FoodSpotting (link) is a website/phone app that focuses on dish recommendation above and beyond the typical restaurant review.  Around roughly 18-month, the company announced today that they have seen over 1 million mobile app downloads across all platforms (currently android, iOS, and windows 7).

In addition to making the announcement, the mobile app received a bit of a facelift with a stronger focus on social appeal and brand-friendliness; and, Read Write Web, a technology blog, has a more in depth write-up that covers the history of the company, some notes about their market saturation, and the competitive landscape for these food porn sites.
