So what is Hngry all about then? Despite missing vowels.
A chap called Richard (or should that be Rchrd) has set up an online database for people to list their favourite restaurants. The site is free to use and allows for sorting by rating and is fully taggable. It also boasts a 'friend feature' allowing you to share info and invite friends to eat at a particular location. And it keeps track of coupons for you too.
It is early days of course but having logged in I couldn't actually find any restaurants. I try totally random, various food types and price limits but nothing came up. (Richard you need to add a 'home' button to the find restaurant page). Now maybe I am using Hngy incorrectly but one of the uses of a site like this is to search a database by town; say you are visiting Des Moines and you would like to find eateries there, you would enter Des Moines and see what comes up. I would expect to be able to add a restaurant to your personal list, print out directions or follow a link to a google map or whatever. But you can't do this. It looks like any searches you do is restricted to those restaurants you personally enter and tag. A little disappointing that something lacking basic functionality and any restaurant listings has been released...
What would also be clever is to link automatically to blog entries - plenty of bloggers post reviews of restaurants and to find an excerpt under the restaurant list would be very cool. Oh, how about adding photos of the food or restaurant?
So Hngry; maybe useful but it has some way to go.
There is a blog associated with the site.

To add restaurants to your list, all you've got to do is log in, and click on Add restaurants automatically. If you've entered a default location when you signed up, you can then just type the name of any restaurant in your area, and Hngry will pull in its details and add it to your list.
Then, when you're hungry and can't decide what to eat, need to look up some restaurant info quickly, etc... you can log in and click View Restaurant list to see your complete list.
Try adding some restaurants to your list and then give it another shot, as Hngry really comes into its own when you actually have some restaurants on your list!
If you've got friends on Hngry, you can add any of their restaurants to your list with one click on the side of the restaurant info as well.

It's integrated with Google maps, so you can look for the highest-rated restaurants in a given ZIP code, say, and then read user reviews of them. Most Yelpers are in NY, SF, Chicago and Boston right now, but you can review any business, anywhere. A fun way to kill time, and you might discover a hidden gem.
