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).

I was excited to try out this new-ish EV establishment when I heard that their bacon peanut brittle was out of this world (as with most things that involve bacon). But at $5 for a teacup serving, they weren't that amazing and wayyy too salty. I was drinking a cocktail and should have definitely had a beer to accompany the brittle. The fried chicken was well done, but needed more crunch and spice. And the corn bread that came with the meal was mediocre – I could make the same thing from a jiffy box.
It was a cold evening and my acquaintance thought that duck/gumbo would warm him up. Weirdly enough, the gumbo wasn't very hot – temperature or spicy. But the sausage was divine.
I then realized that we probably should have stuck to the 'bar' type foods on the menu – sausage & pretzel, homemade waffle fries, the redhead burger – since this establishment started off as a bar and just recently started offering food. Redhead is a very inviting – the décor is dark with candles and red accents of course. Crowd is professional, lively and mostly 30+. Good place for a date or a couple of friends for drinks and bar food. Next time, I'm definitely going to have the sausage & pretzel to go with one of their many beers on tap.
