Sorry, I really don't want this, or anything like it. See the following.

Neither. We're trying to be a guide for an entire city. Food and drink are
only part of our scope, although they currently make up the majority of what
we have. If we were a dedicated restaurants guide, then we'd have listings
Yellow Pages style. As far as I'm concerned, the ethos of Grubstreet has
always been that we write about what we know, which is one of the things
making it special.

Incidentally, I'm starting to regret picking the name "Grubstreet", because
people are starting to think it's just about grub.
