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).

Walking up to Frankies will bring a smile to your face. The front window was steamed over and glowing, suggesting a warm, cozy interior filled to the brim with Lower East Siders engaged happily in conversation. And upon entering, that's exactly what you get. Truly a wonderful spot for a date!
The wine selection is fabulous and the pasta dishes, served piping hot, are truly satisfying and perfectly cooked. For a hearty savory porridge, the sweet sausage with roasted red peppers over polenta offers mouthfuls of flavor, but opt for the papardelle with short rib ragu if you prefer a dish with more contrasting textures.
Definitely don't overlook their signature desert of hot prunes in red wine over cool mascarpone; it is truly unique, simple, and delicious.
And, just to add to the whole experience, the staff couldn't be kinder!
