A revolt against your tastebuds (the introduction)

This project will develop over time, but for the record, in this introduction, I want to reveal everything it was supposed to be. And I don't pretend to be pessimistic, but realistically, this is a project I want to see evolve until it perishes. And I'm writing this with the intention of having fun in the process. With that being said, this idea, which is still just a seed waiting for the heat of the sun to grow up into something beautiful, is focused on my two passions in life: Food and Photography. Both of these, for me, are forms of art, and my inclination toward art is not the kind that follows trends, but the one that expresses a unique aspect of life, something rare and difficult to achieve. 

How many of you readers dislike Martinis? I used to despise them before, but now I’ve found the best way to negotiate with my taste buds, and indulge myself in the pleasure of straight liquor  with a long splash of olive juice. Everything started with the New Yorker's Happy Meal: Martinis and fries. After seeing martinis and fries constantly on my feed, I started thinking they don't look so bad after all, so I tried out. My first Martini was a straight-up Hendrix Martini, stirred with buffalo chicken sliders and a side of fries. And I gotta say the savory flavor just hit the perfect spot with the gin. 

Since then, I’ve been experimenting with different food pairings and different liquors until I found something that can revolutionize everyone's tastebuds. I have to mention that opening your mind to new things, even if it is something small, can change your whole environment. Maybe you go out to different places, get into different hobbies, meet different people, maybe you’ll meet your other half. For me, it will be the first chapter or series of this blog. So it happened on a random night; I went out with some friends to a random divebar, and one of my friends was drinking a tequila Lalo’s dirty martini. And as I mentioned before, it wouldn't have opened my mind to martinis; I would never have even thought about tasting something like it.

So my own artistic response to the New Yorkers happy meal is the Texans, or Houstonians Happy Meal: (Sorry, I’m still working on the branding) it's “Tacos and repo dirty martinis”. So in the following blogs, I will go out there experimenting with different bars, tacos, and tequilas to put over this exquisite, which is just still a hidden gem to become a trendy idea.
