A Best-of page highlighting quality threads that have disappeared into the archives. I can think of the biographies that chefs offered as one I would be interested in digging up and dusting off.
It might also be a good idea to replicate the functionality of “pinned threads”. Good examples would be: Where did you eat today? What’s going on in the local food press?
I maintain a personal database of locations. Restaurants, mostly. Other locations to help me orient myself while looking for restaurants. It's grown quite large. It includes most of the Beard Award nominees for the last three years for instance. Plus hundreds of other restaurants from magazine awards and random things I hear. If, for instance, you were interested in a list all the BBQ restaurants that I'm interested in, you would browse this map.These aren't recommendations. I've visited a small fraction of these restaurants. This is a list of places that I'd like to visit. I try to only add items based on reputable recommendations. But when I'm a little lightheaded, sometimes stuff slips in. Don't foodblog when you're hungry.Click here to go to Tagzania and browse my list.
