Hi Tom,
I just tried out Around Me here for my town in Canada. I get all the restaurants, but none of them had a menu button not even the 2 which had one in the All Menus app. I guess it really shows how inconsistent this still is. I do, however, think Todd is on the right track by using Locu.com as they also supply their information to services and apps like Trip Advisor, Open Table and so on.

I did that for a local restaurant last night and it worked like a champ.

I live in a small town in British Columbia, Canada and while the app lists a dozen or so restaurants including Boston Pizza, McDonald's, Subway, Tim Horton's and Dairy Queen all of which are large chains, none of these have a menu button. McDonald's is listed 3 times, Subway twice and neither listing has it. I only found 2 quite small places that have a menu button and then what is actually listed is not much and in some cases not very descriptive and also without prices. I think Todd has an awesome idea with this app and I could see how this app could be fantastic, but of course the app could be the best app in the world, but if the content is missing or lacking detail and accuracy it still won't be too useful. I'll certainly continue to check out any updates and maybe try to encourage a couple of restaurant owner's to submit their menus to Locu.com and see how it goes. Not sure, if Todd is reading this, what could be done about the duplicate listings, but I assume this is a Locu.com issue.

Hopefully, the UI command to clear the rest of the screen when you select a food category or specific restaurant will be resolved. For others who have struggled with this app, when you select a category or restaurant, you then need to flick left to find the menu button and select it. I haven't been to Panera Bread in awhile, but that was a chain which showed up with different categories under their menu. I'm kind of surprised that there were only two items under breakfast favorites, but the other categories like bagels and spreads, breads, and I think it was eggs and kiche seemed to have more items.
