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).

The menu at Gahm Mi Oak, is tiny – they only offer 8 dishes or so – and for good reason, since most patrons only get one dish, sul lung tang. This is a traditional korean soup made from ox tail bones. Sounds kind of gross, I know, but it is so TASTY. And Gahm Mi Oak serves the best in the city. Don't expect any banchan (small Korean dishes, equivalent to bread & butter, which is served at most traditional Korean restaurants) but some of the best kimchi you'll ever have. The service isn't great and there can be a language barrier, but the food speaks for itself. Do yourself a favor and go on cold winter evening – you will be so happy you did.
The kimchi was on the sweet side for me, but still good. When you order the sul lung tang described above, make sure you add the salt and scallions provided at the table to flavor the broth. It is a simple, mild soup, that will really warm you up. I think I prefer spicier soups, but this one was satisfying nevertheless.
