Economists frequently make a simplifying assumption about the market called "complete information," which is that consumers are fully aware of all their different choices in the market.

The fact that Subway is still in business when places like Banh Mi Saigon exist, is the best proof I know of that "complete information" is complete bunk. Banh Mi Saigon has such fantastic, amazingly cheap sandwiches -- I got the basic sandwich (same name as the restaurant) for $3.75: a foot-long, lightly toasted roll packed with shredded carrots, cucumber, pate, hot sauce, and some deliciously tangy, crusty barbecued pork. Such a perfect combination of tastes and textures.

Oh, I should mention that I use the word "restaurant" loosely. This place is a counter in a jewelry store. There are no tables, only some benches against the wall.

I should also mention that I asked for mine "medium" spicy and it made my eyes tear up. The sensitive-tounged should maybe start with mild and work up from there.

Forget public opinion

And get your New York restaurant/nightlife suggestions from The Confoodant: reviews from the taste-buds you trust. The only way to become a confoodant is to be invited by one. Real reviews. Really reliable.

About me:

When it comes to choosing a restaurant, I always want a second opinion, so Yelp used to be a perfect solution (even though I never thought I would post my own reviews). Although their ranking system seemed overly manipulated, Yelp was a convenient source for restaurant info, so I constantly referenced it. But when highly rated restaurants on the site began to fall flat, I was inclined to set the record straight. Over 50 yelp reviews later, I had had enough and decided to create The Confoodant, a place where a network of trusted food enthusiasts could grow and post their opinions.

Is it just a blog?

Confoodant.com is still in development, but the network of confoodants has already begun to grow and are invited to post their reviews on The Confoodant blog until the real website is up and running. The blog doesn't provide the features that the full site will, but just think of it as a temporary home to start sharing restaurant tips with people you trust (and who trust you).
