Mike, its pretty sad that you had to close this down. I work at Cucumbertown, http://cucumbertown.com/ that’s pretty close to what you do but not exact. We don’t enter the search vertical but focus just on building this as a replacement for food bloggers. Jef Miller (Punchfork acquisition to Pinterest) wrote something very similar for Pinterest http://techcrunch.com/2014/01/21/courtesy-of-punchfork-acqui... though not exact.

From my learning: Build a solid BD team that can focus on taking your core value proposition to the masses. As a founder create the story. The market is flooded with recipe related products that exist since 1995. Unrelated but I wrote the first V of Cucumbertown in C#. Then had to port to Python.

I hope you don’t lose the enthusiasm to continue keeping this open sourced.
