21 iPhone Food Apps

Mashable had a great post this week featuring 21 different iPhone food apps. Here's a little preview of the only food app that I've actually been able to try. For details on the other apps check out Mashable's post.


Urban Spoon is a free app that's actually fun. It's a slot machine application that lets you choose your price range and what type of food you're craving. Once you've selected your criteria you literally shake the iPhone and it gives you a list of results near you. My mom and I had already decided what restaurant we wanted to go to and wanted to put Urban Spoon to the test. So we entered our critera and it actually selected the restaurant we had just decided on! Perfect!

Enjoy!

"What's In Store?" Seminar in NYC

I am currently sitting among food and nutrition gurus listening to the speakers at the "What's In Store?" seminar in NYC hosted by Fleishman-Hillard. There are some fabulous speakers who are all discussing the future of food and nutrition- sustainability vs. organic, rising food prices, genomapping, etc. Fleishman is blogging and Tweeting live from the event

You can follow me on Twitter as well!

OMG! Ellie Krieger from the Food Network's "Healthy Appetite" is sitting a table away from me!
Within her question to the panel she included an interesting statistic: currently in the U.S. we waste 27% of available food is wasted, that's 1 pound of food per person per day!

Favorite speakers from today's seminar- Alan Rambam from Fleishman-Hillard's Youth & Mobile Marketing practice and Kathleen Zelman who is the Director of Nutrition at WebMD.
