Think of this as a "Food Joint Of The Month" contest. Except here, a jury didn't get to choose who gets what. This time, we allowed all the 164,118 people living in Kalamazoo to be jurors by picking up various signals they created, including reviews, online & offline sentiment metrics, citations, Google search result rankings, links between websites, brand mentions, social media activity, and more.

Essentially, this competition focuses on the love of food, combined with the passion for cooking and sharing culinary creations with others. We discovered and reviewed all 97 food places in Kalamazoo, then shortlisted 30 (restaurants, diners, cafeterias, drive-thrus, food trucks, fast foods, etc.). Finally, we ranked them based on their food quality, service, atmosphere, value for money, customer feedback, and overall impression.
