The Joys of Finding New Restaurants Through the Internet

One of the joys of being on a very non-conventional diet is that I get to dine at as many of the wonderful restaurants in the area as I want. There is just something about being able to head to a new restaurant and not have the restrictions that come with being on a diet or watching my weight that makes me feel amazing.

To capitalize on this new found feeling, I have taken advantage of Internet searching to discover some culinary gems. The Internet is a great tool that allows me to find some of the best tasting, little known restaurants in town.

My friends always ask me how I found these little hole-in-the-wall places. I have been reluctant to share my secrets until now. I am about to reveal my methods for finding some of the best restaurants in the area that are not well-known.

My secret is in using websites such as Yelp and Canada 411. I will simply type in a few keywords that relate to restaurants such as Chinese restaurant, Japanese restaurant or steakhouses and see what results I get. Sometimes the results pull up reviews, other times I don’t have a clue what kind of restaurant it will be. There is just something about the mystery that makes some of the restaurants that I try so amazing.

Sure, there have been plenty of restaurants that I have visited where, after I ordered and ate my meal, I wished I hadn’t found the place. However, my theory in life is you never know what you are missing until you try, and there are just so many great little-known restaurants out there that I would have missed if I hadn’t browsed the Internet and found out about them. That’s my kind of adventure.
