I was hoping upon seeing the title that it would select restaurants from Google Maps near your location and choose one at random. That would actually be a really good idea.
Heh, this is fun, good job on shipping.
It seems like implementing a lunch picking app is a right of passage for most startups. Is there a compiled list of start-ups and their own implementation of a lunch picking apps?

I have seen lunch picking apps out there, created by developers. Lots of them were backend centric or filled with ads or using flash.
List of Lunch Picker Apps I've found:
- http://wheelof.com/lunch/ ( Flash)
- https://github.com/darrenmce/lunch-picker Have to edit lunches in code.
- http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/lunch-picker/6e7... App for windows phone
Initially, it seemed like a good idea to get closest lunch locations based on location or yelp reviews/rations, but issue is fetching yelp results was taking too long.
From personal experience, most of the time when you want to decide where to go for lunch, you already have a few places in mind that fit your budget and style. You just don't know where to go again and want to outsource the decision to a tool.
