MSG150: For All Your Chinese Food-Eating Needs in Seattle
Even though I don't live in Seattle, I'm hooked on MSG150, a blog that aims to review every restaurant in Seattle's International District (Chinatown) with freakishly precise data (such as quality of chopsticks, length of waiting time for food, and fortunes received from post-meal fortune cookies), excessive photos, and humorous commentary. If all this information is too much for you, you can skim reviews just by looking at the number of chopsticks awarded to each restaurant from a scale of 1 ("dog food") to 5 ("great!"). The world needs more obsessively comprehensive food blogs like this one.

I love msg150! I'm in Seattle and work near the International District (full disclosure: I actually know the guys behind msg150, although I have not lunched with them on an official blog outing). The meticulousness, with which they document their trip around the DLZ (designated lunch zone), has resulted in some otherwise hidden gems surfacing as lunch options. No one else comes close to the coverage of the ID in Seattle. I don't always agree with their final overall ratings of a particular place, but with reviews from three to 11 (or more) lunchers it's easy to understand a variety of perspectives. The blog is funny, honest, and thorough.

it's a good idea, but needs better execution. the reviews are incredibly bland & i'm sorry, if you're going to lots of chinese restaurants, you have to order more than chicken or beef with broccoli.
