Four days post-Turkey Day, and I still feel full--yet I couldn't help taking a gander at foodtube.net. It's exactly what it sounds like: a YouTube knock-off for foodies. Every uploaded video--most embedded from other video sharing sites, including YouTube--features food, glorious food.
Naturally, it's a got a social network component as well, so sharing your vid-captured recipes is a breeze, once you 'friend' some folks. Right now, however, there only appears to be about 62 members.
The proprietors have embedded all they can find, such as video reviews of restaurants--I'd recommend my colleagues in NYC visit Soto on Sixth Avenue, if they're into sushi, just based on the well-done review I watched. Multi-cultural meals and how to prepare them are a big selling point, in fact. Where else could a white-bread guy like myself go to find a video on creating the ice cream-esque Indian dessert called kulfi? The site's top page breaks down video searches by a food's ethnicity/origin as well as by type (vegetarian, BBQ, pizza, and cocktail--all the major food groups).
I'm off to watch someone show me what to do with leftover fowl that does not involve two piece of bread and mayonnaise.
