My name is Victor, creator of Thicc Vic, and I love to eat! I created this blog because I realized that I was spending too much money eating out without anything to show for it! With this blog, I plan to write reviews of my favorite restaurants across the world, share my Italian family's mealtime with you, and combine my passion for writing with my love for delicious food. All my life, I have never liked fruits or vegetables. My mom used to hide peas and carrots in my mashed potatoes as a kid to trick me into eating them. The quirk of Thicc Vic that stands out compared to other food blogs are my Veggie & Fruit Alerts! For people like me, with a dislike for nutritious and healthy rabbit-food, I let them know how to pick around them on a plate or warn them of their presence in the magnificent and scrumptious dishes I eat around the world! Veggie and fruit haters and fans alike are welcome here, and can enjoy the restaurants I recommend in any way they like. After working in the food industry for four years, I've realized that the world needs a lot less negative Yelp reviews and rude customers and a lot more positive, uplifting feedback from satisfied and impressed foodies! Therefore, all of my restaurant reviews will be nothing but positivity and praise towards these amazing eateries I discover! :) The world is a better place when we are kind to each other and boost each other up. You may think I have the palette of five-year-old, but I can be quite the snob (especially when it comes to authentic Italian food). So rest assured that I will post only the best food I find! I am a 20-year-old, Seattle-based graduate student at Hofstra University in New York pursuing a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing with a focus in Poetics. A proud University of Washington alum with a BA in English: Creative Writing, I have a passion for writing and living life to the fullest. I am a Myasthenia Gravis survivor and continue to advocate for a cure! Aside from eating, my hobbies include writing in all genres (poetry, fiction, playwriting, nonfiction), reading, playing video games (huge Nintendo fan), dancing, fencing, soccer, cello, traveling, and motivational speaking! Follow my other Instagram accounts and blogs for my hip hop, musical, poetic, and travel adventures! Dance - Cello - Poetry - Travel - I cannot wait to get this blog started! Let's mangia, mangia! ~Vic
