Red O, Los Angeles

No photos, sorry kevineats always does great pics of the food.  I'm a huge fan of Rick Bayless.  I've been fortunate enough to eat at Xoco and now Red O.   You can see the menu online.

Food:  Overall Good.  Chips from the apps could have been cooked to order.  I would fore go desserts and instead order the Goat Cheese Tamales and Plantain Sopes.

Highlights: Halibut Ceviche, Duck Taquitos, Goat Cheese Tamales, Plantain Sopes, Pork Belly Sopes

Drinks:  The signature drinks could use some work.  They took the tamarind drink off the menu which I was looking forward to.  Highlight: Market Margarita but it's more of an Aqua Fresca than a Margarita.

Atmosphere:  Think Island Resort.  The decor was a blend of Bali and Baja.  Music wasn't too loud and it wasn't hard to hold a conversation..

Service:  Not bad.

Overall:  I thought it was nice and worth trying.  It was a little expensive for what you get. 

What I didn't like: Keep in mind that it's a new hot restaurant so these gripes are a 'wish list'.  Not designed for larger parties, they wouldn't adjust dishes to server 6 when most things were designed for 4.  Corkage was expensive and only allowed to open 2 bottles regardless of how many are at a table.

Return:  I won't be heading back immediately for dinner, but I could see myself going to check out the bar and grab a few snacks before an Improv show.

A new day

I was reading another blog today and realized that I stopped creating content for my own sites.   Why did I stop?  Mostly because I got tired of maintaining 2 sites.  Now I'm stuck with the challenge of how do I keep them going without duplicating effort on the 2 sites: happysloth (my personal site) and wt4f (our site).

I've decided to scrap them both and start something new.  Now willtravel4food.com is my work in progress.  I don't want to set a deadline because I have no clue how I plan to design it or when I can finish it. 

Initial Idea:  I will make wt4f the primary and happysloth will be a subset of content; actually it may be more like an venn diagram where there is overlapping content.  To be honest, I haven't thought it through that far.  Currently happysloth.com and willtravel4food.com will share the same content.  Why not?  I am the only voice for both blogs.
