FOMO an abbreviation of the term “Fear Of Missing Out” it is also a nickname that i’ve earned after my - Obvious - fear of missing out.
Yet my type of fear is a little bit more exclusive…
i don’t seem to have a problem when it come to missing out on events, hiking trips, nights out nor get togethers. It is a very specific type of fear.
So let me re-introduce myself,
Hello, My name is The FOMO Guy and i am afraid of missing out - ON FOOD -
From that fear I started to develop certain traits and habits, but i prefer calling them skills for their added value. I can summarize those skills in 5 main points:
1- I can now make room to consume meals from 7 to 8 places per day, YES per day not per trip.
2- I’ve developed mad research skills when it comes to visiting new towns or countries and I can confidently say that i will always know whats good to eat ANYWHERE on this planet. this skill was mainly developed because time is precious when traveling and culinary experiences represent 50% of my joy during each trip (50% is me being conservative) so basically, i don’t have any time to waste thinking about where or what to eat.
3- I started to create secret menus/off-the-menu food experiences within existing restaurant.
4- I work on my own product collaborations between restaurants.
5- And one last skill that I might disclose later
So hopefully by starting this series of articles I’d be sharing some stories, secret menus, secret products, host food collaborations and share my personal international food experiences.

The Grilled cheese sandwich at FIVE GUYS.
FIVE GUYS’ grilled cheese sandwich, is basically American cheese between 2 burger buns, it’s simple & good theres no doubt about that.
What i usually do, is take that grilled cheese sandwich and add an extra beef patty - and no that doesnt make it a burger - just a simple grilled cheese and beef patty sandwich. What makes the sandwich special is the extra grilling of all the ingredients together, that extra hot & melty mouth feel is a game changer. Lastly, the thing that makes a grilled cheese sandwich superior to all others is that crispy aromatic crust formed for the added melted butter. And in this case its the melted/grilled extra crispy mayo crust.
P.S. I do it grilled cheese style on their hotdogs as well *bigA$5smile*
