Mega Meta List 6.0

Ok here are all the raw data.  Yelp ratings can change any time.  Eater changes quarterly, and I've been keeping a running tab since Oct 2013.  Others thankfully only change yearly!

The first four lists (Gold, LA Magazine, Zagat, Gayot) contribute a maximum of 3 points to the score depending on the ranking or rating.  Appearing on the LA Weekly list contributes 1.5 points since it is neither a ranking nor a rating.  Appearing on Eater contributes 1 point and only acts to qualify restaurants if they also appear on another list.  Not being on a list will also result in 1 point being added to the score, to mitigate the effect of trendy restaurants showing up on lists (particularly Eater) to the exclusion of higher quality restaurants. A combined list of all Eater restaurants since October 2013 is compiled since the list changes quarterly.

The Yelp! rating, normalized to a maximum of 3 points is added to the score.  While the inclusion of this may be controversial, the actual effect is minimal.  All restaurants will have a Yelp score and the majority of them have a score between 3.5 and 4.5, resulting in a relatively small differential between them.

The maximum possible meta-score is 17.5 if one restaurant showed up on all the lists and topped out all the rankings and ratings.
