Honest Opinion

01 /What I do

1

Restaurant reviews

I pay, I eat, I tell you what to order and what to skip. Mostly the Capital Region, sometimes a road trip.

2

Recipes and long form cooking

Short recipe videos on TikTok and Instagram. I recently started long form cooking on YouTube, where there's room to actually show the steps.

3

Brand partnerships and sponsored series

I work with brands my audience actually uses. Around 90% of the people watching live right here in the Capital Region.

Must Try

The egg sandwich was next level. I could come back for that any day. The breakfast platter and pancakes were exactly what you'd expect.
