Not "frick", not "fudge" not merely an "eff" - this is the real muck. That's how WTFSIGTE (Where the Fuck should I go to Eat?) starts.

It's a website and also an app for iPhone and Android. You enter your location and it points you to the closest, coolest restaurant. Sort of.

"Why don't you fucking go to Full Stop Cafe?" it asks after I entered "Rosebank" and it showed a map.

It's the rudest, most direct website and app you'll see. And it is awesome. As easy to use as asking a sailor for directions.

It has a small tab at the bottom of the page that you can click if you are offended. If you do, then the app lets rip on you with some really ugly words. But there is a downside. It might direct you to a place that doesn't exist any more.

It suggested I go to Bulldogs in Rosebank. The only place where you see that bar these days is on re-runs of Egoli.
