The Red Hot

The Red Hot is a pub located on 6th Ave. in Tacoma, Washington. This place was featured on an episode of "Chefs vs. City," where both teams had to consume several hot dog creations offered here. Since I was in the area in late January, I stopped by with a friend.

Legendary Doughnuts (Tacoma)

(Original Review -- May 2012 for the Auburn location)

I returned to Legendary Doughnuts at the end of January and met up with a fellow YouTuber in the process. Since my last review of this place, Legendary Doughnuts opened up a spot in Tacoma. Even though it's the same owner, I wanted to just cover the Tacoma experience here and provide a separate rating.

Jonathan's (Part 2)

(Original Review -- May 2011)

Jonathan's was among the barrage of original reviews that I uploaded when I first started this blog. Over a year and a half ago, I went with some co-workers, but this time, I returned alone to satisfy a craving that had built up for five days.

YouTube: Valentine's Day; McDonald's

(NOTE: The Rake & Herald published an article about me! I'm now known as "asbestos mouth" in the UK, lol. Check it out!)

Valentine's Day has come and gone. While many people were probably out spending quality time with their loved ones, I spent it alone enjoying great food. And frankly, I'm cool with that.

Meanwhile, several of us in the YouTube world came together again for another collab on Valentine's Day, the theme being hearts. As you can see from the video below, I took things quite literally. But trust me, it was pretty damn tasty. I'd definitely do it again.

Food Cravings: 10 Gyros I Like

Much like the Halloween Poutine Bender blog post I did late last year, I on occasion will have the occasional gyro craving. I've had the privilege of being able to try gyros at several different spots throughout the United States, mostly in the Pacific Northwest.

YouTube: Diablo Burrito; McRib; more

It's been a pretty good last couple of weeks for my YouTube channel. A couple of my older videos have finally surpassed 1,000 video views (trust me, that's a nice milestone in my book) and two of my most recent uploads have significantly upped the subscriber count. Thank you to all for your continued support!
