Edible Search – Google for restaurant menus

2 points by ishbaid ↗ HN
We all know people with food allergies, but I don't think all of us truly understand how difficult it is for them to eat out.

About 1 in 13 children have some sort of food allergy. And about 30% of those people have multiple food allergies.

So what if you're with one of those people and you're trying to go eat out? Forget it. Too hard.

At least that's how it's been for the past few decades. Today, we're excited to launch Edible Search: An aggregation of health, diet, and allergy information across all the top chains in America.

With a simple search, Edible Search will show anyone a food allergy or dietary restriction EXACTLY what they can eat. No more playing 20 questions with the cashier. No more interrogating the chef. Not more looking at PDFs.

Simply, Edible Search (http://www.edible-search.com/).

Would love to hear what you all think. Do you know someone with food allergies? Would this help them out?

Very cool, I have been working on something very similar https://bestfoodnearme.com I built it for allergies and other aspects I could not easily find. It shows more of a subset of what people subjectively think is the best dish.
Whoa. Yeah pretty similar. Great work!
