foodha for thought – menuism blog

We like to keep a close eye on restaurant trends here at Menuism. To celebrate the arrival of summer, we got our favorite carry-out and dug through our favorites lists to re-visit what was being predicted for this year in restaurant trends. Is 2008 going according to plan?

Bloggers as Restaurant Consumer Advocates? You don’t need to tell us twice. Like Foodie NYC, we love reading our favorite bloggers. We’re happy to play host to those who want to share their opinion with a built-in audience.

Menuism’ll hook you up with a restaurant’s phone number and website, but we’ll even do one better: use Menuism to access OpenTable, where you can make online reservations with no fuss, and as well as online ordering sites so you can get General Tso’s Chicken at your doorstep within an hour.

Only 48%? A restaurant’s web site speaks volumes about a place – and, well, it will tell you the single most important thing: what they’re serving. You can access a restaurant’s website on its Menuism profile.

From Swirlz (Chicago) to Magnolia Bakery (NYC) this is a trend we can really get behind. And frost. And devour.
