Thanks to the Foodie Blogroll program, I have discovered a new website, Smorgie.com. This site is designed to help the users to keep track of the restaurants they have eaten in or wish to try to visit soon, send recommendations to friends, and keep lists of restaurants for different occasions or destinations.
For me, personally, Smorgie.com could have arrived at a better time. For several years now, in addition to my blog, I have been keeping a reference website, 5starfoodie.com, that kept track of all the Forbes Travel Guide 5-Star rated restaurants. However, I have had a lot of trouble with the database, which got infected with viruses multiple times. The last time it happened was just in November, and my database was completely deleted, so I've been looking for an alternate way of keeping track of my 5-Star restaurants.
Smorgie.com turned out to be just the tool I was looking for. I created a list called Forbes Travel Guide 5-Star Restaurants where so far I entered the fifteen of the restaurants I ate in. On each restaurant page, it shows the information for the restaurant such as the address, websites (which I actually filled it myself), any notes (where I put a link to my reviews), yelp reviews, a map, etc. There is also a way to upload your pictures for that particular restaurant. I really liked that for the list, there is an automatic map that's generated of all the restaurant locations on the list, which was a feature that I had on my reference site but there I had to map each restaurant location manually myself. My next step is to either make a list on my 5starfoodie.com site of all the restaurants with links to each individual page, or share a whole list all at once. I also like that I can share either your individual restaurants or lists on facebook, twitter, pininterest, or email.
Smorgie.com is still brand new and I expect further improvements to make the site even more user friendly. Some improvements that I would like to see implemented is user ratings of the restaurants and date visited. Also, useful would be the ability to sort the restaurants within a list by different parameters such as location, date visited, ratings, popularity, etc.
I definitely recommend Smorgie.com for my readers who eat out a lot, it is a useful tool that will make it easier to keep track of all your delicious restaurant meals.
