The Feeding America website declares, “One in eight Americans is fighting hunger, and we need your help to join us in the fight to end this national struggle.” We are going to respond to this call to action. Our goal is to give 10,000 meals to Feeding America by Dec 24th and this is how we plan to do it: For every recommendation you give us through Twitter, we will donate one meal to Feeding America.

As you know, our goal is to promote locally-owned restaurants recommended by people who love them. With this in mind, we want to make recommending locally-owned restaurants easy for you. There are a couple of ways to recommend a restaurant.
To recommend a locally-owned restaurant on Twitter simply tweet the name, city (and neighborhood if appropriate), state, & add: #EatIndie
It’s that simple. We’ll find all tweets with #EatIndie in them and do the hard work of entering them into our database.
If you’re not on Twitter, simply visit http://getondining.com/suggest to recommend an independent restaurant. Be sure to include the name, city (and neighborhood if appropriate), & state.
We look forward to hearing about your favorite spots!
One thing we want to do with Get on Dining is to make sure it’s aesthetically pleasing. So many websites, including restaurant directory sites, end up cluttered and confusing. We’ve really tried to focus on making Get on Dining clean, simple, straightforward, and beautiful to look at.
One thing we’re working on is adding pictures to each location. The goal is to eventually have an picture for each spot, but for now we’re working through all the states and major cities. Of course, Washington is a bit more… decorated… as half the team lives near Seattle! We’ve tried to capture the feel of each state. We’re open to feedback too, so if you think your state or city is misrepresented (or not represented at all!) give us a holler and we’ll do our best to fix it. Get on Dining is made by and for people like you!
Check it out, what do you think?
A few states: Idaho, Kansas, Louisiana, Hawaii, Georgia.
And a few cities: Dallas, Seattle, Baltimore, Boston, Chicago.
We’ve still got a long way to go, but it’s a work in progress! As always, tell us about your favorite independent restaurant & we’ll get it in our directory. Thanks for supporting independent restaurants.
Eat Indie,
Rosemary
Get on Dining is a brand new site aimed at collecting restaurant recommendations from people who eat locally (we like to say “eat indie”) and promoting those restaurants. We are picky though. We only want to promote locally-owned restaurants that serve great food (we take your word for it) at affordable prices (under $30+/- per plate).
