EatBlue.com

EatBlue.com is a site operated by College Advertising Solutions, a subsidary company of Hungry Media.

It is the #1 restaurant guide service for the residents and students of the University of Michigan community. The easy-to-navigate site allows users to choose from delivery, take out, dine in and catering options all at low prices you won't find anywhere else. The site offers the most up to date information for local restaurant menus. Eatblue.com is the one stop site for student dining needs. Eatblue.com enables visitors to search by restaurant, by food category and even by current specials, and does not charge any fees.

The current Eatblue.com site was launched in the Spring of 2006 by two freshmen students at the University of Michigan, Matthew Lerner and Nick Farinella. After observing the frustration of students campus wide regarding a lack of organization and options with food ordering, the two brainstormed to figure out a way to remedy this problem. What resulted was an interactive, user friendly data base which includes menus, phone numbers, addresses, and hours of operations for Ann Arbor's favorite eateries.

Through hard work, extensive research, data composition, and a partnership with YNot Advertising, Matt and Nick were able to make their dream a reality. In 2002, YNot Advertising purchased certain assets of Ugrub.com, including the URL "Eatblue.com" from class of 2004 University of Michigan graduates Jake Cohen, Scott Meves and Adam Linkner, and Clint Wallace. With the launch of the current Eatblue site, students, faculty, and Ann Arbor residents breathed a collective sigh of relief as their eating woes were brought to an end.

Today the website is operated by College Advertising Solutions and managed locally by student managers.
