This is just a fun little script that acts like a Pandora for food. Its implementation is simplistic. You choose a set of restaurants on Yelp that you like, and the script finds all reviewers that gave these restaurants 5 stars. You trust these reviewers because they share your awesome taste in food. The script then spits out all restaurants that these "trusted reviewers" also reviewed, and their rating for each review.

You would need a few additional lines of code to turn the scrapy output into a sorted list of restaurants. For example, the code below will sort restaurants by number of "trusted reviewers": \n import pandas \n reviews = pandas.readcsv('scrapyoutput.csv') fiveStarReviews = reviews[reviews['rating']==5] fiveStarReviews.restaurant.value_counts()

There are countless ways you can improve on this. One obvious one is you would want to normalize by total restaurant reviews. You would probably also want to pull in restaurant category information.

Happy food hunting!
