OK, I tried this - told it cheap food in Evanston, IL - and it sent me to Taco Bell (apparently my only choice.)

told me to go to Chili's.

Well, obviously, Tom, it has correctly sussed you out as someone with untold millions to squander recklessly on haute cuisine!

Hmmmm. . .

I just tried it. Apparently, the cube could not find one restaurant within 5 or even 10 miles of my zip code. When I finally entered 15 miles, I had to choose "I don't mind" and I was told to go to TGI Fridays in Oak Lawn! I'm just thrilled that I no longer have to think about where or what I want to eat any more since I'm sure I'll be using this service on a daily basis.

Suzy

Now this is humorous -- I already went to Monica's in Prospect Heights -- cheap, sit-down Mexican in 60070, so let's see if it can send me there.

Nope. Enter that data, and it can't find anything. The closest matches are, ready.... Quiznos!

It doesn't even really *sound* Mexican.

I tried once again. I scrolled through the cuisine menu. Hmmm ... Mongolian, that sounds good.

Domino's Pizza

Maybe I don't know as much about Mongolian food as I thought I did.
