One of the best categories of food apps is the GPS app - push a button, find a bar/restaurant/deal nearby. Whether your a tourist in a new city or a resident looking for a quick bite, these apps make it easy for you to find a meal on the go or a new favorite spot. Hamburger America GPS, the companion app to George Motz's book and film of the same name, will guide you through America's hamburger classics.

10With: George Motz & the Chicago Food Film Festival
When one things "food + film" it generally runs the gamut from popcorn to Junior Mints. In 2007, author and documentary filmmaker George Motz has been holding a festival combining food, film, taste, sight, sound, smell and touch in New York - and now he's bringing that same food/film/eat/drink/watch construct to Chicago with this weekend's Chicago Food Film Festival.

From today's Tribune, Chris Borelli does a fine job interviewing George Motz, the man behind the film "Hamburger America" and its new companion book listing the top 100 burgers in the country. Like most on the East Coast, Motz thinks that Chicago is too "hot dog crazy", not to mention being hung up on "that stupid pizza thing," to have a hamburger identity.
