Evidence

I made dishlist, an iPhone app that is available in the App Store.
It is a restaurant recommendation app, like Yelp and Beli.
I've indexed every menu item at 109 places in Dogpatch, Potrero Hill, and Mission Bay (4,332 dishes and 5,285 drinks).
You can search for the types of things you like and you can even search by ingredient.
