Abstract: An online computerized food-related social network includes a database of user preferences regarding food, drinks, cuisines, ingredients, dishes, and restaurants. Users create a profile. Additional food, drinks, cuisines, ingredients, dishes, and restaurants are recommended to the user based on other users' preferences by applying fuzzy logic. The data in the database can be used to provide targeted marketing to the users. The data in the database can be sold to third parties as marketing research.
