    Will it tell me what place has the best spaghetti and beans? If not, please consider adding such a category. I, and other lovers of spaghetti and beans, would be thankful. (Perhaps a sortable column for both ‘Serves Spaghetti’ and ‘Serves Beans’.)

    Beautiful! Now if only I could get this to work on my shuffle. I don’t enjoy carrying around that huge brick of an iPod.

    Peace. Lee
