My Replit Project Got me featured on Fox New Chicago

Ranked Chicago's Dirtiest Kitchens using 8 Years of inspection data.

https://chispections.com/leaderboards

Tools:
Built on Replit. Pulled data from Chicago's public CDPH inspection dataset. Frontend/backend all built and iterated on inside Replit no separate local dev setup.

Process:
Started simple get the raw inspection data, make it searchable by restaurant name/address. The real "aha" was realizing the story isn't the data itself, it's the gap between what a restaurant's star rating shows and what its actual inspection record says.

I ranked Chicago’s worst kitchens using 8 years of city health inspection data

compiled records from July 2018 through 2026.
I put together a ranking of Chicago restaurants based on their total critical health violations.
A few quick notes on the data:
Priority Violations: This strictly counts CDPH’s highest-risk citations (gross food storage temps, pests, cross-contamination, lack of hot water, etc.).

Timeframes: Slide 1 shows total violations over the last 8 years. Slide 2 isolates the past 12 months.

Shared Business Licenses: Multi-location entities using a single master license in city records (like United Club at O'Hare) show aggregated totals across all their outposts.

Inspection Frequency: Older and higher-volume establishments get audited far more often, so raw totals naturally lean toward longer-standing spots.
