Find Your Favorite Plate with Primo Dish

Though we’ve all used Yelp, it’s more or less become a wasteland of irrelevant stories, emotionally embittered (or elated) ratings, and an alarming lack of helpful advice about a restaurant’s menu. Austin’s own Primodish.com has yet to fall into any of these (deep) pitfalls, and offers a more specific way to talk about food online.

Using Tweet-style posts (+ a bonus 40=180 characters) the user reviews single dishes from eateries local and elsewhere and assigns a number rating. It has all the perks you’d come to expect from these sorts of sites and maybe one or two more. Signing in gives you the ability to make friends, recommend dishes specifically, and bookmark plates that sound particularly palatable. Doesn’t link to your Facebook or Twitter if sharing is your thing, but it’s still young, having only gone live a few weeks ago.

There's not a lot of action at the moment, so if you and your dining crew decide to make it yours, you more or less have free reign for a while. The mobile app set to be released by the end of May for the ambidextrous who want to taste and type simultaneously.
