Santa Monica based West LA Takeaway has just launched their first app for the iPhone (http://bit.ly/eatinla), looking to redefine the way we search for restaurants.  Food is a sensorial experience, and although an app can't give you the taste or smell of the food, it can deliver great images.  Find restaurants around you either by distance, cuisine, name, menu item, and more.  West LA Takeaway is a user powered app, if your favorite restaurant is not listed in the app, you can add it.  If your favorite dish isn't there, once again, you can add it yourself. 

Currently the app is only for discovery, posting your content, and connecting you directly with the restaurant, however fully integrated interactive ordering and one click payments for takeout and delivery will be available in December.
