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).

Lead Chef and owner, Todd English focuses on dishes that are as delicious as they are aesthetically beautiful. Though the menu is expansive, let's review some of the dishes chosen for restaurant week.
The Prix Fixe menu is incredible. For starters, the shaved brussels sprouts salad sits on top of a square chestnut polenta and is one of the most original takes on a 'salad' in the 5 boroughs. The cured duck proscuitto is also unique. For an entree, veal short ribs with honey glazed carrots is 'fall off the bone' good and surprisingly light. The pan roasted salmon is pretty basic, but the chorizo basmati with raisins makes an otherwise plain dish satisfying. For dessert, the apple semifreddo is English's take on the American staple apple pie A La Mode. English serves a small rectangle bar of vanilla a top a thin cinnamon crust, on top of the bar is a puree of apple pie filling, and by the bar's side are pie chips. This dessert is refreshing and a small nod to English's dominance over taste.
If you can get past the overly trendiness of 'W' hotels and a more than questionable soundtrack, you won't be disappointed.
