the Bacon Brussels Sprouts side dish available at The Federal Bar. The Federal Bar has 3 locations, one in North Hollywood, CA; Long Beach, CA; and Brooklyn, NY. I would like to believe I am off to a good start in my journey through healthy eating. What do you think? Leave a comment below, and let's discuss other healthy foods I should try.
