Anthony Bourdain is a smart man, and understands the Internets:

The question at hand was how to find good restaurants, and his answer was to take the city you want to go to and just google up some restaurant names that serve the dish you're after. Then go to chowhound or another foodie site, and rather than asking about restaurants, you put up an enthusiastic post talking about how you just had the best whatever you're looking for at one of these restaurants.

At that point . . . the nerdfury will begin. Posters will show up from nowhere to shower you with disdain, tell you how that place used to be good but has now totally sold out and — most important to your quest — will tell you where you would have gone if you were not some sort of mouth breathing water buffalo.

I'd like to think that I'm nicer than most of the culinary nerds out there, but just as opinionated.

Here's something totally nifty: There's this guy named Judson Cowan that makes music for, among other things, nonexistent video games. It's very old-school bloopy and beepy and v. atmospheric--I think it would have been an awesome set of games.
