What's 'American (traditional)'?

I'm more confused by American (new) I'm assuming traditional includes items like Meatloaf with mashed potatoes and gravy Fried chicken Steak Hamburgers and hotdogs Macaroni and cheese

The love londoners have for itslian cooking is only comparable to New York's. There's one in every corner haha

It looks like São Paulo belongs in “colorful” vs “highly skewed”?

And what does “highly efficient” mean?

There might be better terms for those metrics.

Skewed means the area is over-represented in a few categories and under-represented in others. Sao Paulo has a lot of restaurants but 75% are either Brazilian, Japanese, or Italian. And it has only 39 categories (roughly half of New York).

Efficient is the opposite. Bridgeport does not have a ton of restaurants, but it covers a lot of categories.

Yelp is mainly a US app. These comparisons are being made across the world. Very unlikely to be accurate.

The US penetration rate is 33%, compared to only 6% in UK and Germany. The 2022 figures I just read didn’t even mention Australia, but I know I’ve never used it.

Wanted to say the same. Yelp is pretty uncommon in Germany, for example, and far from being representative. I'm sure a city like Berlin would feature somewhere in this diagram if yelp were a good data source for an international comparison.

The general idea is cool, but the data source is too weak for a meaningful result outside the US.

A couple of corrections: Tex-Mex should really be along with Middle-American; Brazilian is its own thing, and I would place Bar-B-Que under American every day. Also, Chinese is a collection of widely different cuisines, and all are different from Japanese or Korean. Other than that - fascinating data and nice visualization.

The data is from Yelp not OP. BBQ not American is weird to me as well. Not sure what your clarification about Chinese is regarding, they are sorted differently and grouped geographically as east Asian just like French and Italian are European. Same with Brazilian

Well barbecue comes from some carribean natives originally, plus there is korean barbecue, south african braai, etc. it's certainly very popular in america, but a bit more widespread than cheese grits and rhubarb pie :)

I’d guess those would be classified more by their area of origin than “bbq”. Even tho you are right

ean5cj t1_iyrvy18 wrote

Agree, and I wasn't clear enough - OP did state that they used Yelp data, so the classification oddities are Yelp's.

Cousins which are present in just 1 country should be removed. Like the American lol
