Chowhound, most excellent food forums.

Came across this forum for food related stuff, Chouhound. Lots of really great stuff, recipes and more, covering everything you can imagine about food or eating. I particularly like the discussions of great places to eat. I live in Culver City, part of LA, and was really surprised to see how many of the recommended restaurants were right in my neighborhood. Got a lot of good tips which I'll have to check out. I never would have imagined that one of the supposedly best Mexican restaurants is inside this bowling alley that I go by all the time. But live and learn.

That's one thing about the web that never stops amazing me. You go to a site, one that covers the entire world like this one does, and you find a tip about a restaurant two blocks from your home. Such a big world, such a little one. Very weird. Of course, I guess it helps if you live in one of the world's major cities, but still.
