Addict #1: Mr.Crabclaws

Once living on a diet consisting only of meat, Mr.Crabclaws has since learned the joys of chowing a side salad or the occasional accompanying green vegetables since coming to China. Heaven for Mr.Crabclaws would be an african safari feast consisting of every game meat imaginable under the sun. As a result of this self-inflicted addiction to anything meat, Mr.Crabclaws has become quite the protein connoisseur with a superhero skill of distinguishing between different cuts of meat and their various regions. If you have any meat questions, Crabclaws is the one to ask.
Specialty: Any foods classified under "Meat or Protein" (except pork and tofu of course)
 
 
 

Addict #2: Dewars-Dribble/Patek

Welcome Dewars-Dribble/Patek, our japanese specialist and reviewer of all related eatings of this category. Hailing from Hong Kong, DD's never-ending search for fresh sashimi has taken him to all reaches of the globe.; all in the name of toro/tuna (his favorite) tasting. DD's superhero ability is undoubtedly his inhuman aptitude at describing the explicit differences between the first bite of sashimi from the second one you just swallowed. Trust the foodie team when we say this, if there is such a sickness called sushi-obia, DD's the spokesperson for the disease.
Specialty: Japanese - Sushi, Sashimi, Sake, Sushi, Shashimi, Sake, Sushi, Sashimi, Sake
 
 
  
Addict #3: Poppin-Voodoo

Known to many as Gregbee, Voodoo's numerous business meeting and lunch breaks consistently forces this reviewer to try all the newest hippest restaurants of the capital. Constantly boycotting clubs that aren't cool enough for him, Voodoo is known for purchasing numerous whisky bottles on nights where only "one can of coke" was suppose to be consumed. The difference however, is where us regular civilians would be happy with consuming street greul to satisfy the irrational drunk hunger - The intoxicated Voodoo will be found at the closest 5* gastronomy 24-hour restaurant ordering Hainan chicken rice & Beijing kaoya with a helping of delicately steamed hand-wrapped dimsum on the side.
Specialty: Sirloin Steak, Flank Steak, Brisket Steak, Skirt Steak, Flank Steak, Eye of Round Steak
 
 
 Addict #4: Scroodles-doo

At first glance, Scroodles would seem to be a girl with a small appetite and even smaller desire for food. But be warned, Scroodles left the foodie team flabbergasted by her borderline obsessive-compulsive passion for the GOOD OL’ MEAT FIX. This girl’s ability to consume meat is astonishing and will leave most people wondering where all the consumed protein goes to. Full-time fashionista & Full-time foodie addict, forget the girls who order side salads & H20, Scroodles can out-eat any male/guys/gentleman/football team out there.
Specialty: Any foods classified under "Meat or Protein" (the girl version)
 
 
 Addict #5: Xi2

Xi2 has been through the whole dieting works and is a self-confessed fatty. Her superhuman inability to cook has resulted in Xi2 eating out three times a day, seven days a week - which adds up to many hours of foodie experience more than the average Joe. From street food to 5****Hotel restaurants, Xi2 has tried it all if not most. Amongst her friends, she is the only one known to date that has sucessfully blown up the microwave while cooking a microwave-ready meal that was accompanied by detailed cooking instructions.
Yes, it is mutually and silently agreed on by everybody who knows her - that this world is a much safer place if Xi2 just sticks to eating out in restaurants instead.
Specialty: Healthy Fare - Greens, Salads, Veggies and Seeaaafooodddd
