Music genome project for food. There should be a restaurant genome project where restaraunts and food types are linked in a way similar to how the music genome projects works. That data should be available through an API, which others can incorporate in to their foodie apps.
Speaking of foodie apps, I travel a lot, and while apps like AroundMe are great, they have limited utility when I'm in central Georgia, driving south, and want to know what's along the way. Do I stop now, or do I keep driving to find something better than Chick-fil-a? What I'd really like is an app that knows my route, and the time of day, and recommends restaurants based on where I'll be at lunch/dinner time (give or take an hour).
I'd put considerable effort in to providing feedback to an app that provides that level of utility, even at the expense of loss of privacy. I don't really care if an app knows my dining preferences. I have nothing to lose and a lot to gain.
To piggy back off the restaurant genome project idea, it would be great if food allergies and restrictions were incorporated as well. My girlfriend is gluten free so we don't often eat out (or explore) because most restaurants can't accommodate her needs.
