Connie & Ted’s Bacon Hook Burger | The Burger Crawl – Ep. 71

Interesting enough, over the last month I have begun to indulge in edibles. After at trip to MedMen's in West Hollywood, I found myself across the street at Connie & Ted's. Buying THC then going to eat seems like a pretty reasonable and exciting thing to do. Sadly, it may not have been so exciting. On this week's episode of The Burger Crawl, I tried Connie & Ted's Bacon Hook Burger. Was it good, well…?

Burgers N Brews w/ Steven Sievert | The Burger Crawl – Ep. 70

On this week's episode of The Burger Crawl, I am joined my fellow YouTuber, Steven Sievert. After about two or so months, he and I finally make it out to a long overdue lunch/dinner filming session. This shoot turns out to be the most rouge, and guerilla style filming on my channel to date.

I had the Big Boy Burger, and Steven had the Mexican Burger from Burgers N Brews in Santa Monica, CA. Each of us paired our burgers with beers we felt would be suiting to our taste, and the food we are eating. I had Goose Islands' Matilda, and Steven had the Golden Road's Wolf Among Weeds.

I hope you guys enjoy this episode of The Burger Crawl.

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:
