Now, the majority of reviews give the restaurant one star, refer to the owners as \"terrorists,\" talk about \"72 virgin bucket specials\" and mention — repeatedly — that their chicken is \"the bomb.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First American Fried Chicken has gotten 13 pages of new reviews since the news broke that the owner's son, Ahmad Khan Rahami, was the suspect in last weekend's Manhattan and New Jersey bombings.\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before Yelp was founded in 2004, reviewing was the domain of professional critics. In the past decade, the public has discovered social media is not just a way to connect but a great way to air grievances. Once, if a business or business owner did something members of the public didn't like, they had little recourse besides protesting in person or to their local Better Business Bureau.

Now it’s easy to pinpoint exactly what you’re looking for online, whether it’s a budget-friendly pizza place that takes credit cards or a wine bar with small plates and a back patio.\u003cspan id=\"more-22537\">\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it’s still not easy to find out whether or not the sausage on that pizza comes from humanely raised pigs, or the wine bar sources local produce for its tapas. It’s that sustainable foodie niche that \u003ca href=\"http://www.eatwellguide.org/\">Eat Well Guide\u003c/a> hopes to fill with its latest iteration. The site now has more than 25,000 free listings of farms, farmers’ markets, restaurants, co-ops, and other places that sell or promote locally grown, sustainably produced food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eat Well Guide began as a directory of sustainably raised animal products for the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy (IATP), and joined with Sustainable Table in 2003 to become a more comprehensive resource. Both are created by GRACE Communication Foundation, which also produced \u003ca href=\"http://www.watercalculator.org/\">The Water Footprint Calculator\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.themeatrix.com/\">The Meatrix\u003c/a>, a short animated film about the realities of industrial farming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The latest version of the Guide, released this week, is significantly more mobile-friendly and uses GPS to give you recommendations near you. And they’re not just tips for farmers’ markets and vegan restaurants, either. You can search the site for pizza, burgers, Mexican food, and pretty much any other cuisine or attribute, and find places that share the values of sustainability and environmental stewardship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_97534\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1024px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/06/eatwell_pizza_sf-1024x550.jpg\" alt=\"Pizza places on Eat Well Guide\" width=\"1024\" height=\"550\" class=\"size-full wp-image-97534\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/06/eatwell_pizza_sf-1024x550.jpg 1024w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/06/eatwell_pizza_sf-1024x550-400x215.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/06/eatwell_pizza_sf-1024x550-800x430.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/06/eatwell_pizza_sf-1024x550-960x516.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pizza places on Eat Well Guide \u003ccite>(Eat Well Guide)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The site is able to do this because an in-house team actually goes in and curates the listings in 18 cities around the country. (Yelp’s crowd-sourced information, on the other hand, doesn’t have much editorial oversight.) Dawn Brighid, project director for the Guide, and four other full-time staff members have been working feverishly over the last six months to update the listings, with a special focus on adding new restaurants, grocery stores, and bed and breakfasts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To be included in the Eat Well Guide, vendors need to demonstrate a commitment to supporting sustainable agriculture. But that can mean a variety of things to different businesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that’s a big part of the challenge the Guide’s creators face, especially when it comes to restaurants. In an era where greenwashing and “local-washing” is rampant, Brighid and her staff rely on a variety of tools to vet each listing. “In the best-case scenario, everything is obvious on the website,” she says. “They might talk about supporting sustainable ag, or list farms and purveyors they work with, so we can check them out.” But that doesn’t happen all the time, so Brighid makes phone calls, looks for articles about the owner and/or chef, and relies on feedback from past Guide users.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On top of the challenges of researching businesses all across the country from their office in Manhattan, Brighid and her team encounter many businesses with statements about “using organic, local, sustainable food whenever possible.” Indeed, when we called several of the restaurants listed in the Bay Area, we found a range of transparency about sourcing. One pizza place could tell us about the farmer co-op that provided its flour, and the heritage pigs it bought from a nearby farm. Others were much more vague, or told us about the few staple ingredients they sources organically when they could, and their intentions to add more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it comes down to it, Brighid says she often has to go with her gut, which can cause her to air on the conservative side. “If they have a farmers’ market salad and ‘all-natural’ chicken and they say they do it as ‘often as they can,’ that doesn’t feel good enough,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Each location has information about its sourcing and animal welfare practices, when applicable. Listings also contain business hours, a map, and links to websites and social media. A glossary provides more information about everything from biodynamic agriculture to food miles. While the Guide is based on a specific list of \u003ca href=\"http://odc.eatwellguide.org/info\">standards\u003c/a>. GRACE isn’t in the business of providing third-party certification. They also acknowledge that sustainability is a spectrum and not everyone is as far along that spectrum as one would hope.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_97533\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1024px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/06/eatwell_birite_sf-1024x583.jpg\" alt=\"Bi-Rite on Eat Well Guide\" width=\"1024\" height=\"583\" class=\"size-full wp-image-97533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/06/eatwell_birite_sf-1024x583.jpg 1024w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/06/eatwell_birite_sf-1024x583-400x228.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/06/eatwell_birite_sf-1024x583-800x455.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/06/eatwell_birite_sf-1024x583-960x547.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bi-Rite on Eat Well Guide \u003ccite>(Eat Well Guide)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://odc.eatwellguide.org/info\">The Guide is also set up to serve users in a wide range of locations\u003c/a>. “There are areas of the country where there aren’t a lot of options,” says Leslie Hatfield, GRACE’s communications director. “We want to show people that there are places that are better than McDonalds.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while some establishments are more boastful than they should be, many others don’t do enough to make their practices public, says Brighid. “There are probably many great restaurants I have passed up because I couldn’t get more info.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that’s also where the web’s crowdsourcing potential enters the picture. Beside each listing is a button users can click if they’ve like to help improve it. “We’re really hoping that people will tip us off if they think something isn’t sustainable, or they see that their favorite sustainable restaurant isn’t in there,” Brighid says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Along with helping consumers make more educated choices, the Eat Well Guide hopes to give more visibility to vendors. “We know that sustainable food vendors offer products that consumers want, but it’s difficult to compete with the enormous advertising budgets of industrial food producers,” said Chris Hunt, food program director at GRACE, in a statement. The hope is when more consumers can easily find these businesses, the playing field will become a little more level.\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"The website's latest update has mobile-friendly listings for more than 25,000 restaurants, markets, and farms with a focus on sustainability.

Now it’s easy to pinpoint exactly what you’re looking for online, whether it’s a budget-friendly pizza place that takes credit cards or a wine bar with small plates and a back patio.\u003cspan id=\"more-22537\">\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it’s still not easy to find out whether or not the sausage on that pizza comes from humanely raised pigs, or the wine bar sources local produce for its tapas. It’s that sustainable foodie niche that \u003ca href=\"http://www.eatwellguide.org/\">Eat Well Guide\u003c/a> hopes to fill with its latest iteration. The site now has more than 25,000 free listings of farms, farmers’ markets, restaurants, co-ops, and other places that sell or promote locally grown, sustainably produced food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eat Well Guide began as a directory of sustainably raised animal products for the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy (IATP), and joined with Sustainable Table in 2003 to become a more comprehensive resource. Both are created by GRACE Communication Foundation, which also produced \u003ca href=\"http://www.watercalculator.org/\">The Water Footprint Calculator\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.themeatrix.com/\">The Meatrix\u003c/a>, a short animated film about the realities of industrial farming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The latest version of the Guide, released this week, is significantly more mobile-friendly and uses GPS to give you recommendations near you. And they’re not just tips for farmers’ markets and vegan restaurants, either. You can search the site for pizza, burgers, Mexican food, and pretty much any other cuisine or attribute, and find places that share the values of sustainability and environmental stewardship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_97534\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1024px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/06/eatwell_pizza_sf-1024x550.jpg\" alt=\"Pizza places on Eat Well Guide\" width=\"1024\" height=\"550\" class=\"size-full wp-image-97534\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/06/eatwell_pizza_sf-1024x550.jpg 1024w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/06/eatwell_pizza_sf-1024x550-400x215.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/06/eatwell_pizza_sf-1024x550-800x430.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/06/eatwell_pizza_sf-1024x550-960x516.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pizza places on Eat Well Guide \u003ccite>(Eat Well Guide)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The site is able to do this because an in-house team actually goes in and curates the listings in 18 cities around the country. (Yelp’s crowd-sourced information, on the other hand, doesn’t have much editorial oversight.) Dawn Brighid, project director for the Guide, and four other full-time staff members have been working feverishly over the last six months to update the listings, with a special focus on adding new restaurants, grocery stores, and bed and breakfasts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To be included in the Eat Well Guide, vendors need to demonstrate a commitment to supporting sustainable agriculture. But that can mean a variety of things to different businesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that’s a big part of the challenge the Guide’s creators face, especially when it comes to restaurants. In an era where greenwashing and “local-washing” is rampant, Brighid and her staff rely on a variety of tools to vet each listing. “In the best-case scenario, everything is obvious on the website,” she says. “They might talk about supporting sustainable ag, or list farms and purveyors they work with, so we can check them out.” But that doesn’t happen all the time, so Brighid makes phone calls, looks for articles about the owner and/or chef, and relies on feedback from past Guide users.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On top of the challenges of researching businesses all across the country from their office in Manhattan, Brighid and her team encounter many businesses with statements about “using organic, local, sustainable food whenever possible.” Indeed, when we called several of the restaurants listed in the Bay Area, we found a range of transparency about sourcing. One pizza place could tell us about the farmer co-op that provided its flour, and the heritage pigs it bought from a nearby farm. Others were much more vague, or told us about the few staple ingredients they sources organically when they could, and their intentions to add more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it comes down to it, Brighid says she often has to go with her gut, which can cause her to air on the conservative side. “If they have a farmers’ market salad and ‘all-natural’ chicken and they say they do it as ‘often as they can,’ that doesn’t feel good enough,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Each location has information about its sourcing and animal welfare practices, when applicable. Listings also contain business hours, a map, and links to websites and social media. A glossary provides more information about everything from biodynamic agriculture to food miles. While the Guide is based on a specific list of \u003ca href=\"http://odc.eatwellguide.org/info\">standards\u003c/a>. GRACE isn’t in the business of providing third-party certification. They also acknowledge that sustainability is a spectrum and not everyone is as far along that spectrum as one would hope.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_97533\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1024px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/06/eatwell_birite_sf-1024x583.jpg\" alt=\"Bi-Rite on Eat Well Guide\" width=\"1024\" height=\"583\" class=\"size-full wp-image-97533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/06/eatwell_birite_sf-1024x583.jpg 1024w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/06/eatwell_birite_sf-1024x583-400x228.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/06/eatwell_birite_sf-1024x583-800x455.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/06/eatwell_birite_sf-1024x583-960x547.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bi-Rite on Eat Well Guide \u003ccite>(Eat Well Guide)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://odc.eatwellguide.org/info\">The Guide is also set up to serve users in a wide range of locations\u003c/a>. “There are areas of the country where there aren’t a lot of options,” says Leslie Hatfield, GRACE’s communications director. “We want to show people that there are places that are better than McDonalds.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while some establishments are more boastful than they should be, many others don’t do enough to make their practices public, says Brighid. “There are probably many great restaurants I have passed up because I couldn’t get more info.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that’s also where the web’s crowdsourcing potential enters the picture. Beside each listing is a button users can click if they’ve like to help improve it. “We’re really hoping that people will tip us off if they think something isn’t sustainable, or they see that their favorite sustainable restaurant isn’t in there,” Brighid says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Along with helping consumers make more educated choices, the Eat Well Guide hopes to give more visibility to vendors. “We know that sustainable food vendors offer products that consumers want, but it’s difficult to compete with the enormous advertising budgets of industrial food producers,” said Chris Hunt, food program director at GRACE, in a statement. The hope is when more consumers can easily find these businesses, the playing field will become a little more level.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/bayareabites/97506/searching-for-food-you-can-believe-in-eat-well-guides-new-app-has-you-covered","authors":["byline_bayareabites_97506"],"categories":["bayareabites_13718","bayareabites_4084","bayareabites_2035","bayareabites_60"],"tags":["bayareabites_12108","bayareabites_14602","bayareabites_14604","bayareabites_14603","bayareabites_939"],"featImg":"bayareabites_97535","label":"bayareabites"},"bayareabites_82424":{"type":"posts","id":"bayareabites_82424","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"bayareabites","id":"82424","score":null,"sort":[1400853672000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"how-yelp-can-help-disease-detectives-track-food-poisoning","title":"How Yelp Can Help Disease Detectives Track Food Poisoning","publishDate":1400853672,"format":"aside","headTitle":"Bay Area Bites | KQED Food","labelTerm":{"site":"bayareabites"},"content":"\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_82425\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1800px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/05/yelp-1_wide-c07e41ca11053d2d7c30aafa94556b2ea5e53f5f.jpg\" alt=\"The Yelp app maps out restaurant locations in Manhattan.

In turn, the reviews left on sites like Yelp can have a big effect on many restaurants' bottom lines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's created a huge incentive for businesses to write \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/blogs/alltechconsidered/2013/09/23/225455596/fake-reviewers-get-zero-stars-from-new-york-attorney-general\">fake positive reviews about themselves\u003c/a>, called \"astroturfing.\" Some fake reviews are written by the businesses, while others are produced in bulk by reputation management companies. Michael Luca of the Harvard Business School and Georgios Zervas of Boston University wanted to figure out the exact conditions under which companies have strongest incentive to leave a fake review.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Luca and Zervas analyzed 316,415 reviews for 3,625 Boston-area restaurants written between 2004 through 2012, all of which Yelp had already flagged as potentially fraudulent. These \"filtered\" reviews \u003ca href=\"http://officialblog.yelp.com/2013/09/fake-reviews-on-yelp-dont-worry-weve-got-your-back.html\">make up\u003c/a> about 25 percent of the 42 million total reviews submitted for all businesses. Of the filtered reviews, Luca and Zervas found 16 percent of reviews weren't legitimate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But defining fraudulence is tricky, especially since Luca and Zervas don't know exactly what makes Yelp's private algorithm tick. According to \u003ca href=\"http://ftc.gov/os/2009/10/091005revisedendorsementguides.pdf\">guidelines\u003c/a> from the Federal Trade Commission, a review written by the business owner, family members, competitors or a compensated reviewer would be considered false advertising. But an owner who encourages users to review his restaurant (and provides instructions) falls into a grey area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Luca and Zervas' study, which is currently being reviewed by a journal for publication, draws a few large conclusions about who cheats and why. They found that restaurants that have a \"weak\" reputation (few and/or poor reviews) are more likely to boost their presence with fake positive reviews. Those that faced more regional competition might write positive reviews for themselves and leave negative reviews for competitors. Luca and Zervas also found that chain restaurants, which do not benefit greatly from Yelp, are less likely to commit review fraud.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Luca says he was surprised to find that ethics had nothing to do with it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This type of decision was influenced by the amount of competition and incentives,\" he says. \"This wasn't just a story of a few rotten apples that were going to leave a bad review no matter what.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The number of posts Yelp has to filter has increased dramatically in its nine-year existence.

In turn, the reviews left on sites like Yelp can have a big effect on many restaurants' bottom lines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's created a huge incentive for businesses to write \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/blogs/alltechconsidered/2013/09/23/225455596/fake-reviewers-get-zero-stars-from-new-york-attorney-general\">fake positive reviews about themselves\u003c/a>, called \"astroturfing.\" Some fake reviews are written by the businesses, while others are produced in bulk by reputation management companies. Michael Luca of the Harvard Business School and Georgios Zervas of Boston University wanted to figure out the exact conditions under which companies have strongest incentive to leave a fake review.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Luca and Zervas analyzed 316,415 reviews for 3,625 Boston-area restaurants written between 2004 through 2012, all of which Yelp had already flagged as potentially fraudulent. These \"filtered\" reviews \u003ca href=\"http://officialblog.yelp.com/2013/09/fake-reviews-on-yelp-dont-worry-weve-got-your-back.html\">make up\u003c/a> about 25 percent of the 42 million total reviews submitted for all businesses. Of the filtered reviews, Luca and Zervas found 16 percent of reviews weren't legitimate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But defining fraudulence is tricky, especially since Luca and Zervas don't know exactly what makes Yelp's private algorithm tick. According to \u003ca href=\"http://ftc.gov/os/2009/10/091005revisedendorsementguides.pdf\">guidelines\u003c/a> from the Federal Trade Commission, a review written by the business owner, family members, competitors or a compensated reviewer would be considered false advertising. But an owner who encourages users to review his restaurant (and provides instructions) falls into a grey area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Luca and Zervas' study, which is currently being reviewed by a journal for publication, draws a few large conclusions about who cheats and why. They found that restaurants that have a \"weak\" reputation (few and/or poor reviews) are more likely to boost their presence with fake positive reviews. Those that faced more regional competition might write positive reviews for themselves and leave negative reviews for competitors. Luca and Zervas also found that chain restaurants, which do not benefit greatly from Yelp, are less likely to commit review fraud.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Luca says he was surprised to find that ethics had nothing to do with it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This type of decision was influenced by the amount of competition and incentives,\" he says. \"This wasn't just a story of a few rotten apples that were going to leave a bad review no matter what.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The number of posts Yelp has to filter has increased dramatically in its nine-year existence.

A few days before Im's post appeared, I myself joined the group with a few lazy clicks, galvanized into action by the droves of friends doing the same. At least, with its relentless updates regarding their statuses, Facebook made me feel like I was part of a movement. \"Is it because we all love a juicy secret? Is it because we're bored?\" wondered Im in her piece. \"Perhaps we gravitate to these projects because they exude a sense of authenticity, of being 'in the know,' and part of something special and communal,\" she continued. \"Or, it could simply be...some things are just too good to keep to ourselves.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Im listed the Iso Rabins-curated \u003ca href=\"http://foragesf.wordpress.com/2009/12/15/the-market-is-happening/\">Underground Farmers Markets\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://blog.missionstreetfood.com/\">Mission Street Food\u003c/a>'s feasts at Lung Shan, and all manner of street carts as the sorts of secrets worth shouting around, but those examples might as well be echos -- almost old news to studious, Internet-savvy members of the eats-frenzied populous. At this point, despite their youth and D.I.Y. ethos, they are institutions, pillars of the city's mainstream, well-documented food culture. Still, regardless of your personal familiarity with Im's suggestions, Secret San Francisco makes its mission clear enough: \"Share San Francisco's secrets! Post any lesser known great places to see in San Francisco. Please give details of how we can locate it and what makes it a hidden gem.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A certain variety of hard-charging food sleuth elitist loves dropping a rarified knowledge of the city's unheralded offerings. Another group of elitists takes no less pleasure in heaping abuse on the first for drawing attention to the sneaky little places they covet for themselves. Occasionally, they invade Secret San Francisco's Facebook page. The best naysayers employ deadpan sarcasm. One suggests Burger King for a great hamburger; another celebrates a little grocery store called Safeway. Some however directly criticize eager posters for sharing too much, operating under the not unreasonable logic that widespread publicity on behalf of something unknown tends to make that thing known pretty well very quickly. What if your favorite bowl of pho suddenly became half the city's favorite too? Would it suddenly start tasting a little bland and watery? Would you tell yourself that the cook was slipping? Would you maybe start believing that he'd gotten so drunk on the fame Facebook had brought his pho, that he'd -- with pungent irony -- neglected to keep preparing it with quality in mind? Or would you still love that pho but merely hate the swiftly forming crowds -- lines of pho-fanatics at the door, arriving earlier and earlier each morning, leaning against the cafe's glass windows, poking away at iPhones, waiting for the sign to flip. With their incessant chatter and their rows of white order tickets fluttering in the kitchen window, the people on the sidewalk swarming in -- presumably without jobs to attend, errands to run, or any otherwise consuming pursuits -- would scuttle your plans for timely lunch-break repasts. You'd stop going altogether. The cafe would start selling its pho at a stand outside the Ferry Building on Saturday mornings. The price would double. Amanda Gold would write about it. You'd find another favorite pho spot, which might or might not be an attention-seeking copy of the one you started out loving in the first place. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To shuffle in a music world hypothetical: If guttural blips, synthetic gurgles, and ambient drones suddenly enjoyed broad popularity, and noise bands displaced Jay-Z, The Killers, and Coldplay at the top of the charts, would the bands' old fans -- \u003ca href=\"http://www.aquariusrecords.org/\">Aquarius Records\u003c/a> employees, mostly -- take solace in the Black Eyed Peas, by now a fringe retro-pop act struggling to pack Bottom of the Hill on forays through the Bay Area? Probably not, but people stressing out over the decreased edginess of what they consume -- whether it be music or a bowl of pho -- tend to be overly concerned with how their consumption patterns reflect upon them as people -- at least, no less concerned than those who fire up the laptop every time they trip over a good sandwich. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a comment to Im's post, Haggie (one name, like Madonna) accused Secret San Francisco of catering to \"lazy suburb dweller[s]\" trolling websites for cool food scenes to muck up. While it's pretty far-fetched to claim that \"anyone...[living] in San Francisco knows about the secret spots\" already, Haggie does have a point, albeit one couched in excessively feisty lingo. Since witnessing a half-block line curling along the pavement outside of Lung Shan on a Thursday evening at 5:35 p.m. nearly eight months ago, I have not even tried to go to Mission Street Food -- not because I think popularity has dulled the value or coolness of the operation's goals in the slightest, but because I don't like to wait. Waiting might not be a problem anymore. And I could always make a reservation, I guess, but just remembering the line makes me think of crowds, which I don't like -- and suddenly the idea of going starts feeling like an ordeal to weather.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One problem with Secret San Francisco's Facebook page is the fact that restaurant owners post on it about events happening at their own establishments. That is sort of lame, just on principle. I won't mention any of the names I recognized, but I have seen a few things written by a few people probably largely interested in generating business for themselves, not spreading the wealth of shared experience. Likewise, incidentally, some of the exuberant laudatory posts regarding bands I have never ever heard of come off as plants by members, friends of members, or girlfriends or boyfriends of members. The thing has been around for a few weeks and it's already nearly as tainted as Yelp, that dinosaur of a site \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/mbauer/detail?blogid=26&entry_id=28020\">plagued\u003c/a> by posters grubbing for freebies by way of harsh critiques -- many of which seem far-fetched. On Yelp, after all, a reviewer might give a pupusa place two stars and claim a general deep-seated aversion to pupusas as sole cause for the expressed discontent. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Internet insists on constantly providing us with new ways of searching out, organizing, and assessing the stuff we like to do in the city. Restaurants, bars, grocery stores, and street carts enjoy an absurd amount of attention on Twitter, Chowhound message-boards, assorted iPhone apps, \u003ca href=\"http://www.tablehopper.com/\">Tablehopper\u003c/a> (along with less ubiquitous electronic bulletins), and of course, now Secret San Francisco. The subjects are not necessarily new, but the channels of communication are configured differently with each innovation and trend. I don't want to blame them for all of the potential problems associated with the rampant sharing of the city's secrets. The real problem is that people have too much time on their hands, and they're choosing to spend it online, telling everyone they can about what they like and do not like. In addition to actually working at work, getting exercise, and playing with their kids, people should walk around and physically see the city for something other than a flickering stew of html, updates, messages, and links. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a writer who masquerades as a blogger, I frequently fall prey to the tendency. On a daily basis, I must look for fresh topics to cover, and sometimes that leads me to rely too much on the Internet's ever-changing spectrum of social networking possibilities for inspiration. Someone reports something -- a secret, maybe -- and it ricochets off of other websites. It's linked, and re-linked, Tweeted, and re-Tweeted, posted, and re-posted. Writers here and there lackadaisically re-write the news as fresh content for a site, and the process starts again and again with slightly different slants each time. Within 24 hours, the secret is out like a light, nearly all bases are covered, and the story is as dead as a slab of fish on ice -- all thanks to the publicity pinball machine. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At times, I wonder how my very minor contributions to the maelstrom affect restaurants and businesses. I'll walk past a restaurant and think: Wow, I'm here, for the first time; I wrote about their egg salad special last week -- I wonder if they're selling more egg salad now. I'd just as soon turn off the computer and poke around the city and write about what I uncover. When content is required to circulate so rapidly, that vein of information-gathering is inefficient. Though I do my best, I wouldn't have time to do laundry if I relied upon it solely. At the same time, it's much more satisfying that way. When I moved here in 2002, San Francisco was a different city. That wasn't long ago, but the way I learned the city then -- specifically food to seek out -- was through people I met at parties, book club, work, and pick-up basketball games. I read the newspaper food sections and hit up Yelp from time to time, but I also just talked to people and visited the restaurants they recommended -- places like \u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz/el-zocalo-san-francisco\">El Zocolo\u003c/a> and the now-defunct \u003ca href=\"http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/17611/\">Lorca\u003c/a>. Doing so made me a more social person. It made me attack the city so as to eat what I heard was worth eating. The secrets I've amassed that way have stuck with me the longest, probably because I have faces, stories, and voices to go with them. They are ones I share with others -- in conversation, whenever possible.\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"Last week, Bay Area Bites blogger Stephanie Im called attention to Secret San Francisco's popular Facebook presence.

And I could always make a reservation, I guess, but just remembering the line makes me think of crowds, which I don't like -- and suddenly the idea of going starts feeling like an ordeal to weather.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One problem with Secret San Francisco's Facebook page is the fact that restaurant owners post on it about events happening at their own establishments. That is sort of lame, just on principle. I won't mention any of the names I recognized, but I have seen a few things written by a few people probably largely interested in generating business for themselves, not spreading the wealth of shared experience. Likewise, incidentally, some of the exuberant laudatory posts regarding bands I have never ever heard of come off as plants by members, friends of members, or girlfriends or boyfriends of members. The thing has been around for a few weeks and it's already nearly as tainted as Yelp, that dinosaur of a site \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/mbauer/detail?blogid=26&entry_id=28020\">plagued\u003c/a> by posters grubbing for freebies by way of harsh critiques -- many of which seem far-fetched. On Yelp, after all, a reviewer might give a pupusa place two stars and claim a general deep-seated aversion to pupusas as sole cause for the expressed discontent. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Internet insists on constantly providing us with new ways of searching out, organizing, and assessing the stuff we like to do in the city. Restaurants, bars, grocery stores, and street carts enjoy an absurd amount of attention on Twitter, Chowhound message-boards, assorted iPhone apps, \u003ca href=\"http://www.tablehopper.com/\">Tablehopper\u003c/a> (along with less ubiquitous electronic bulletins), and of course, now Secret San Francisco. The subjects are not necessarily new, but the channels of communication are configured differently with each innovation and trend. I don't want to blame them for all of the potential problems associated with the rampant sharing of the city's secrets. The real problem is that people have too much time on their hands, and they're choosing to spend it online, telling everyone they can about what they like and do not like. In addition to actually working at work, getting exercise, and playing with their kids, people should walk around and physically see the city for something other than a flickering stew of html, updates, messages, and links. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a writer who masquerades as a blogger, I frequently fall prey to the tendency. On a daily basis, I must look for fresh topics to cover, and sometimes that leads me to rely too much on the Internet's ever-changing spectrum of social networking possibilities for inspiration. Someone reports something -- a secret, maybe -- and it ricochets off of other websites. It's linked, and re-linked, Tweeted, and re-Tweeted, posted, and re-posted. Writers here and there lackadaisically re-write the news as fresh content for a site, and the process starts again and again with slightly different slants each time. Within 24 hours, the secret is out like a light, nearly all bases are covered, and the story is as dead as a slab of fish on ice -- all thanks to the publicity pinball machine. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At times, I wonder how my very minor contributions to the maelstrom affect restaurants and businesses. I'll walk past a restaurant and think: Wow, I'm here, for the first time; I wrote about their egg salad special last week -- I wonder if they're selling more egg salad now. I'd just as soon turn off the computer and poke around the city and write about what I uncover. When content is required to circulate so rapidly, that vein of information-gathering is inefficient. Though I do my best, I wouldn't have time to do laundry if I relied upon it solely. At the same time, it's much more satisfying that way. When I moved here in 2002, San Francisco was a different city. That wasn't long ago, but the way I learned the city then -- specifically food to seek out -- was through people I met at parties, book club, work, and pick-up basketball games. I read the newspaper food sections and hit up Yelp from time to time, but I also just talked to people and visited the restaurants they recommended -- places like \u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz/el-zocalo-san-francisco\">El Zocolo\u003c/a> and the now-defunct \u003ca href=\"http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/17611/\">Lorca\u003c/a>. Doing so made me a more social person. It made me attack the city so as to eat what I heard was worth eating. The secrets I've amassed that way have stuck with me the longest, probably because I have faces, stories, and voices to go with them. They are ones I share with others -- in conversation, whenever possible.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/bayareabites/10783/secret-post","authors":["5060"],"categories":["bayareabites_1865","bayareabites_90"],"tags":["bayareabites_553","bayareabites_3510","bayareabites_3511","bayareabites_3483","bayareabites_2025","bayareabites_939"],"label":"bayareabites"},"bayareabites_1219":{"type":"posts","id":"bayareabites_1219","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"bayareabites","id":"1219","score":null,"sort":[1215197889000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"yelp-no-thanks-for-sharing","title":"Yelp: (No) Thanks for Sharing","publishDate":1215197889,"format":"aside","headTitle":"Bay Area Bites | KQED Food","labelTerm":{"site":"bayareabites"},"content":"\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com/\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2008/07/yelplogo.jpg\" alt=\"yelp logo\" align=\"left\">\u003c/a>In celebration of our most patriotic holiday, I am declaring my own independence from what I consider one of the most irritating sites on the internet-- \u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com/\">Yelp.com\u003c/a>.

Was it her penchant for using fecal terms when describing her experience? Perhaps it was her photos (which are required of all Elite members). Maybe her two lip rings at the right-hand corner of her mouth catch enough food so that she might savor it more thoughtfully upon her return home from dining, quill pen in hand and that deep-in-thought dreamy look that only fake, blue-tinted contact lenses can properly convey. Does she have \u003cem>\"that certain je ne sais quoi\"?\u003c/em> I'm thinking it's more like elle ne sait rien.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, I've had my fun at Yelp's expense today, but to be fair(ish), I must say that, in browsing the site for several hours this week, I have come across some people who do offer thoughtful-- and fairly well-written-- reviews. Case in point: Kerry \"Tempura Assassin\" K in describing her experience at Burritoville in San Anselmo:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\"[My husband] was a little more offended at the sight of iceberg lettuce on his carne asada taco ($2.95) than I was. Granted, yes, iceberg lettuce in a Mexican restaurant is an insult to my intelligence, I was able to forgive. This was largely due to the chips, which were thick, crisp, and toasty as well as a lovely salsa bar, friendly and welcoming service, a clean environment, and a buy 9 get 1 free taco card.\"\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\"Caveat lector: on the back of the frequent buyer card, it spells out the number of tacos in spanish, \"uno, dos, etc.\" After the 9th one it says \"bingo gringo\". Gringo eh? That must mean that either Latinos and Chicanos don't eat here or the food isn't real Mexican. So perhaps my taste can't be trusted with this review. If you keep reading, read on with that in mind.\"\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finally, someone who notices and describes those little details that make a review worth reading. That, and the fact that she used the term \u003cem>caveat lector\u003c/em> correctly (or at all). A bright, shining tablet of antacid to save me from so much Yelping bile. I'd really like to hug her. If elite membership could be limited to the likes of Kerry, I think I might have a little more faith in the website. Otherwise, what is the point of creating an elite class, if it is open to, well, everyone?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you accused me of elitism, you'd be absolutely correct in doing so. Why should I waste my time reading the average person's average review? I don't want an average guy running my country, building my home, or giving me a colonoscopy. I want experts. I want smart people. Same goes for my restaurant reviewers. If all you can give me in describing a gumbo is \"OMGITSAWESUM!!!\", perhaps you should just keep it to yourself.

I read the bit about why she likes the Watermelon Sweet Tea about ten times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you're interested in reading about her bikini waxing at the Pink Cheeks Skin Salon in Sherman Oaks, I will happily email you her yelp profile.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I had hoped the members of \u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com/elite\">Yelp Elite\u003c/a> might be a little more helpful or, at least, better writers, since the elite page states:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\"...Yelp members who get in are known for having reviews that are insightful, irreverent and personal (aka useful, funny and cool!).\"\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, it also requests that Elite members have:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\"Personal pizazz! Even after all this, we look for a certain je ne sais quoi—we call it Yelpitude. To paraphrase Supreme Court Justice James Stewart when defining pornography in a case about obscenity, 'Yelp Elite is hard to define, but we \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_know_it_when_I_see_it\">'know it when we see it.'\u003c/a>\"\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps I should have sensed trouble when I realized the Yelp Elite squad (or, at least, the person responsible for writing the copy) had mistaken a much-beloved \u003ca href=\"http://www.jimmy.org/\">Campbell's Soup-hawking actor\u003c/a> for Supreme Court Justice \u003ca href=\"http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/p/potter_stewart.html\">Potter Stewart\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first elite reviewer I read was a young lady named Beverly. She went on and on about her experience with a DAT date to Frisée Restaurant in the Castro. I hope that by DAT she meant \"Dine About Town\". Please read:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\"Sidenote: It was cramped as s**t. We sat upstairs and the ceiling was like 6 feet high and we sat at a tiny itty bitty table next to a tiny itty bitty walk way. Oh and the service. SLOW AS S**T. I want to minus stars for the service but the food was so good I just can't bring myself to do it.\"\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What is it about her personal writing style that led her to become part of the Yelp Elite? Was it her penchant for using fecal terms when describing her experience? Perhaps it was her photos (which are required of all Elite members). Maybe her two lip rings at the right-hand corner of her mouth catch enough food so that she might savor it more thoughtfully upon her return home from dining, quill pen in hand and that deep-in-thought dreamy look that only fake, blue-tinted contact lenses can properly convey. Does she have \u003cem>\"that certain je ne sais quoi\"?\u003c/em> I'm thinking it's more like elle ne sait rien.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, I've had my fun at Yelp's expense today, but to be fair(ish), I must say that, in browsing the site for several hours this week, I have come across some people who do offer thoughtful-- and fairly well-written-- reviews. Case in point: Kerry \"Tempura Assassin\" K in describing her experience at Burritoville in San Anselmo:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\"[My husband] was a little more offended at the sight of iceberg lettuce on his carne asada taco ($2.95) than I was. Granted, yes, iceberg lettuce in a Mexican restaurant is an insult to my intelligence, I was able to forgive. This was largely due to the chips, which were thick, crisp, and toasty as well as a lovely salsa bar, friendly and welcoming service, a clean environment, and a buy 9 get 1 free taco card.\"\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\"Caveat lector: on the back of the frequent buyer card, it spells out the number of tacos in spanish, \"uno, dos, etc.\" After the 9th one it says \"bingo gringo\". Gringo eh? That must mean that either Latinos and Chicanos don't eat here or the food isn't real Mexican. So perhaps my taste can't be trusted with this review. If you keep reading, read on with that in mind.\"\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finally, someone who notices and describes those little details that make a review worth reading. That, and the fact that she used the term \u003cem>caveat lector\u003c/em> correctly (or at all). A bright, shining tablet of antacid to save me from so much Yelping bile. I'd really like to hug her. If elite membership could be limited to the likes of Kerry, I think I might have a little more faith in the website.
