A friend of mine had a technically paid* gig reviewing restaurants for a while, and she definitely used Chowhound discussions to pre-screen places and figure out which were worth reviewing. (Her editor wanted reviews of places that could be favorably recommended.) So this actually works. Someone once sent in a fan-comic to the World of Warcraft site citing the same principle.

*- By technically paid, we mean that there wasn't an expense account and the actual pay wasn't enough to cover the actual cost of eating out to write the reviews. But hey, getting one's work out there is a good thing, I've got fingers crossed for her finding work elsewhere down the line.
