Next time you’re hungry and on the run or want to impress a date with your culinary prowess, look to your phone. Browsing for food apps that fit your lifestyle in an endless list can seem like an eternity, especially when you’re hungry, but check out the Washington Post’s top ten for a distilled version of the best.

The comprehensive list covers it all, from recipes, restaurants and bios on your favorite culinary personality to specialty cocktails and how to choose the right fish.

Since most apps are for the iPhone, here’s a little something for Android users, too.

Revived Thai? Boutique doughnuts? Bloody everything? The James Beard Foundation has taken to task the painstakingly long process of researching food trends, carefully digesting them all, and predicting what’s ahead for 2012.

Koch went as far as setting up international “Beer vs. Wine” events to show beer’s superiority over wine for food. Oliver took a more subtle approach and wrote “The Brewmasters Table,” which can be considered “the definitive book on pairing beer and food.”
