TAMPA, Fla. - eTradeWire -- Your favorite dish now reports its own price moves. Foodie Pundit has launched Dish Price Alerts: pick a dish in your city, and Foodie Pundit tracks its typical price every day. When that price moves 5 percent or more, up or down, an email lands in your inbox with the old price, the new price, and the size of the move.

The prices come from Foodie Pundit's own dish graph, built from restaurant menus, with every price graded by evidence before it counts. A dish's typical price is the median menu price across the restaurants serving it in your city. The graph holds more than 2.1 million dish listings from more than 1.8 million restaurants, and more than 1.2 million of those listings carry a menu price the alerts can track.

The numbers are real, and they are today's. In Seattle, the typical pad thai costs $15.95, the median across 13 priced menus. In Tampa, the typical Caesar salad costs $9.00, across 11 priced menus. Put a watch on either dish and its next 5 percent move, in either direction, is yours by email.

"Nobody re-reads the menu at the place they love every week, and no restaurant announces a quiet two-dollar jump," the Foodie Pundit newsroom desk said. "So the dish reports itself. When its price moves, the people who actually order it should be the first to know."
