Where to eat?

By way of the Statesman’s “Food Matters” column, I’ve learned of a new website that sounds kind of interesting: Let’s Eat ATX!

It seems like a simple, but good, idea. From the Statesman‘s description:

The website asks users whether they’ve eaten at a handful of local restaurants and whether they liked the restaurant or are interested in trying it. Then, users can submit other restaurants or cuisines they enjoy or any other details about what they are looking for, and Giller and her team of foodies “think about it with our human brain” and send a recommendation using all the information they’ve gathered.

I’d be willing to give this a try, but there’s one huge problem that makes the site totally useless for me: it requires you to sign in using Facebook. Since I refuse (for personal reasons) to set up a Facebook account, I can’t try it and give you a report. I would welcome comments from people who have tried it. And if anyone with Let’s Eat ATX is reading this: is the Facebook login requirement just a temporary thing? Have you considered other possibilities, like Google+? Or even just a normal login, not tied to any “social media” service?

Update: Site appears to be 404 as of June 2015. – LP]
