While user review-centric sites can often help you decide on something to eat on any given night, sometimes it helps to consult a professional. Unless you happen to catch a local featurette on Food Network or follow applicable Chefs on Twitter, it’s tough to really find out what said professionals think. Naturally, I gave Chefs Feed a spin.
In short, Chefs Feed is a free app that basically functions as both Yelp and Twitter in one, featuring top chefs across the country (like Mario Batali) and in your local area. If you happen to lineup with any given Chef’s picks, you can “follow” them just like Twitter and grab timely updates, as well as the status on their restaurants. You can also link up with others by way of the social feature, so it’s not just limited to what Chef’s opinions.
The focus on professionals serves two purposes. One, it pares down the insurmountable reviews down to a few opinions at a time, which helps ease the feeling of reading 100 reviews and going back and forth between going or staying home. Two, it highlights the top shelf locations, so it’s easier to find something high quality if you want to have a special date night.
