Pink's Hngry.com
I like the URL : Hngry.com ("Can't decide where to eat? hngry picks from your favorite restaurants for you.") - The problems hngry will face are inherent in user generated content at a local level, esp when consumers, as opposed to creators, think they are going to get packaged serendipity for their next date. Frank Gruber has some practical experience on this and tips : "The site asks you to sign-in and pull together your favorite menus from local restaurants and enter them into hngry. The site then asks you questions as to what type of food you would like to eat and then spits out dining suggestions... In my experiences with TeamSportsBars.com I have found that it can be difficult to get users to sign up and contribute. I could see hngry encountering the same hurdle. For example, I just search my condo for a local restaurant menu to enter in the information and it is currently the only restaurant that is available to suggest so it will take some time to build up the data."

Cool. Part of the point of hngry is to have personally relevant results everytime you use it (i.e. only restaurants that are on your list, and therefore are places where you'd like to eat.)
I'm realizing that some people don't have the time to enter their restaurants, or just don't want to, and so I'm working furiously to make hngry integrate with an API and pull a restaurant listing automatically... you'll still have to put your personal preferences like how much you want to spend and what food type you personally would classify it as, but other than that, hngry will automatically do the rest for you. It's coming!
