Urban Spoon

I recently decided to put my wingy, complaining nature to some use and start reviewing restaurants online. I hope people can benefit from this by avoiding the nasties and enjoying the same good food that, as my waistline will testify, I have too. It started with an iPhone app from Urbanspoon that finds the closest restaurant of my choosing at any given time (so long as I'm in London). The app is really quite well thought out and allows you to add photos of your food and menus for everyone else to see. It's also possible to review restaurants, which started harmlessly enough. I've since become quite addicted and tried to think of every place I have ever eaten in London outside of my own (or a friend's) house. I was even tempted to review a friend's cooking, but thought better of it as I may never be invited to return. Thus far I have managed to find things to say about every single retaurant, pub, bar and cafe in which I've ever consumed food. Today I checked the London Leaderboard of the users that have reviewed the most venues. I am third, and very proud. I will, however, not upload a photo of myself in case I'm recognised by a waiter, or worse: the chef.
