Looking For A Great Place to Eat?

Hey everybody.  I wanted to share a cool website I found with you.  You know how much of a foodie I am, so while I was looking around on the Net, I found an interesting website that lets you post video reviews!  I’ve never seen anything out there like it, and I’ve shuffled through a lot of food-focused websites.  I loved the idea, because it lets you actually see people talking about the food.  That makes a huge difference.  I mean, we’ve gotten used to written reviews and they’re fine, but a video review really lets you get the whole experience.  You’ll see real people talk about food that moved them in some way – good or bad.  I know sometimes I make faces that are hard to really translate into words.  With this video option, people can make those faces and the message isn’t lost.  Their tone, their facial expressions, and their body language all come together to let you really know how they felt about the food.  Cool, right?

The website is AmericanEateries.com.  You can search for reviews on this website, but they also do lots of other neat things too. You can chat with other people who use the site and discuss a particular restaurant in more depth.  You can also post coupons for people to use and share recipes.  They give you a private mailbox on the site so that you can have a one-on-one conversation with someone you meet.  When you sign up for a free account on the site, you can post a picture too, so your whole foodie search can turn into something else entirely.  Think about it – a cute guy writing about the same type of food that you like - it’s the perfect icebreaker!

AmericanEateries.com also advertises daily specials and they give a way a $50 gift card every single week if you write a review that really shines.  It can be funny, from a different point of view, creative – whatever.  They’ll give you $50 if it stands out from the rest of the reviews they get that week. 

Check out what they have to offer.  It’s definitely worth a visit!
