Speaking from personal experience, when I'm hungry, things can become pretty heated, but with these apps for foodies the stress of an empty stomach will reduce significantly.
The myfab5 app for example lets users find the best restaurant nearest you. This is done based on a ranking system in various categories submitted by other users. Oftentimes a critic's food review is not always accurate, and reflects only one person's preferences. This crowdsourcing approach, however, solves this problem by giving the people a voice. Another speedy option is the Square Pickup app based in San Francisco. Those local restaurants associated with the app will receive orders solely through the app itself, instead of through timely phone calls. These apps for foodies are just the beginning of the delicious possibilities for finding better food, faster.
