" summary

A visual local guide that helps people find dishes instead of restaurants using photographed sightings, timestamps, votes and a limited reputation points system to surface the best pictures and places. Alpha is live with an iPhone app ready for testers, a plan for an open API and Twitter/Foursquare integration, and a paid option for restaurants to post specials. Crowdsourced flagging and voting drive freshness; product is early stage but usable.
