Random Thoughts From Marybeth

Let's Do Lunch

There's a site that offers suggestions when you and a friend want to meet for a meal at a restaurant that is about the same distance from each of you - Equidistant Eats.

You simply enter both addresses (you can add one more) and the results will include a list of the restaurants and a Yahoo map of their locations. Restaurants with Web sites include links to the site and you can get directions to the restaurants from any of the addresses you entered.

This would also be handy to use on a trip - either on the way to your destination or finding someplace to eat that is between a couple of attractions that you plan on visiting while there.

I only tried a few addresses but the local one (within the same city) that I did seemed to provided more varied results than those between two cities or states. Instead of showing a dozen or so Golden Corrals or Bob Evans Restaurants it would be nice to have a wider variety and have the chains listed just once with a link to click for all of their addresses.
