Learn how to eat like a local in U.S. cities (AP)

From The Associated Press via USA Today:

BRENTWOOD, Tenn. (AP) — An updated look at Nashville's restaurant scene is just out from Where the Locals Eat, a series of dining guides.

The books look at restaurants by neighborhood, price range and category, which, depending on the city, ranges to everything from Asian Fusion to American Traditional to Brunch, Cafe, Diner, Dumplings, Steak House, Tex-Mex, Wine Bar and even Food Cart. The listings are based on ratings from readers whom the publisher calls "certified foodies," and supplemented by input from the series' writers and researchers.

You can also get recommendations for many other top U.S. metro areas at the WhereTheLocalsEat.com or in the series' national guide, published in 2007, Where the Locals Eat: The 100 Best Restaurants in the Top 50 Cities. An iPhone application is available as well, called LocalEats, for 99 cents.
