I first heard of foursquare from Fred Wilson, who described getting a recommendation on a specific dish off the menu via a friend through Foursquare. That was so COOL! Much cooler than "personalized local search". Maybe they could go back to that? I can get recommendations for just a restaurant from lots of apps, but "go to this restaurant and order this dish" is currently underserved, and more useful.

Doesn't Yelp do a reasonably good job of this? I've certainly gotten recommendations from both tips and its "frequently talked about" algorithm (i.e., "carnitas" shows up a lot in reviews of this taqueria).

  Sounds like it does! I haven't used the Yelp app in a long time. Glad they added tips.
