Pick-a-Meal is an online “Random Food Type and Restaurant Selector”. You choose multiple Food Types or Restaurants from a list that you create, and it will randomly pick one for you.<\/p>\n

I (re)built Pick-a-Meal to continue learning more about Laravel. My older, downloadable, version was done in very old school PHP(4). The new online version now allows anyone to setup their own Food Type and Restaurant lists.<\/p>\n

I integrated Pick-a-Meal with my last project, Keep Track!, which allowed me to learn more about routing and sharing resources. The older version of the program was also in dire need of an update, so provided an excellent opportunity to learn and upgrade at the same time.<\/p>\n
