Rankings

The Austin American-Statesman profiles Austin-based start-up Top5Foods.com, which ranks restaurants in a given city by popularity. Based "purely on user votes" from "foodies" who are "fiercely loyal," the site won't surprise locals (top sushi: Uchi; top barbecue: Franklin; top bistro: Barley Swine) but founder Alex Zwernemann says his site can help "travelers who want to get a local's perspective when visiting a city."
