Hamburgers & Cupcakes: It’s what’s for Dinner!
There has to be two things that absolutely rock my world…. They make me want to get up and do my happy food dance after the second bite (You know the one you use to do when you were a kid and found out mac n’ cheese was for dinner?). I’m talking about my love for Hamburgers (or any sandwich for that matter) and Cupcakes!

Foodie Spotlight: Gianna Dalla Gasperina
Our second foodie spotlight is on Gianna Dalla Gasperina, who has been around the world and back. Her wanderlust, as well as her love of all things travel, fashion, wine and food is apparent on her blog. Gianna grew up in Seattle (and undoubtedly has an appreciation for the lovely city like our first Foodie), but chose to go abroad to Switzerland for university. She now resides in San...
Cool stuff
Who knew pancakes could be such a delicacy? Thanks to Cory for sharing this very cool Pancake Flight from Orange Restaurant in Chicago. Looks like they have Frushi (fruit sushi) and some other interesting things there as well.
As Nosh grows we are seeing more and more cool stuff from all over. We plan to highlight more of these dishes in our top nosh area of the site, so its easier for...

Noshing around the world
Did you know Bacon and Eggs could look this good? Not surprisingly this nosh was shared from the UK, where a Bacon and Egg sandwich is considered a classic. And this creative twist takes the “classic” combo to a whole new level. Since launching Nosh internationally about a week ago, we have seen a number of interesting noshes around the world and wanted to share ten of the ones that...

Best/Worst Ever: When you rate a dish with either one or five stars, you can decide to make it your best or worst ever Nosh. This will...
Fancy eats
What’s the fanciest food you’ve had? Sometimes it’s fun to splurge a little and order something extra nice for a special occasion. Like this Medaglioni Di Manzo from Karen…filet mignon wrapped with bacon, topped with a red wine sauce and served with grilled vegetables…pretty awesome.
Some foods are known for being delicacies like this Seared Foie Gras from Eugene,...
Nosh @ Le Dîner
It is impossible to avoid a reference from “The Great Gatsby” when describing “Le Dîner a San Francisco,” the magical gathering of white, food, and fun, that took place in Golden Gate Park last Friday evening. It was San Francisco’s debut into “le Dîner” tradition, that originated in Paris and has enlivened cities such as New York and Montreal.
Although the location was revealed an hour before...
Local flavor
Isn’t it interesting how food can vary from place to place? Take this Shrimp Mosca from New Orleans, made with Fresh Louisiana shrimp, bathed in olive oil, rosemary, white wine and garlic, and left in its shell as a sign of freshness. Yum! Thanks to Charles for sharing.
Some other local flavors from top Nosh users this week included this Spam Slam from Zachary in Hawaii, a Baja...
Extra touches
Sometimes its those little extra touches that make the difference between something that is just good and something that is memorable. Its like…happy hour drinks $15, Sushi dinner for two $40, a caterpillar roll that smiles back at you…priceless. Thanks to Christopher for sharing this Caterpillar Roll and here is another creative sushi presentation for a Volcano Roll from Kathy.

Nosh Rocks SF Dish
Nosh sends a big thank you to everyone who made SF Dish such a fun and successful event! The more than 1,500 people who flocked to the Galleria got a little (or big) taste of the best food and wine SF has to offer! Vendors from over 35 top SF restaurants and wineries transformed the four levels of the Design Center into a four-tiered cake of culinary delights and the widespread use of Nosh means...
Noshing at home
Yum…what restaurant was this at?
Actually, this Chicken Cacciatore from Drew was made at home, though it looks as good as you’d find at any restaurant. So many great meals are had at home, and it’s easy to share those on Nosh. Like this Grilled Tilapia with Vegetable Quinoa from Maria or these Stuffed Bell Peppers from Miss Amelia. To nosh from home, just add your home as a...

Cheers
There are memorable foods, memorable drinks, and memorable moments with friends. Thanks to Nikki for this great Nosh of Sayuri Nigori Sake that captures all of this. Many people may not recognize the drink…its not milk or carbonation that causes the color, but rather it is an unfiltered version of sake that leaves behind some of the rice solids and creates the cloudy effect.
There were...
Nosh at Street Fair Derby
This weekend I had the opportunity to represent Nosh at Street Fare Derby in New Orleans (www.streetfarederby.com). Street Fare Derby is a festival where food trucks meets horse racing in the same location. It really doesn’t get much better than that. A city known for its food embraced the food trucks with over 3,000 attendees! All over town phenomenal food trucks have been spotted and it the...
So sweeeet
Sugar. What a wonderful thing. Hard to imagine what food would be like without it. It can range from a subtle hint of flavor to a full on, over-the-top celebration of sweetness, like this Cereal Killer from Psycho Donuts. Thanks to Nhon Le for sharing this colorful creation on Nosh.
There were several other sweet treats from top Nosh users that caught our eye this week. The Kauai Pie...
Food as Art
A great dish can be a work of art in a number of ways. A perfect combination of flavors, an amazing presentation, or a unique variation to name a few. It can even resemble art, like this Daliesque melting cheese over camparis at FnB from Pavle.
The Orange Cinnamon Blossom and Briwatts from Tracy was another unique looking dish from a top Nosh user this week, and Dave captured pickles at their...
Are you ready for some football?
Ah, its that time of year again, and one of my favorite times of all. Yes, in a few hours the 2011 football season will kick off around the country. One of the best things about going to a football game is the food, and not just the food at the stadium, but also the food in the parking lot. The Foot Network even has a show about this (see Tailgate Warriors with Guy Fieri), and there is...

Amazing sushi
A lot of great Noshes this week. Our favorite has to be this impressive Sushi spread from Dave. Love the colors and you can taste the freshness just looking at it. What an amazing shot!
Some other meals to check out from top Nosh users this week are the Crawfish Monica in New Orleans from Pee Dee Foodie and the Gnocchi in Pittsburg from Joanne. And for a nice contrast of toppings there...

What's for breakfast?
Does your coffee smile back at you? If not, you don’t know what you are missing :) We don’t know how they made this cute little face in the swirls of this coffee, but it is awesome. Thanks Adam for sharing!

Thanks to Zachary, one of our top Nosh users for the week, for sharing this stellar pretzel from the Brave Horse Tavern in Seattle. Check out his Nosh page for some other interesting finds, like this Gyro...

Mr. Creative
So we’re really blessed to have a super creative UX designer in Alex Cornell (@alexcornell), but even we had no idea how great he was until he created this awesome video for our 404 pages. But a bit of background…Alex mentioned doing something like this long ago, and we all thought “great idea” but never gave it much more thought as we were heads down building Nosh. Low...
Noshing Around
Hey Everybody…so a crazy two weeks since we launched Nosh, and it’s been awesome. We had great coverage in TechCrunch, Lifehacker, Mashable and GigaOm just to name a few. We’ve also met and welcomed thousands of new Noshers and have had Noshes from as far away as Korea and as local as the Google Cafes. We’re really psyched to have Nosh launched on both iPhones and Android...

What is Nosh?
Nosh is a fun way to share what you eat and find out what’s good everywhere.
Rate and review dishes, not places. After all, it’s the food that matters.
Keep up with friends and see what they’re eating. Follow friends, or anyone so long as they have great tastes!
Find out “what’s good here”. No more relying on the waiter.
Browse menus by the highest...
