This app by Magenta Itd immediately piqued my curiosity. Why? Because it’s a food app. You could say it tantalized my tastebuds, involuntarily made me salivate, that I caught a whiff of interest from its delicious title, Foodictionary.

If there’s one thing true about restaurants everywhere it’s that dining out sure isn’t cheap.

One of the best things about living in San Francisco is the culinary opulence that is Chinatown.

So apparently I’m going to die. Well, I knew that of course, but Food Additives by WebArtisan has informed me how: all of the food from the grocery store has potentially dangerous additives that I have concluded will end my life.

“I’ve been yelping since 2005.” When a word has been verbified, in the manner of Internet colloquialisms, it generally indicates how this word has permeated our collective common knowledge.
