While I won't be experiencing the full value of this site until I visit Chicago or San Francisco next, I thought the idea was ingenious. Foodiebytes allows you to search for restaurants within a metropolitan area by naming the ingredient or dish that you are craving. With one click, I was able to find an authentic Italian restaurant serving the wild boar pappardelle I’ve been longing for since getting back to the states.
While it certainly isn't going to replace
Yelp any time soon, the ability to browse a menu and hunt by food item is a great addition to any foodie's arsenal. Plus, they are supposed to open up to other metropolitan areas in the near future, and add a mobile version.

Finally, a resource for someone who doesn't want to sift through the endless sea of "foodie" blogs.
Thanks for posting this!

Marta, thanks for the post. I am at foodiebytes. We are planning to publish a list of interesting search items we are seeing. "brain masala", "animal style" and of course "wild boar pappardelle" will be on the list.
