No Reservations with Anthony Bourdain has released a FaceBook App. The features are actually cool, much like Bourdain, our favorite smoking, drinking, cursing chef, except there's slightly less, um, smoking, drinking, and cursing. Users are able to upload their own restaurant reviews, using text, pictures, or videos, and your review pops up on a map with everyone else who's submitted a review. Then Bourdain will select his favorite reviews and grant someone a prize trip to New York City. Top reviews will be entered into a drawing for No Reservation prize packs.
All this content could help Bourdain himself find new places to visit on his own travels, or offer a layman’s account of a location Bourdain has reviewed on his show. But all market research aside, Bourdain will also be using the “No Reservations” app to promote contests, such as he foodie’s dream getaway to New York City. Bourdain himself will be had-selecting the winners based on his affinity towards a top user’s review.
It's gotta be worth the effort, right? Hey, if we win, can he get us into Momofuku Ko?
