THE PICKIEST EATER WEB SERIES: EPISODE 2- FILIPINO FOOD 101 AT 49-B HEIRLOOM KITCHEN AND LEONARDO'S LECHON!

      After a very long wait (sorry na), Episode 2 of The Pickiest Eater Web Series is finally online! Life has gotten crazy since the Episode One, and my partner at Muvo Media and I finally buckled down to finish this. But fear not, because I assure you Episode 3 won't take another 6 months to finish hehe.. 

    So I think I've made you wait long enough.. In case you were wondering, Episode two features two food businesses.. 49-B Heirloom Kitchen, an amazing gem in the Scout area of Quezon City, and Leonardo's Lechon. The two businesses are run by cousins Erica Aquino and Nard Aquino (respectively), making this collaboration a family affair.. and It couldn't have been more fun!

   Ok so enough talking.. here we go!!

THE PICKIEST EATER, THE WEB SERIES - EPISODE ONE: THE BATTLE AT BURGERS AND BREWSKIES

      This has always been the dream.

      From that fateful day on June 25, 2010, when I first opened a blogger account and wrote the words, "Hello. My Name is RichieZ. And I am the Pickiest Eater In The World." this is was always the end game. 

      But let me make something clear.. I have no intention of being a food and travel show host of just any show. It had to be "The Pickiest Eater in The World" show, where I would have creative freedom to be me, and do the goof ball antics that you're used to seeing on my blog. This was always what I had wanted to do since I first saw Adam Richman take down "The Kitchen Sink" challenge in San Francisco (The very first episode I ever watched from Man V. Food), and food and travel was my calling. 

    I couldn't do it back in 2010. I didn't have the network of friends in the restaurant industry that I do today, who now made embarking on a production like this, relatively easy. Not to mention, I was not yet established as a food blogger, so my "followers" at that time consisted of me, my wife, my beloved Godmother in Long Beach (who always believes in me, no matter what venture I do. Love you Ninang!).   

   My partner in this Web Series, Muvo Media was not ready either. Mark Mijares, the man behind the Production AND Post Production of The Pickiest Eater Show, and I were working together in a Post House, whose busy schedule didn't allow for us to do very many side projects. 

     Thankfully, five years later, we came together at the perfect stages in our life to make this show a reality. Any blogger can make a Vlog. Hell, I've made quite a few myself over the years. But I can say in full confidence, that this is closer to a TV show than a Vlog, and I'm incredibly proud of what we've achieved.

    In fact, a bunch of blogger friends and I are going to be coming together to create more Blogger Web Series content for you all, which we intend to broadcast over a website we called, "The Band of Bloggers Network".. I think Episode 2 of The Pickiest Eater show will be aired there, so watch out for it!

     Thank you once again to Mark Mijares, Angela Sison, Rina Zamora, Chaika Barbero, and a very special shout out to the generosity of Marc Nocon and Donny Elvina of Burgers and Brewskies! 

    

   Anyway, enough with the talking! Here we go! I hope you enjoy!!
