How does my social network play into recommendations. I often find myself asking friends with similar tastes for suggestions as random reviews online are not trustworthy, I don't think the crowd average informs me much plus food bloggers who review restuarants seem to be too out there for me. How does one personalize these reccos?

Love this and we've been thinking about it a lot. I'd say that most UGC platform ratings fall into the base rate fallacy and there is a lot more information available that could be leveraged for recommendations. A very indicative question of the direction we're looking to go is "Will I like this place given that people I trust recommend it?"
