Opinionated About Dining Survey

The second Opinionated About Dining survey is now live. If you would like to participate, go to Opinionated About Dining Survey and enter your details into the database and tomorrow morning you will receive an email with a pre-approval code. The survey contains close to 2,400 fine dining establishments in North America and Europe, including 41 restaurants in the Chicago area. I've included a list of the restaurants below:

Alinea
Ambria
Arun's
Avenues
Blackbird
Butter
Carlos
Charlie Trotter's
Copperblue
Courtright's
Crofton on Wells
Everest
Gabriel's
Heat
Japonais

Le Français
Le Titi de Paris

Pane Caldo
Pump Room, The
Ritz-Carlton Dining Room
Seasons
Spiaggia
Schwa
Shanghai Terrace
Signature Room
Spring
Tallgrass
Topolobampo

Participating in the survey is simple. You are presented with interactive maps of North America and Europe and you can click on any region where you have dining experience and rate the restaurants in that region which are listed by various sub-categories. 175 people participated in our last survey. The participants ranged from people who were able to rate as many as 250 restaurants to those who were only able to rate a handful. EVERYONE'S RATINGS ARE FACTORED INTO THE RESULTS REGARDLESS OF HOW MANY RESTAURANTS THEY ARE ABLE TO RATE.

Since July 1st when I first started sending out the current results via a .pdf download, 350 additional people have expressed interest in participating in the upcoming survey. If you haven't already signed up and you would like to participate, go to the URL listed earlier in this post and enter your details. I plan to publish a document this fall titled, "Opinionated About Dining, 100 Most Recommended Restaurants in North America and Europe."


Thanks for your time and I hope you decide to take part in helping us create what I hope will become the best guide to dining
available on the marketplace.

Silly me. I thought that's what LTH Forum was for.

For the purpose of clarification, LTH is a discussion forum. Zagat and Michelin are dining guides.

So data collection has been great. Since opening this phase of the survey we have collected over 2000 ratings which is ahead of where we were last time at this point into the survey. While data in the Chicago area is coming in at a steady pace , the following cities/locations could use a bit of help. If you can add anything to the database for the restaurants in these locations that would be great;

1. Portland/Kennebunkport, Maine
2. Philadelphia, PA
3. The South including Atlanta, Charleston, Birmingham
4. Las Vegas, NV
5. Seattle. WA
