Gojee, a design-driven recipe sharing website which has grown its user to over half a million, is today debuting mobile apps for iPhone, iPad and Android devices.

Food Network is continuing its push into mobile media, this time with a new restaurant finder app called On the Road. The app isn’t Yelp or Urbanspoon. It draws its content and recommendation solely from FN’s TV programming, and that’s the way Food Network likes it.
