### Description
This app helps indecisive foodies discover new places to eat at without having to pick one location themselves.

### App Evaluation 
Food/Restaurants
Mobile App
##### Story 
My boyfriend and I are huge foodies and whenever we want to eat out he asks the dreaded question: "Where do you want to eat?". My palms start sweating and my heart beats out of my chest as I answer with a "I dont know". We cycle through the dozens of restaurants in the area and they all look good, we look around for 30 minutes before growing hungrier and more impatient and just decide to go to the same place as always just to get food in our stomachs. Unlike yelp, this app would give you ONE selection. Along with this random selection, you could also save all of the random picks you actually visited and rate it right on the app to grow your restaurant list.
