Chefs Feed app launches in Philly

Food-fixated iPhone users now have a new hyperlocal toy to play with — Chefs Feed, a "mobile app cooked up with credibility" that takes restaurant and dish recommendations from chefs in major U.S. cities and places them in your touchscreen-savvy fingers. (Droid and BlackBerry versions are in the works.) The Philadelphia version, curated by Meal Ticket's own Adam Erace, launched the other day and is now available for free download. Erace surveyed 25 local chefs/professional food-type people, coaxing their five favorite Philadelphia restaurant dishes out of them, along with reasons why they picked them; each chef's picks are set up in a quickly browseable format (see above), complete with restaurant contact info, a quick link to a Google Map and so forth.

Right now, featured Philly chefs include Jonathan Adams, Pierre Calmels, Jennifer Carroll, Jose Garces, Georges Perrier, Mitch Prensky, Kevin Sbraga, John Taus, Marcie Turney, Marc Vetri, Peter Woolsey and others. Fifty more are coming, says Erace.

    Cool idea but why can't you read the feeds on their website?
