rnr Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 I've just finished a new website called FamousFood.us and figured folks over here might be interested. Its designed to help you find the nearest restaurants that have been featured on TV and Restaurant guides. It currently includes the following sources Best Thing I Ever Ate Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives Man V Food Throwdown with Bobby Flay The Michelin Guide Head over to http://www.famousfood.us/ to try it out. It has been designed for use in both PC and Mobile Phones (IPhone, Android). All comments and suggestions are welcome.
Z3 Stalker Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 It's kind of neat, on one of the icons the nearest location to me was 1300+ miles away LOL!!!
Ian7 Posted September 24, 2010 Posted September 24, 2010 It just told me I'm 315 miles from a cool diner in south Jersey... as if, more like 615 :-)
solder_guy Posted September 24, 2010 Posted September 24, 2010 nice concept .. databases are limited .. for a city the size of Atlanta, GA
rnr Posted September 24, 2010 Author Posted September 24, 2010 I can't get it to update location? Do you get a popup saying that location is unavailable or does it not accept the location you type in? The auto-location feature is not available on Safari or IE and does occasionally have issues in FireFox as well. It's kind of neat, on one of the icons the nearest location to me was 1300+ miles away LOL!!! I should have mentioned that this one is US only. :-) Thanks for letting me know - I'll add a note explaining it to the front page It just told me I'm 315 miles from a cool diner in south Jersey... as if, more like 615 :-) Its measuring distance as the crow flies so things like lakes and borders will change the actual values. Damn geography nice concept .. databases are limited .. for a city the size of Atlanta, GA Unfortunately since I only show the restaurants that have been on the shows I am limited as to the options. The DB currently has 1044 restaurants all over the country with NYC and SF being the two densest populations.
snookwheel Posted September 24, 2010 Posted September 24, 2010 Tried it again this morning and it worked fine! In fact, I found a new restaurant to try on Indian Rocks Beach! Very cool. Thanks, Scott
