You may have chosen the restaurant based on a trip advisor or
yelp recommendation.
But for up to the minute useful recommendations, point your
phone's camera at the menu and run the Menu Advisor, which
will show you curated (from social media and direct in-app
interaction) recommendations,
thumbs up, and comments
about
the specific dishes you are looking to order.

This is a great idea, but it would need a lot of input from
consumers. |
|
|
I only believe recommendations from friends. Everything
else can be generated by bots that imitate non-existent
people. |

Impossible. Everyone here knows you haven't got any friends. |

Shhh, you'll put [IT] into an infinite loop again. |

rainbow but some really delicious food. |

Which raises an issue I've always wondered about
(independently of considering [IT]). There is definitely a
large percentage of people - mostly over the age of 50
but not exclusively so - who just don't get food. What I
mean is, they don't seem to get any enjoyment, surprise,
or laughter out of flavours. Their highest form of praise
is "that was nice and tender" - even if it was a piece of
boiled chicken that tastes like damp blotting paper. It's
as if they have no sense of taste, or have somehow
learned that it's rude to pay attention to flavours. But
flavours are so unavoidable that I don't see how they can
be like that. It's genuinely strange. |

Curry. That's the stuff. You can't ignore a good curry. |
|
|
You can tell it's good if your earwax melts and dribbles down the sides of your head. Blurred vision, difficulty breathing, and short-term memory loss are encouraging signs that it is a "good" curry. Muscle tremor and nosebleeds mean it's the genuine article. |
|
|
Curry. You know you want it. |
|
|
If you don't like that chicken, [MB], I'll have it for lunch tomorrow. |
|
|
I like this. I think it tasted great. Good one, comrade. |

//Curry. You know you want it.// Come back Dr. Curry. The
halfbakery needs you. |

I knew there was something wrong with the official story that the
Russians were responsible... |

Who's been adulterating the methanol with capsaicin again? |

This would be great for the restaurant as well. If they're serving excellent food but the cake is always just a little dry this will point them to that area that needs improvement. |

... lime, yes, butter, coriander, yes, but also ginger, garlic, fresh
chilli in moderation ... |
|
|
Nicely chilled beer may also help. |
