So here we are....

...at my new food blog. I wanted to make a food blog that seeks out the more famous campus hot spots to eat at various colleges in the Midwest, Southeast and Northeast. The catch is that I'm not a food critic or an expert on food matters. I want to chronicle the reaction of a small town guy who lacks the refined palate of famous chefs and food critics and grab his initial reaction to the mix of flavors and smells of the restaurants that satisfy the high calorie, high flavor requirements of rowdy college football fans.

I'm not poor, but I can't travel all over the United States so I'm limiting my experiences to areas that are within driving distance of my home state of West Virginia. In my selection of schools I will hit a variety of small and large colleges. My target schools and dates for 2010 are the following:

February 2010

West Virginia University
Marshall University

March 2010

Ohio State University
Ohio University
April 2010

Penn State University
Pittsburgh University

June 2010

Florida State University

August 2010

Virginia Tech
University of Cincinnati

September 2010

Rutgers University

October 2010

Michigan University

I'll post the restaurants that I plan to attend after some research and will give a preview before leaving for each one.
