Data Partnership Results and Methodology:
With this expanded partnership that now encompasses more than 57,000 restaurants across the U.S., Foursquare and Grubhub combined their data to help diners uncover locally loved dishes and explore the best restaurants.

• Foursquare's data analysts found the restaurants with the highest affinity score and rating for the dishes identified by Grubhub in their respective cities. These venues had a combination of the highest rating and most positive mentions of these tastes in Foursquare City Guide tips and Foursquare Swarm shouts.
