I've always got a coffee/lunch/dinner date with someone and absolutely no preference as to where we meet. I need a Random Number Generator for food. Perhaps it could pull from the Yelp API. In a perfect world you can narrow your search by proximity to an address, keywords (lunch, Chinese), and open hours.

Dine-O-Matic, Wheel of Lunch, and A Place Between Us all exist, but suck, because they appear to draw from the same 10 restaurants.

Satyen - What would the assignments be? I don't trust paying someone to rate a restaurant X stars, and we already have the contact information (presumably up-to-date) from Yelp or Menuism.

This would be the most amazing hack ever. Seriously. Can I vote 10x?

You can use Yahoo Pipes:

But it's clunky. Improving on this would rock.

I couldn't care less if the restaurant is new. I don't even really care if it's good. I just don't want to have to think about it.

When coordinating with someone, I always send them three options. I'd like to click a button three times and get those three options, then they can choose the ultimate place.

For nights at home when Damon and I can't decide what to eat, we could click until something random appeared that interested us both.

For a six-hour scope, this needs to be drop-dead simple.

Only if it's a vasectomy counter.

I agree that the visualization of the flipping coin could make for a cool widget, but I wonder if we have animation talent.

I thought Chris Pirillo was in the final stages of, or had already released, this project.

Since he's in the Seattle area and a big open source proponent, maybe there's a part of the project he's looking for help with.
