good start.
i'm not sure about using two different ideas in one logo (the fork AND a chef's hat). Right now they're competing, and both are suffering.
I agree with Miro about tweaking the hat.
The fork is just lost, and like Nate said, makes it look like food over.
I'd suggest ditching the hat, and adding a knife. Use the d to make the fork, and the L to make the knife.
It might also help to add a simply tagline of "restaurant" beneath food lover.

Thanks Sean!!
