Well, being country-wide is definitely not usual, but most of the restaurant communities don't include recipies - ours (nyc_cuisine) doesn't and from what I've seen dc_dining doesn't either. Maybe the others do, I dunno.

So lemme ask you - what's the appeal to nationwide reviews/comments? Most of the time, it seems people are going to be eating in one area all of the time - or even if they go on vacation, it'll be to one area. I suppose there are roadtrips and such which are the exception, but why not just start one or more new regional communities instead of doing the nation-wide thing?

(I've got nothing against it, mind you, I just don't personally see the appeal.)

Anyways, g'luck with the community.

(I was thinking, what might be interesting is a "meta" dining-community - basically a central place that discusses the other dining communities and what's going on in them. That could be kind of cool, so you can see what sorts of discussions are happening in other parts of the country about eating out without having to read each community. I dunno who'd have the time to update it, but it'd be kinda neat. :) )

I just felt like making a community where anyone and everyone across the counry could come together and discuss dining out, regardless of where they live.
