Tonight i was walking through Dupont Circle to meet up with folks at Brickskellers for Copynight DC and tasty beers. On my way there I was passing all these restaurants that I had never been to. I realized how much I go to the same place over and over and over again.
There should be a site where my friends and I can easily say what restaurants we go to and then tell each other which ones we’ve tried. That’s Yelp right?
But I want more… I want something that helps me to discover new restaurants. We need an equivalent of what Pandora does for music but for eating and restaurants.

It’s a great foodie blog written by DC-ite and social media maven Stephanie Nagy. You may have met her at SMC @ BB.
For the Last month or so i have been subscribed to Gridskipper’s DC feed and have found 2 great new restaurants through that…

I think “Pandora for Food” would deliver dozens of bite-sized samples everyday.
I like it.
Sounds like a project for a Startup Weekend….
Hi Justin. Give Urbanspoon a try. It’s exactly what you’re looking for:

Justin, thanks for coming to CopyNight.
I was just about to write about the difficulties setting up a restaurant Pandora, but then a lightning bolt hit me and I realized how to make it workable and fun.
If you ever want to discuss this, let me know. I’d love to work on it.
@Joseph: Let’s talk about it at StartupWeekend. Maybe we can pitch the idea.
Dude,
Buy a Zagats.
