It's a little disappointing that the author didn't go into more detail on arguably the most interesting part: the modeling that they explored. It would be really cool to query Yelp's api to gather more data to factor into the model for each restaurant. Unfortunately, Yelp's api always seemed severely limited to me, it's a trove of rich data that they've kept locked down. Their api only allows you to gather 3 reviews on each business [1] and there's no way to query for data about a user.
