Behold… the reviews cometh.

YOU: “So… we get it. You eat out all the time. Where the hell are the reviews and comments?”

ME: “…um …uh… shit”

Truth is, I have dozens of reviews written and ready to post. The problem? I’m just plain self conscious about writing and publishing a big chunk of critical text. My job has me writing, writing, writing several hours a day and practically drains the creative jucies out of my skull.

Adding to the pressure, my career and lifestyle surrounds me with great food writing by pros and non-pros both locally and nationally. On the flip side, there are tons of lame reviewers out there.

So where will I fit in? What will my peers think?

After a pep talk from my saucy little gal pal in food, I’ve finally have the confidence to start posting some of these reviews. No more excuses.

The Plan: Go with what you know.

Readers, expect a different take on food and dining reviews. Not for the sake of being different, but because I can only publish materials using the voice/medium that I’m most confident in.

Or should that be confident with.

Hell. See what I mean about confidence?

…coming soon: reviews on JuxtaPalate

    Can't wait, Ty! Be true to yourself and we'll all love it! Don't overthink and keep your sense of humor. Plus, keep in mind – everyone loves you! How can you do wrong! :)

    I hear you on this one. I struggle with the same thing: to post or not to post. My finger hovers over the “post” button some sometimes I just hit “save” instead.

    Can't wait to hear what you think of various places in AZ.

    I'm glad to see your take on this. I thought about blogging reviews but just can't bring myself to do it. Just feels like there are already enough out there.

    I love the fact that you're putting a twist on this. Loved your El Coquito post. Hoping for more of the same!
