Best Daym Takeout
Drive-ins, diners and dives: Daymon Patterson, author of Eating Across America, is better known as Daym Drops, an American food critic, YouTube celebrity, and television presenter. He initially gained popularity on YouTube for his video review of a Five Guys takeoutmeal, which spawned a viral online song by the Gregory Brothers. He hosted Best Daym Takeout, a food-review oriented television program on the Travel Channel, based on his experiences and with certain aspects borrowed from his YouTube channel. "Best Daym Takeout", aired in 2013, with works featured on The Jimmy Fallon show. That's where Rachel Ray's Team found me, and brought me on for a few episodes before Rachel Ray offered me a position on the show as her Food Correspondent. I travel abroad, sampling dishes and many QSR locations, all to give them a Super Official Food Review from the front seat of my Truck.
Cheap eats, food trucks and street food: Shows like Diners, Drive-ins and Dives have never been more popular. And they have inspired a movement. More and more, people are packing up their cars and road tripping in search of cheap eats, food trucks and street food. Daym Drops offers Eating Across America for all traveling foodies.
Review
"[Daymon] began his career of delivering hilarious and insightful commentary on YouTube from the driver’s seat of his car...YouTube fame is fleeting, but a discerning palette? Now that’ll take you places." - Huffington Post
“It was a cold LA afternoon sometime around 2013. I was gearing up to bang out a YouTube collab video with some of the internet's most promising stars. In walks a man I only knew of as a legend. A man, larger than life not only in reputation, but in stature. For me, I had one job that day. Create a meal that would rival this man’s past food reviews and make an impression on his taste bud brain. This man, was Daymon Patterson, aka Daym Drops. We hit it off right away and our friendship was birthed. Fast forward many years later, and we’re both still at it. Our paths have crossed many times through TV, Internet, and just our straight up love for all things food. If there’s another person’s taste buds that I would take into battle, it would be Daym’s. Not only does he know what tastes good, looks good, and holds together well, he knows what doesn't! If there was any sort of food almanac, food bible, or food manual, this would be it. If you hold food dear to your heart, then this book should be held to your gut.” - Josh Elkin, Host for Cooking Channel's Sugar Showdown
“Having become friends with Daym Drops -- after he hilariously, and quite candidly, reviewed my families Wahlburgers restaurant -- I quickly realized that behind the outrageous comedy of his uniquely outrageous internet food reviews, is an incredibly unique man. A man with a giant heart, matched only by his giant frame and equally giant appetite. But, whether you know him personally or not, one thing is clear to anyone whose laughed their asses off to his culinary critiques - Daym Drops knows food! As a food critic, and as a friend, I give him five stars -- and you better believe the screen is shaking too, foodie fam!" -Donnie Wahlberg, co-owner of Wahlburgers
“Daym is my foodie match…a rock star!” - Rachael Ray
"YouTube star and food reviewer Daymon "Daym Drops" Patterson is here to help before you run out the door." - Los Angeles Times
