YELP.
iloveyelp. One, because I love food. While Yelp is not just a food/restaurant review site, but the bulk of it is. I now extensively Yelp restaurants before I go. Part of the research. Usually it works out, I see pictures and see what looks good, but there has been times where the food didn't live up to the hype. But either way, I do my research before heading out. And at the very least (because of my new spiffy smart-phone), I look at pictures while at the restaurant to get a better idea of what to order.
I also enjoy writing reviews of places I've been to. I don't write reviews for every restaurant, only the ones I think are worth mentioning (either positive or negative). If I don't think I have much input, I'll skip the review. And what's cool is that the business usually has an account too, and might correspond with you! I wrote a nice review for a restaurant once, and the manager messaged me and thanked me!
Recently, I have been going Yelp-crazy. I look at the same food pictures over and over again. I check in a every restaurant I go to (when I remember..). I'm a "regular" at 24 Hour Fitness and Half &Half. My goal is to become Yelp Elite. And get invited to uber cool private parties!! Before I achieve such status, I suppose I could just continue to look at yummy pictures. Despite my goal of eliteness, I hope not to become a Yelp whore. But maybe it's already too late.. :)
