Buster Benson of one-man company Enjoymentland launched his iPhone app Locavore 1.0 earlier this year and has already come out with a second version. In his own words, Locavore 1.0 "told you what’s in season, what’s coming into season soon, and where nearby farmers' markets are located,” while 2.0 “does all of that and also lets you be social about it.” As the app loads, the screen reads, “now rolling up to the market,” which I found pretty cute. The screen then fills with a more or less accurate list of fruits and veggies in season, accompanied by confusing but pretty rainbow-colored pie chart symbols. Then there's the tab that “lets you be social about it,” where you can read...

Just in time for spring, Locavore is a new iPhone application that uses built in GPS and location awareness to show you real-time information about the nearest farmers' markets, what's in season locally, and what's coming in season soon. What other food-related iPhone apps do you use regularly? [via Matt Haughey]...

Do you ever have a hankering for a nice, moist, vanilla cupcake with blue frosting and chocolate hearts on it? Or maybe a green tea flavored one with butter cream and sprinkles? Well, too bad you're stuck at work or tied down by one of those crazy cupcakeless diet fads. But wait, yet another iPhone app comes to the rescue. iCupcake is a new, 99¢ time-waster. It's pretty useless, sure, but you might be able to brighten someone's day by sending your sweet creation to them. If only it transported the real thing, though. [via Cupcakes Take the Cake]...

Sushi Time is a new iPhone app meant to demystify potentially scary sushi terms. For example, you enter “fugu," swipe the screen, and there's a photo of what resembles yellow-tail, but wait. It's potentially toxic, says the magic phone. Phew, good thing you didn't order that craziness.

The guides, which include restaurant and nightlife info plus the requisite transit maps to seek out serious eats, are stored completely on the iPhone. And that's handy for traveling internationally, what with those insanely pricey data charges. They're $9.99 each, available through the iTunes App Store. [via MacRumors]...

Like the iPhone's lightsaber application, iSaber, the Urbanspoon service only works after a good shake. Instead of making whooshing noises to recreate the Jedi knight experience, this feature supplies restaurant suggestions by price, cuisine, and neighborhood. Urbanspoon accesses the phone's internal navigation system to find nearby options, but as New York Times critic Frank Bruni warns, you could be "shaking your way to carpal tunnel syndrome before it pops up." He concludes that Urbanspoon is a restaurant hunt's beginning, not end, since the service doesn't properly account for proximity, already sold-out bookings, or a restaurant's deliciousness seniority. Again, the Magic 8-Ball shake makes up for most inconvenience. After the jump, watch an informational video on Urbanspoon, free to new...

In anticipation of Philly-area geeks showing some brotherly love by camping out for the new iPhone 3G, we asked our Philadelphia correspondent Joy Manning for some restaurant recommendations near the King of Prussia Apple Store. View Larger Map Most Philadelphians stock up on Apple tech toys at the enormous King of Prussia mall since there's no store downtown. Healthy food is scarce here, like at any food court, but Legal Sea Foods offers a take-out stand with clam chowder available in a still-flavorful “lite” version. Not concerned about staying fit for your wait? Get the lobster roll—the tastiest sandwich at the mall. 690 West Dekalb Pike, King of Prussia PA 19406 (map) Sweet freaks know Rita’s Water Ice is the...
