In college, the student run newspaper I wrote for, The Lantern, had a section called "Masticating in Public." Genius title, that phrase never left my side and I always had an endearing place for it somewhere deep down. Now it has become my muse:
Masticate (v): transitive verb to grind or crush something until it turns to pulp
That definition alone is the guiding spirit for this blog. While posts will mostly focus on an aforementioned love of music, food and Chicago experiences, I was raised to enjoy life, take advantage of crazy opportunities presented and spread the word through story.
Mr-Masticator is my soapbox. Nothing is safe. Nothing is foreign. Ready to rumble. Tread lightly.
About Me
- Shriner
- Chicago, IL, United States
- Burg·er (bûr g r) n. 1. A sandwich consisting of a bun, a cooked beef patty, and often other ingredients such as cheese, onion slices, lettuce, or condiments. Often used in combination. 2. A similar sandwich with a nonbeef filling. Often used in combination. 3. Fiend (f nd) n. One who is particularly adept at something. My entire life I’ve been a meat and potatoes type of guy, however the hamburger alone has a serious track record of captivating my attention. For as long as I can remember, the burger in its many iterations has been a staple of my culinary delights and the creation of this site is in essence – equal parts humor and homage – a celebration of the patty and an ode to those who make them best. For most of my professional career I have worked in public relations in Chicago (currently at Edelman), within the food & beverage and brand marketing sectors. The opinions expressed on “The Burger Fiend” are my own and do not necessarily represent those of my employer.
