Passionate about food and ready for fun, critic Daym Drops drops in on America's smokin' hot spots for the best, freshest takes on fried food.

I'm two and a half episodes in, and this show is very entertaining.

I watched the first two episodes and while I generally like it, I wish Daym would lay off all the rhyming. It comes off as a little too try hard, and since he's eating interesting things, he doesn't need to rely on that gimmick.

When he initially took a bite of the vegan fried chicken sandwich, I thought well, if you cover something in batter, fry it, soak it in spicy sauce, add ranch, then put it in a bun, how much of the vegan chicken are you really tasting? So I was glad when he took a bite of the naked chicken to see what it tasted like on its own. I'm not vegan but I would definitely try that sandwich!

That whole fried peach sounded delicious. The only drawback I could think of would be accidentally biting the pit.

Every time he takes a bite of something I wonder "How is he going to keep that off his beard?"

Same, so I laughed during the segment where he was talking to the camera and then said something along the lines of "I don't even care if there's food in my beard right now because that was so good!"

Be sure to watch the Vegas episode, it has Jaime from the current season of Top Chef in it.
