Food boards, review sites, and the like have provided so much more information for diners.

They have definitely raised the bar for both establishments and patrons. I've learned so much from this board about all things food and drink that I never would have had.

I can look at reviews and judge the value of the review myself.

Agree. I believe reviewers (and of course especially this board) more than a restaurant's website. At least there is the possibility of objectivity.

People did not know chefs names outside of a handful

It's gone from "why do I care who cooks the food?" to "Oooh I got to meet the chef!"
