Deep Fried Burger at Wood & Vine | The Burger Crawl – Ep. 47 Quincy James Freeman12 February 2016030 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 2016061 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 2016043 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.

Bacon Brussels Sprouts | Reverse Cheat Day – Ep. 0 Quincy James Freeman25 January 2016059 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.

The Federal Burger | The Burger Crawl – Ep. 43 Quincy James Freeman20 January 2016036 views Many times I will eat a burger, and admittedly feel sluggish afterwards.

Cinnamon Crumb Fried Chicken Burger | The Burger Crawl – Ep. 37 Quincy James Freeman14 October 2015034 views The Cinnamon Crumb Fried Chicken Burger at Chomp Eatery in Santa Monica, has Pumpkin Spiced aioli. That has been the focus of the media coverage over this sandwich. However that is not my focus. My question and concern is whether or not this "burger" is a burger at all? In my humble opinion a burger can use just about any meat, but to qualify as a burger, said meat must be ground and formed into a patty. This is a very good, and well executed fried chicken sandwich, and all the flavors work together to create an experience worth trying. The Cinnamon Fried Chicken Burger is available through the month of October 2015, and possibly will be extended, but I would not count on a extension, get your's today! SUBSCRIBE!!! – http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=Cuethecritic The Burger Crawl – http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3Dju8d3K4jm2KnmuRSV7QsX3bkWHxbTZ https://www.instagram.com/cuethecritic | https://fb.me/cuethecritic The Hamburger ["burger"] sandwich is, indubitably, a sandwich; though a sandwich is not always a hamburger. I come from the school of thought that a burger patty is a ground meat formed into a patty then grilled, charbroiled, or fried in a skillet. I believe that the term burger is a cooking and preparation technique as well as a type of food. Thereby the Cinnamon Crumb Fried Chicken Burger at Chomp Eatery is without a doubt, a fried chicken sandwich!

Buffalo Bill at Hopdoddy Burger Bar | The Burger Crawl – Ep. 35 Quincy James Freeman5 October 2015031 views Taking recommendations for The Burger Crawl may be one of the best things I can do. Earlier this year a subscriber recommended Hopdoddy Burger Bar to me, and at the time they were only located in Texas. A couple months later, I took a trip to Fry's Electronics in Manhattan Beach, CA; and noticed a sign that said Hopdoddy across the street. I was pleasantly surprised, though disappointed that I do not have to travel to Texas to try Hopdoddy. On today's episode I try the Buffalo Bill Burger. Which I must say, was pretty good, but not as good as a future episode of The Burger Crawl.

Fork + Knife at The Counter Burger | The Burger Crawl – Ep. 33 Quincy James Freeman20 September 2015033 views Oddly enough I would wager that I probably should have eaten the Fork + Knife at The Counter Burger with a fork and knife, but what do I know about following obviously instructions? The Fork + Knife Burger features hormone & antibiotic-free beef, baby spinach, oven-roasted tomato, parmesan fries, The Counter's signature steak sauce, all between a brioche style bun.

As the waiter described it to me, I took interest in it because of the topping of Parmesan cheese fries. What I received immediately too my mind to a place of Monkey Style Burger with a gourmet and elegant twist. A good burger with an intense flavor profile to appease the burger snob within you.

13 Burgers, 1 Beer at L.A. Weekly’s Burgers & Beer | The Burger Crawl – Ep. 29 Quincy James Freeman20 August 2015050 views L.A. Weekly's has hosted the first ever Burgers and Beer Festival in Los Angeles, at least to my knowledge. There were over 35 different burger restaurants and craft breweries represented at the festival held at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on August 8, 2015. I tried 13 different burger sliders, and one beer. 😀 Sandra's Tastemade Channel – https://www.tastemade.com/@heysandra The Venice Whalter's IG – https://www.instagram.com/thevenicewhaler SUBCRIBE!!! – http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=Cuethecritic The Burger Crawl – http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3Dju8d3K4jm2KnmuRSV7QsX3bkWHxbTZ https://www.instagram.com/cuethecritic | https://fb.me/cuethecritic 13 Burgers sliders and 1 Craft Beer is what I tried at L.A. Weekly's first annual Burgers and Beer Festival. The event was held at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, and proved to be one of my favorite festivals of the season; not dethroning Bacon & Barrels, of course. Prior to knowing about Burgers and Beer, and on the cusp of starting my YouTube channel (and this series: The Burger Crawl), I thought I would be the first to bring a burger #FoodFestival to Los Angeles. Maybe one day I will or LA Weekly will let me help with their's. No matter what the future holds, I truly enjoyed the experience.
