The following quotes are from the
What internet links are there for list of restaurants in any given US city? thread:

So, a lot of restaurant information is going to be found in the destination forums, such as London, New York City, Paris, San Francisco, etc. Some of it will be in the Reviews forum. Some of it will be in the idine/Rewards Network forum. Some of it will be in this forum. And some of it will be in the Hotels forums. In other words, it is scattered all over FlyerTalk. Maybe someone could find a way to better organize it, or at least, put together and maintain a links sticky pointing to various places with this info?

It has been awhile since I've done one of my "post a restaurant and be entered into a SWU giveaway" contests but your post reminds me of why I don't bother anymore.
Perhaps that may be because there have not been Senior Moderators officially appointed on FlyerTalk — until recently.
Senior Moderators have moderator access to all forums that do not have moderators assigned to them, so we can do things to assist FlyerTalk members that could not be done in the past.
Speaking for myself, I will make an offer: anyone who wants to assist me on this project, please send me your suggestions of how you believe this information should be organized, and I will do my best to work with you. I cannot do it all myself, so I will need commitment from those of you who volunteer to assist me. This will be an enormous project that will take time, so if we do embark on this, please bear with me.
After the information is finally organized, any additional threads thereafter that are similar in nature will be merged with threads that already exist.
Senior Moderators have no “jurisdiction” over the
FlyerTalk Reviews area, but
restaurant reviews do exist in this area and can be organized in a number of different ways. In fact, individual restaurant reviews, such as
this one for the Metropolitan Grill in Seattle, can be linked as well.

It is only my pleasure,

Now this one response is a compelling reason to organize the information in a manner that is easy to find and convenient for as many FlyerTalk members as possible. There must be more FlyerTalk members who feel the same way as
travelmad478.
After all, everyone benefits if the information is properly organized.
Do we have a deal?
