Hello curious reader,
Welcome folks to the beginning of what I hope is a brilliant project.
The Adventures of the Accidental Food Critic. (The title alone is exciting.)
This was inspired by my contributions to food reviews for the weekend edition of the DePaulia, which was run by the incredibly dedicated (and hilarious) Joanie Faletto.
Since I am no longer writing (semi)professionally for a legit publication (The DePaulia), I have decided to continue as a freelance writer. I chose to do food since I can cover and discover many places. Also, it's tough to review movies and talk to actors and filmmakers when you are not working for a legit publication. Which means no more press screenings. Sad, I know.
This new blog will include my posts/reviews about various adventures I have at restaurants, bars, bar/grills, bakeries, and other places where one can get food and/or drinks. But mostly food.
My goal is to cover and write about a new place twice a week. I will not cover chains (i.e. Bennigan's, unless one of them unveils a very intriguing dish that I cannot resist trying) nor will I write about obvious places that have been to a million times (like Nuevo Leon in Pilsen). Sometimes I will write about a bakery/cafe and sometimes I might write about bacon. Who knows. The important thing is to discover new places and to write consistently. Who knows, maybe some people will follow this blog and I could get picked up for something (like writing for a legit publication).
Until then, let the adventures of the accidental food critic begin.

P.S. I figure a song about eating would be appropriate to end this first post. The first official review will be posted shortly.
