The Cherch Life

This Cherchy carousel is courtesy of several fine food establishments across Los Angeles. I ate all these meals during my usual dalliances of gluttony and excess, engulfing myself in the life of a man blessed to be surrounded by food at every corner. The first two slides are a special order item from @FiveGuys called a "grilled cheese cheeseburger" and I made mine a double, because duh. The third slide is "Spinach Bucatini" from @otiumla, a mouthwatering pasta dish with bacon, egg, clam and parmesan. Popping the yolk and mixing it together made for a surprisingly scrumptious meal. Up next is the bacon, egg, hashbrown and cheese breakfast burrito from @curbgrill. Then nachos from @islandsburgers and my go-to BBQ @thememphisgrill for their brisket, mac and cheese and garlic mashed potatoes. The final slides include a monster burrito, excellent pizza from @joepeepsnoho, a delicious Nashville chicken sandwich from @humblebirdla and a super juicy brisket sandwich from @bearpitrestaurant. Which ones do YOU wanna eat? Don't be shy, tell me your favorites or ask for any tips, I would love for you to try any of these spots. #doublecheeseburger #cheeseburger #burgerlover #burgerlove #burgerlovers #pizzapizzapizza #smokedbrisket #brisketsandwich #bbqbrisket #bucatini #burritos🌯 #burritos (at North Hollywood, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cjl3jqvviba/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🍔🥚SOME THINGS I ATE 🍕🥓 My affinity for eating everything in sight continues with my latest carousel collection of culinary delights. I've been expanding my palate with more veggies sneaked in between bites of crispy bacon and Super Big Gulps of cheeseburger grease. The main example is my @InNOut 4x4 (animal style, no veggies) with tomato slices instead of bread. A true mess of massive ecstasy. I mixed in @kingtaco_official carne asada nachos with double sauces, a @joepeepsnoho pizza slice with nothing but spinach, tomato & mushrooms, two different bacon breakfasts and some amazing @norms country biscuits doused in gravy. I want to eat them all again. Swipe and then tell me which one you're eating! #innout #innoutburger #innoutburgers #doublecheeseburger #doublecheese #cheeseburgers #cheeseburger #tomatos #proteinburger #kingtaco #spinachpizza #baconandeggs #baconandcheese #gravy (at North Hollywood, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CilIZO0Pg8F/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My palate loves it all, from pizza and al pastor to breakfast burritos, spicy chicken nuggies and so much more. Swipe to see ten of my favorite recent meals, from @archiesnoho @tacoselvenado @curbgrill @joepeepsnoho @bwwings and more. Then let me know which ones you wanna eat.

🥓 BREAKFAST FUN 🔥 The homies @archiesnoho mentioned possibly adding a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich to the menu. I never turn down bacon, so I got over there fast to give it a try. It did not disappoint! Served on a fresh, fluffy roll, the bacon was crispy and the egg pillowy soft. The cheese was perfect and thicc, while the ketchup gave it a nice dash of sauciness. This was no junior size sandwich either, it was huge and filling to eat. Swipe to see some more shots of this beauty.

ALL MY LIFE - This is the author photo in my new book "WILL TO WIN." It's taken by my bro @retOne, a man I have enjoyed many victories with. It's in front of my old high school - where I suffered and failed, grew up and excelled. I'm wearing my "All Money In" @themarathonclothing shirt that I bought for $100 because it symbolizes the brilliance of @NipseyHussle. His relentless determination and belief in himself, no matter the adversity before him. His passion for ownership and community growth. All things I aspire to embody. I've been many versions of myself in this life, including several at this school: a dreamer but a dropout, a straight-A student and prolific vandal. A lost kid doing all he could to survive everything he couldn't handle. Today, I'm the most complete version of me ever. Finally stepping into the man I'm capable of being. I would love for you to read my book and learn how I found my will to win. It's available now on Amazon as a 344 page paperback ($35 + $5 shipping) or an E-book ($9.99). Salute to Nipsey for teaching me about being #Proud2pay and to properly value our creations/art. Major shout out to my supplier for all the game and work through the years. I see you. 🫡 Photography and creative direction by @retone. Concept by Big Cherchy. Salute to @danicottii on the vision for the location. #authorphoto #memoirwriting #writtenbywill #thecherchlife #mentalhealthart #allmoneyin #themarathoncontinues #themarathonclothing #themarathon #818valley #nohoartsdistrict #tmc🏁 #tmc #willreyes (at North Hollywood High School) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgkUsxZvV9d/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

💪🏽 BUFF CHICKEN 🐥 I was back at @archiesnoho for a repeat meal of my new favorite sandwich there: The Buff Chicken. It's a hot sub served with sliced buffalo chicken, cheddar cheese, shredded lettuce, pickles, ranch, mustard, and mayo. I love the unique combination of flavors it provides and can't wait to have it again.

🧀 KAYSA-DILLA 🔥 The food gods always bless me with copious amounts of carnivorous delight, and the homies @angelstijuanatacos are among my biggest benefactors. Take this al pastor quesadilla, which looks more like a giant mountain of meat. It's stuffed with fresh chunks of marinated pork, toasted over an open flame. I let the taco man add errthang: both red and green salsas, plus guacamole, onions, cilantro and pineapple chunks. Grabbing a hold of this greasy gift is no easy feat, but it's well worth it. Swipe to see a close up and for some video of this meaty marvel.

Life lately has felt like a relentless barrage of adversity and responsibility mixed with inanity and confusion. At times like these, I turn to the wisdom and calm that can only be found in crispy bacon, massive beef patties and melted cheese. I fed my hunger and the void this exquisite double bacon cheeseburger. Made with flame-grilled 80/20 beef patties covered in mild melted cheddar cheese slices, this beast was served with thick tomato and white onion on an artisan bun. I added mayo and mustard to the toasted bread, then chowed down. Swipe to see inside the burger, including it's gorgeous bacon. #baconlove #baconburger #baconburgers #baconcheese #baconcheeseburger #doublecheese #doublecheeseburger #cheeseburgerday #thecherchlife #homemadeburgers (at North Hollywood, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeSFjiUpf1f/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🪄PIZZA POPPA 🍕 When it comes to the bond I have with pizza it spans any and all incarnations of the multiverse. It doesn't matter which reality or dimension I'm in, if you offer me pizza, I'm all in. Like this beauty from @danielleswoodfiredpizza in the 818. It's an individual sized pepperoni and sausage pie with delicious melted cheese. If the world was ending this pizza might be the comic book superhero I need. Swipe to see more shots of this sexy peekza or check my last Reels post for video.

Finding delicious new food will forever be a favorite delight of mine. @xecoraoficial and their food are a welcome addition to my eating addiction. They recently opened in North Hollywood and I had to try their asada burrito. The tortilla had a golden glow and the beef is flame-grilled just right, but the real star of this show are the pickled onions. Lord have mercy, they were so good. Soaked in juicy flavor, they pack a perfect crisp for each bite. It pairs well with both green sauces, which are tasty af. The habanero is exquisite. I kept going back for spicy dips. Swipe to look inside this beautiful burrito. #xecoragastronomiaurbana #burritos🌯 #burritolove #burritolovers #burritotime #burritobaby #burritolover #carnitaasada #steakburrito #818valley (at NoHo Arts District, Los Angeles) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ccylj9VP5Jo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🔥 SAUSAGE EGG MCMUFFIN 🥚 When it comes to fast food breakfast there is nothing like McDonald's sausage egg Mcmuffin. It's a timeless classic that provides nostalgia and fire flavors. It's also one of the only breakfast items you'll find me eating at breakfast hours (boooo) since Mickey D's doesn't do 24-hour menus. 😏 I like to get two and a hash brown and then go to town on them thangs.

I've spent the last few years embracing trying new things. I'm a tacos, pizza and burgers guy in my soul and I avoided BBQ until fate brough @thememphisgrill to my neighborhood. They enticed me with their friendliness and sealed the deal with their amazing food. The aromas alone amazed and enthralled me, piquing curiosity from corners of my inner carnal carnivore that I never knew existed. I had never experienced the smell of fresh five-cheese Memphis mac, garlic mash and juicy brisket together before. As amazing as that was, the flavors were even better. It's beautiful, it smells good and it tastes amazing. Oh my God, I think I'm falling in love with a three-peace combo. 💙😅🤣🌹Swipe to see more pics of my sexy Valentine. #memphisbbq #beefbrisket #smokedbrisket #bbqbrisket #macandcheeserecipe #macaroniandcheese #garlicmash #garlicmashedpotatoes #thememphisgrill #thecherchlife (at The Memphis Grill) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZz2WhUBZQM/?utm_medium=tumblr

Sometimes your food is so fucking sexy that you go home and serenade it with flattery and a photoshoot like it was the hot Instamodel of the month. Compliments abound, amongst the sound of camera clicks and flashes of light to capture the tantalizing tease, before tossing the tech aside and digging into the carnal prize, yes please. This In N Out was the sloppy animal style mess I love, swipe to bask in all its glory. #innoutburger #animalstyle #animalstyleburger #doublecheese #extracheeseplease #doublecheeseburger #burgertime🍔 (at In-N-Out Burger) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZC-xizvgd9/?utm_medium=tumblr

Sometimes you just need the joy of a 3x3 cheeseburger and fries from In N Out. I always order my burgers animal style (fried mustard patties x grilled onions make me happy) and I make sure to ask for no lettuce, tomato or pickles because I'm an ardent support of the intergalactic rabbit rescue fund. The result is a magical meshing of meat and cheese, with toasty buns, grilled onions and spread to tie it all together. Throw some salt on the fries since society is collapsing and enjoy that thang. I sure did. #innout #doubledouble #doubledoubleanimalstyle #animalstyle #doublecheeseburger #cheeseburgers (at In-N-Out Burger) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYhtVw7vqje/?utm_medium=tumblr

One of my favorite moments of 2021 was discovering the magnificence of "Burger Fries" from @meatme.la. This meal is mesmerizing, mouthwatering and momentous. Large scoops of seasoned fries covered with a combo of melted cheese, beef and grilled onions. Then they toss some pickles on top and add an optional final layer of mustard and ketchup. The flavors are impeccably impactful. Each bite an explosion of savory, juicy and crunchy mouthfuls that you will not forget. I love to make a mess of it all with my fork, fusing the fantastic feast together before fastidiously enjoying every last morsel.

I'd like to introduce y'all to my latest infatuation: the Philly Dawg from @down_to_fry in Burbank, California. They've been open a couple of months and are already buzzing. With good reason, their creativity and attention to detail produce amazing works of food art like this hot dog. The foundation is a thick all-beef hot dog, juicy and full of flavor. It's served on an unsalted pretzel bun and then topped off with diced rib-eye steak, cheese, grilled onions, bell peppers and chipotle sauce. It was so breathtakingly beautiful that I did two photoshoots with it. One at DTF with their bomb lighting and another at home, once I realized how incredibly fucking fire it tasted too. The coalescence of its gorgeous appearance and salivation-inducing flavors made me stop mid-culinary coitus just to snap photos for history.

Some of my more observant IG friends may have noticed that I have a propensity for consuming food. I eat quite often and I love it. Finding new amazing flavors is among my favorite follies of life and now the "TFY Patty Melt" @thefrontyardla has been added to my list of fabulous food. The presentation, service and execution of this meal was top notch. They cook to order (my inner lion salivated at the sight of all that juicy blood) and every piece of food in the photos was delicious. The fries, ranch, cheese, bread, beef and sauce were crackin' af, and any spot that has a menu that says they serve something "ERRYDAY" (swipe to last slide) is always good in my book. #pattymelt #sandwichporn #sandwichlovers #sandwichlove #thefrontyard (at The Front Yard) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXE72Z9PoBl/?utm_medium=tumblr
