Tacos in Tucson

So I used to call this blog "If I Ruled the World." It was a place for me to rant, more or less, and try to bring some interesting stuff to light. Then I started looking for a new job, and I figured I had better make my blog "private" so that I would not have any potential employers thinking I was a nut for something I wrote about Tom Morello.

It's not hard to predict what happened next. I completely lost interest. Less readership, and with a move to Tucson, I had much less to write about anyways.

So I have decided to compromise. I deleted all my old posts. And I turned the privacy settings back to normal. But this is not going to be a rant blog. I'm going to write about restaurants in Tucson. I'm no foodie, not in the Anthony Bourdain sense. But I do my fair share of eating out. And within my own non-foodie circle, I tend to be a bit more up on restaurants than my friends.

The goal of my blog is going to be to fill a niche. The restaurant reviews in the weekly paper are completely worthless. And the daily paper does okay, writing-wise, but for the life of me I cannot figure out how they choose their spots. I'm hoping to write some reviews that give the general sense of food joints you actually want to go to (or in some memorable cases, STOP going to) without all the blah-blah-blah of the "professional" critics.

And with that I introduce to you: "Tacos in Tucson."
