Chowhound.com is a message board organized by region for, as its slogan goes "those who live to eat." The Baltimore/DC page is particularly good for information on places that aren't the big restaurants, which get lots of publicity anyway.

 People ask questions or express opinions and then others post in response. Recent topics included "baltimore special lunch" posted by foster and "Red Square in Baltimore" by sweetpotater. (The first has gotten four responses and the second five so far.)

Chowhound.com is also good if you're going to an area you don't know about and don't want to eat just at places listed in Zagat.

My biggest beef with it, not surprisingly, is that I think enough is going on in the Baltimore/Annapolis area restaurant-wise that we deserve a board all to ourselves, apart from DC.

I haven't found any other negatives about it. Have you?
