The Grassfed Burger from Upland Will Make You Feel Like a Kid

Posted on 06/21/2017 by Rev

Did you grow up eating McDonalds?

I did, and I liked it so much that one day I went to work there.

I learned a lot about teamwork, foodservice, franchising and leadership. The Golden Arches have had a profound effect on my love of business and Cheeseburgers. I wouldn’t be who I am without them.


Why do I bring this up attached to a photo of the very tasty Burger from Upland?

Because this Burger takes me back through all of that!  The Upland Burger is made with grass fed beef and topped with American cheese, peppadew peppers + avocado. I loved it and it reminded me of a Big Mac, mind you in a super chef-driven, carefully made gourmet kind of way.

I also thought the service and ambience at Upland was perfect.

There’s no way I could possibly have all those feelings impact me so much had I not grown up loving the McD’s. If you also grew up on the Big Mac, PLEASE go eat this Burger. It’s ticking all the right boxes!

The Increíble Chicken Torta From Tortaria

Posted on 06/20/2017 by Rev

It’s seldom that I get excited, and I mean REALLY amped, about a chicken sandwich. In fact, most times when I’m eating a ??, I’m wishing it was a ?.

So with that in mind, I’m telling you that the Milanesa de Pollo from Tortaria is volteando increíble!!! (Thanks Google Translate.)

The menu reads; panko-crusted chicken cutlet cooked until golden brown and served with spicy black beans, melted Oaxaca cheese, avocado, pickled red onion and jalapeño, chipotle mayo and cilantro sprigs. It’s so good.

The Burger and fries were quite excellent as well, but we will get to those in another post.

Thanks to @hungryhippie_ for the introduction!

The Best Oatmeal You’ll Ever Eat

Posted on 06/16/2017 by Rev

Never in my life have I ever chosen one restaurant over another because of oatmeal. Well that’s no longer the case thanks to SNUG on the Square in McKinney, TX!

The peach blackberry cobbler is not just the best oatmeal I’ve ever eaten but I would drive out of my way to get it.


Holy smokes.

And … if that’s not enough for you, the pimento cheese sandwich with bacon and candied jalapeños on dark molasses toast is from another planet. And by another planet I mean something this delicious has to have descended upon us from a heavenly body.


Eat them now.

It’s Chicken Parm … Inside a Garlic Knot

Posted on 06/12/2017 by Rev

It’s a mini chicken parm…in side an over-sized garlic knot.

I was considering writing a lengthy endorsement filled with a cornucopia of colorful, graphic and drool worthy descriptors, but I think that opening sentence really delivers everything it needs to.

If you’re not into chicken parm or garlic knots, you can immediately turn away. If these are items that get your cravings kicking into gear, the pure marriage of these two items should drive enough desire to want one.

The fact that you’re tuning into my words and photographical delivery of the existence of this item means we’ve built some trust. In other words, if I’m sharing it, I’m endorsing it and that’s what you expect from me.

So if that sentence does what it’s intended to do, you’re already planning a visit to Hold My Knots at Urbanspace Broadway Bites.

I’ll see you there.

Stout’s Angry Burger at Broadway Bites

Posted on 06/07/2017 by Rev

Get yourself over to Urbanspace’s BroadwayBites and crush the Angry Burger from Stout!

After the Burger has been grilled it takes a bath in Frank’s hot sauce and then gets topped with Maytag blue cheese and crispy onions.

I slipped through in my commute home to eat it because I’m a multi-tasker like that. But you however, can grab a table and enjoy a tasty ?  outside.

Thanks to RVD Communications for putting together the tasting. Me, I’m going to Stout tonight for another round!

Roberta’s Pizza Madison Square Eats

Posted on 06/01/2017 by Rev

A near perfect moment happened to me today. I was just getting hungry for lunch.

While scrolling through Instagram I came across a photo that almost had me biting my phone from @skinnypignyc.

It was a pizza from Roberta’s Pizza.

Then I remembered they had a pop up across the street from my office Urban Space’s Mad Sq Eats. Emailed Asia from RVD Communications as I walked over.

She quickly responded suggesting the Bee Sting Pizza with spicy soppressata and honey.

Minutes later I had that pizza (and a Margherita) in my hand!
