About IrishSpiceBag
IrishSpiceBag is a global food discovery platform that helps you find the best viral street food dishes in your city — starting with the legendary Irish Spice Bag.
🌶️ Our Mission
Build the world's largest, most transparent directory of viral street food dishes. No paid placements, no hidden ads — just honest, data-driven rankings.
📊 How We Rank
Every restaurant scores 0–100 based on four factors:
- Social mentions (35%) — How often the restaurant is talked about on TikTok, Instagram, Reddit
- Review count (25%) — Total reviews across platforms
- Rating (25%) — Aggregated rating from public sources
- Freshness (15%) — How recently we verified the listing
All factors are normalized per city so scores are comparable regardless of city size.
🤝 Our Ethical Commitments
✅ Open Data First — We use OpenStreetMap, public directories, and official APIs. No unauthorized scraping. Ever.
✅ Respect for Restaurants — Any restaurant owner can opt out at any time. We remove listings within 48 hours and permanently exclude the business from future indexing.
✅ No Fake Engagement — No bots, no fake reviews, no astroturfing. All AI-generated content is clearly labelled.
✅ Attribution — Every listing links to the restaurant's own website and social profiles. We promote restaurants, not replace them.
✅ ToS Compliance — If a platform's Terms of Service disallow automated access, that platform is excluded. No exceptions, no workarounds.
🔗 Vanity URLs
Every restaurant gets a clean, shareable URL like irishspicebag.com/@your-restaurant. Restaurant owners can claim their page for free to customise their handle and update details.
