Idea #3 - A blog of about ethnic restaurants around LA. Not traditional reviews, but rather a collection of good places and what to order if you go there. To be based on conversations with the cook or wait staff and a survey of what dishes the regular customers have on their tables.
This isn't a new idea. A group of business school classmates and I had tried to build a business idea around this notion a few years back. It would have been a company that did dinner tours at hole-in-the-walls, and it would have been great, if any of us had had the personality to sustain something like that.
The challenge of doing a blog like this is that Eric and I live on the Westside, where there aren't that many great ethnic restaurants, especially not Chinese ones. Not a convenient jumping-off point.

Ideas for a new blog
This blog is down to just a handful of readers... and I thank those who have cared enough to stick with it. You know who you are.
But since I am not blessed with a coterie of friends and relatives who will comment on my every post, and prop up my confidence in the interestingness of my own random thoughts, I'm afraid this blogger has run out of steam. At least with this blog, which is about nothing.
The next few posts, before the final goodbye, will be dedicated to ideas for a new, more purposeful blog. One that even people I don't know may stumble upon and find interesting.
Idea #1 - A blog about traditional Chinese cooking. It's not that it hasn't been done before, or isn't being done by someone else right now, but it hasn't been done by me yet, which is the point of a blog.
Idea # 2 - A blog about learning how to run a small business, or a second-generation business in particular. Like the daily frustrations or small victories, and the struggle to not let it consume your whole life.
