March is here and the seasons are a-changin’! A new month means a new Food Fight, and this month we’re asking YOU to help us find the BEST BURGER in your city!
To participate, just review a restaurant and rate the burger you ate. You’ll be automatically entered into the contest to win $50 - you can find out all the nitty-gritty details at the main Food Fight contest page.
Fun fact: the average American consumes 27.8 pounds of hamburger a year. That works out to over 9 quarter-pound burgers a month, per person. Why not share your favorites, so everyone can enjoy a better burger?
Happy Eating!
John & Justin
p.s. We’re still tallying the best pancake results from February, and we’ll post the results soon.

Yes, the day we’ve been waiting for all month is finally upon us! This week is National Pancake Week, and specifically, today is National Pancake Day, which you might know better as Shrove Tuesday, or Mardi Gras. 
To celebrate this wondrous day of fluffly, griddle-cooked batter, IHOP is giving away one free shortstack of pancakes today. More details here, and here are some quick links to find them in the following areas:
What better way to celebrate National Pancake Week and participate in the ongoing Food Fight than by enjoying some free flapjacks? If plain buttermilk pancakes aren’t your thing, you can try lots of other specialty pancakes that users have already found. There are still lots of pancakes to eat (and reviews to write) for this Food Fight - get crackin’!

We announced a few weeks ago that we’ll be giving out a Menuism T-Shirt to one of Foodha’s Picks for December and we’re happy to announce that the winner is mirabell_19 for the review of Gochi Japanese Tapas! Foodha’s Picks randomly highlights one of the top tipped reviews over the last 30 days on the front page. mirabell_19’s review is a great example of one with plenty of descriptive food reviews and a clever title :). Great job and keep it up!
Keep an eye out for other contests we’ll be running in the near future. Let us know if you have any ideas.
Happy Eating in the New Year!

Quick Reminder: Write reviews to enter the end of month t-shirt drawing!
At the end of the month, we’ll be giving away a free Menuism t-shirt to one of Foodha’s Picks. If you haven’t noticed yet, Foodha randomly picks a top tipped review over the past 30 days to display on the front page (since he likes food so much, the review has to include a review of the food). On January 1st, we’ll load up the front page of Menuism and see who the random winner is (excluding John and Justin of course - we already have shirts :P).
Right now, the users that look to be in the running are:
If you don’t want to write reviews but you want a t-shirt, then buy one at the Menuism Shop. We also have dark gray hoodies now too, but they aren’t up on the page yet. Send us an email if you want one of those.
Some tips on getting tipped:
- After you write a review, click on the “Share” link on the review confirmation page to send it to your friends or the people you dined with. Tell them to join to tip you!
- Invite your friends to join the site so they can keep track of all your recent reviews.
- Good reviews don’t just mean reviews with high ratings. Make sure your review is useful, helpful, and/or entertaining.
If you enjoy the review, give it a tip! ‘Tis the season for giving afterall 
Happy Eating,
Justin
