MIAMI (Hoodline) – Food trends come and go. So how can you tell which tastes are trending right now?
We took a data-driven look at the question and used Yelp to analyze which restaurants were on everyone’s lips this month.
To find out who made the list, we looked at St John businesses by category on Yelp and counted the number of reviews they received. Instead of just comparing them based on the number of reviews, we calculated a percentage increase in reviews over the past month and tracked companies that have continuously increased their review volume to identify statistically significant outliers compared to past performance.
