It's like craigslist for food. Or, more specifically, restaurant recommendations. Planning a trip and want to find the best local eats? You'd be doing yourself a disservice if you didn't check out Chowhound's message boards. They've got most of the US covered, as long as you live in SF, LA, or New York. The rest of the country is a little more hit-or-miss. Still, if you're heading for Hawaii or stopping over in St. Louis, the site is still worth a look. You can find the best Thai food in Boston or good gumbo in Chicago. Other topics include kosher foods, international options, and the always entertaining not-about-food category.
