Version 6.0 old

Here is version 6.0 of the meta-analysis of the Best Restaurants in Los Angeles.  It includes the most recent versions of two rankings, two ratings and two lists including:

Jonathan Gold's 101 along with Los Angeles Magazine list of 75 best restaurants.
Zagat and Gayot  are include with ratings 25/30 and 14/20 and above, respectively.
The Eater LA Top 38 as well as the newly added LA Weekly 99 Essential Restaurants are also included.
Restaurants still need to appear on more two or more separate lists to qualify.

Stars are my personal rating.  I feel like my ratings are more objective than those coming from foodies, because I don't even like food. I add those to the meta-score to come up with a final composite score for the restaurants I have visited. Meta-score is given as percent of the maximum.
