Great feature: the yelp link in each entry. I think that Doner Kebab House is just a duplicate of Donair Kebab House. Kathy's Corner seems to mostly be rotisserie chicken (not sandwiches) judging by yelp. Beware: sessions time out. I voted but the result was ignored. I had the screen up for a few hours but I didn't know that this was a problem. The left column is called "Your choices" but it actually lists the restaurants you haven't chosen. Korean Grill House seems to be cooked by the customer, at the table. One choice is "all you can eat". As much fun as that is, I'm not sure that's great for finishing on time or being awake in the meeting (I admit I'm not good at that). This is fun (I haven't finished). I never realized that it was so hard to rank things versus just vote for one. Algorithmically, selecting is O(n) but ranking is O(n log n). But that assumes that comparing is O(1); it seems not to be a bit worse.

So emphasis on "choices" as in the choices you have to pick from, rather than emphasis on "your" as in the choices you have made.
