Grub Grade Picks Up Where Fast Food Critic Left Off—With Hockey Masks!

Longtime Serious Eats readers are no doubt familiar with the site Fast Food Critic and its proprietor, Timothy, who posts on Serious Eats as FastFoodCritic. After his full-time job became too demanding for him to maintain FFC at the level readers came to expect, he quit.
That left contributors to his site in a sticky spot. They still wanted to carry on reviewing but didn't have an outlet. One of those writers, Ryan, started his own site, Grub Grade, and wrote to let us know he's picked up FFC's mantle:
I'm still doing fast food reviews on GrubGrade and also from time to time venturing to local food establishments or fast casual places, on the road stuff, snacks, anything really. I'm still new to all of this and hopefully we find a nice balance of everything. I'm going to try to keep the site updated daily.... I'm just trying to let people know that a part of FFC still exists in a small way.
Grub Grade does carry on the spirit of FFC and adds some new features, to boot. And how can you not love a site whose publisher uses a hockey mask to maintain anonymity in photos?

Yay!
Long live those who are willing to consume the saturated fat other product review bloggers are afraid to.

Thanks for posting this! I'm such a goof for not figuring this out sooner. The link was right under my nose since Feb. :O
As for the hockey mask, I figured it was a nod to it being Friday the 13th. :)

Ryan is a cool dude and his site is great. FFC was one of my favorites and I am glad that he is also adding some local flavor to the site as well. Even though I live miles away, it is cool to see what is going on other places.
