The journey started with some casual reviews for the places and businesses which were not behaving well with customers. Little did I know then that what was about to follow was a beautiful journey.
I have always been a big fan of Google from my early school days because of its advanced search engine. When I got to know about the option of review at Google, I just thought of utilizing it in order to bring the truth to the world. After a few months, I received mail from Google, “Your reviews are making difference”. The mail detailed on how many people had seen my pictures and read my review. That was the point I decided that I will be giving regular reviews of places.
I have been enjoying food all my life. If you are looking for a foodie in the Google Local Guide Community, I am the one. I enjoy trying different delicacies. I enjoy knowing about the dishes local to a particular place. I enjoy knowing about the authentic taste of a particular dish. I enjoy knowing about the ingredients of a dish, I enjoy knowing about the preparation methods of any dish. I enjoy knowing about the origin of any delicacy. This is the reason I roam around reviewing different food joints to find the best in any category.
Food helps people sit and connect. I find that Local Guides is a community which can connect people with just not any random food joint but a food place specific to the need of the person searching. If they are looking for the most authentic taste or if they are looking for something innovative or if they are looking for the best street food (like the one in below picture), or anything else, they can find it here. While I enjoy different things in and around food as I mentioned in previous paragraphs, the power of Google Maps to locate every spot on the world helps connecting Googlers with their specific results.
For if the above was not enough, Google Maps is even providing me with the power to edit the map and add any hidden place. This helps me search and add any street shop which usually gets hidden in the lights of the big restaurants. This way the little businesses get some popularity and consumers get a cheap innovative place to eat.
Local Guides thus helps me connect the people who are in search of food joints with specific characteristics with the required location on the map.
