Flavorize

Flavorize recommends dishes that you'll love based on your tastes. Think of us as Pandora for food.After signing up for free, you'll review a few dishes, noting taste attributes such as sweet, crunchy, chewy, fried, dietary restrictions, etc. In as little as five reviews, you'll have your unique Flavorize Taste Profile. Then, when you're craving something sweet and salty while out and about in, say, The East Village, your Flavorize mobile app will recommend that you'll love the fried chicken and waffles at 6th Street Kitchen. It'll even provide a SmarterMenu that will show you exactly what's good at 6th Street Kitchen according to your taste. How does Flavorize know? We calculate dish compatibility based on your Flavorize dish reviews of other dishes from other restaurants. You loved the glazed ribs (sweet) at Agozar and Belgian frites (salty and crunchy) at Pommes Frites? Flavorize recommends chicken and waffles - and the best place to get it near you.
