Restaurant reservations in San Francisco suddenly seem like a very hot commodity, which is puzzling to begin with, but now the plot thickens. Last week it was TablePronto in the spotlight, now comes word of TableXchange, the self-described OGs in the reso scalping game who claim TablePronto cold jacked their shit while they perfected their system in New York. Now TableXchange is setting up shop in San Francisco, and they sound pissed. From Eater SF:
"... Antoine [Powell of Tablepronto] completely hacked our site and started a shoddy version of TableXchange ..."
Now c'mon, there's no reason San Francisco can't make room for two restaurant reservation scalping services, assuming people will actually pay $25 for something that's, you know, free.

We've all been there: the questionable salad dressing, the leftover, room-temperature pork, the scary tuna sandwich. Should you eat it? Probably not, but for all the close calls, fortunately there's a place to go online for answers -- and if not answers, then at least a lot of passionate opinions. Thankfully, Macbebekin rounded up all the most hilarious and misguided 'Am I gunna die if I eat this?' questions posed on Ask Metafilter, here and here.
