Please welcome the first of our knowledgeable and adventurous local foodie experts to help you in your quest for new dining experiences.

Michelle Syracuse is the author of a tasteful blog called Gather365. With the motto of "Go forth, Gather, Eat good food", she engagingly narrates her dining experiences in and around Oakland and San Francisco. Best way to describe Michelle's choices and reviews - down-to-earth, warm and thoughtful.
 
Mark Janda is the author of a thought-provoking blog called It Takes A Kitchen. Mark is a history teacher with a penchant for exploring new food and dining, so you can imagine the learning and adventure that comes from following his reviews around his hometown of Santa Cruz, the San Francisco Bay Area, and Europe.

p.s. A local expert foodie yourself? or know of one? Just let us know, we would love to promote you or your friend on our famous foodies page!


You heard right. 3 restaurant reviews + 1 creative short bio + 1 profile photo (see example below), and you are in! The most creative bio entry along with the most number of reviews submitted by April 21st will be awarded $250 towards a dinner at one of our many recommended restaurants in the San Francisco Bay Area! 


Here's what to do...

Sign up or go to the app from your desktop.

For the bio and photo, just go to the "Settings" page and click on "More about you!" to to add a photo and a short bio (six words or less!)

For the reviews, set the "Where" field to the appropriate city e.g. San Francisco and then search for your restaurant by name.

We will review all the entries that meet our criteria by April 21st and come back with a winner. So how about it? It's all pretty straight-forward, but here's the fine print if you need details.

That's it for now! Thank you for supporting LikeStream and keeping those reviews coming.
