Do you have a sixth sense?  How do you experience it?

I am a food psychic. I can look at any restaurant and tell you if it's good or not. What's more, you can set me down in any unfamiliar neighborhod, anywhere, and I can find a good restaurant. I have been known to tow people for three or four blocks because "I know there's a good place to eat down this way..." even if I've never been there before, and I'm always right.

It's a very handy talent, especially while traveling, but it has its drawbacks. I can also tell when a place is not good, and I won't eat there if my food psychic sense tell me not to. Unfortunately, there are wide stretches of territory where there is nothing  good to eat, and my pickiness has been known to annoy traveling companions. On the other hand, it's kind of satisfying when traveling down the interstate, and my companions are grumbling because they're hungry and I won't stop because "there's nothing good there anyway," and I suddenly say, "Oh, oh, take this exit!" and guide them to that cute little diner with the great pie, or the unexpectedly fantastic Chinese takeout place, or the Mexican place where nobody speaks English but the food is perfect.

I'm a food psychic. It's what I do.
