Work — Hungry But Not Stupid

Local food intelligence. No more gambling on lunch.

A pocket tool that uses your location, time, weather, and the anchors nearby to tell you where to actually eat — so you stop guessing, stop asking friends who are equally lost, and stop falling into tourist traps.

The problem

The hardest restaurant decision is rarely "what do I want to eat" — it's "where am I, what's open, what's worth it, and who can I trust to tell me." Reviews are gamed. Algorithmic recommendations optimize for the platform, not for you. Asking a local works only if you happen to know one. Most people end up at the wrong place because the right one was three streets away and they didn't know it existed.

The build

Hungry But Not Stupid takes the inputs that actually predict a good meal — your live location, the time of day, the weather, and the typed anchors around you (markets, transit, neighborhoods, what kind of district you're standing in) — and uses them to suggest the place a knowledgeable local would send you. The anchor layer comes from Bwendi, the same location intelligence that powers Equiterrain and the CamerDeals · ShayaShaya · NGDeals marketplace family.

It's deliberately small. There's no social graph, no profile to build, no review economy to game. You arrive, it answers, you eat.
