    Enter your zip code and a search term, and it uses Yahoo! Local to fill in a Wheel of Fortune-like spinner. Kind of silly. I found better results using "restaurant" than the default "food".

    For my zip code, 5 places no longer exist and 5 are national fast food outlets that everyone has. We have way more places to eat than listed so I would question the source.

    I entered my zip code and the food preference "Mexican." Were I to follow the directives of this device, I'd be having lunch at Chipotle.

    HI,

    For 60035, it stopped at Las Palmas, which is a tame version of Mexican.

    For my area, some of the choices were pretty good, but it told me to go Dominick's :( I think I will keep spinning until La Unica comes up.

    Hmm... Marvin's Restaurant

    901 S Cicero Ave
    Chicago, IL 60644

    I'm intrigued... (and skeptical).

    I got "Oh My Noodle" 4031 W. Dempster.

    Anyone ever heard of ( let alone patronized ) this place?

    I've seen it as I speeded by on Dempster. It's approx 2 blocks away from Poochie's. Case Closed.
