Daymon “Daym Drops” Patterson
Eating Across America: A Foodie’s Guide to Food Trucks, Street Food and the Best Dish in Each State
Having become friends with Daym Drops−after he hilariously, and quite candidly, reviewed my family’s 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 who’s 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
A cool humble talented dude that stay working on the next move #truehustler. —Regg Lester (Big Regg), CBS radio, WZMX Hartford
Met Daym a little bit before the song, “No New Friends” came out. Had I listened to them I would’ve missed out on having a Brotha’ from another mother. Easily one of the most down to earth dudes on the planet. Glad to have him as somebody I consider family. —Reginald Lewis
Daym is like the older, louder (not as good looking) version of myself (though he is from Stratford, we forgive him) “insider.” He is the coolest Big Brotha’ you could ask for. —JT
This man has a heart of gold. Always taking care of others, before himself and he is an amazing father! The world knows him as Daym Drops but I am fortunate enough to call him my Husband! —Ramyr Patterson
Daym is doing the two things I love the most; eating and traveling but the difference between us is that he gets paid to do it. —Jaye Karl
Working with Daym over the years has been a blessing and a great lesson. When you set your goals and put your feet into action, just about everything is possible. He never gave up on me and I do not plan to let him down anytime soon! —Edward Dupass
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. If there’s another person’s taste buds that I would take into battle, it would be Daym’s. —Josh Elkin, Host for Cooking Channel’s Sugar Showdown
