Overall Chevys Rankage

The following Chevys are ranked from best to worst based on our overall scores from visiting Chevys. The ranking categories were weighted, so that salsa quality, for example, was worth more than bean spillage. The numbers depend a lot on how different categories were weighted, and the lower the number the better the Chevys. I've only included Chevys that have been ranked by two or more people in the ranked list. I've included scores for Chevys ranked by only one person below, but want to give a disclaimer that results for these Chevys are not as accurate.

Also, you'll note that some other places other than Chevys were ranked using the Chevys rating sheets.

In case you're wondering, we refer to all the cities beginning with "San" in the Bay Area as "Stan." Hence "Stan Leandro" and "Stan Francisco."

(In California, unless otherwise noted.)

		Non-Chevys Also Ranked
		Khayyam's Chelo Kabob	2.88

Khayyam's Chelo Kabob is a Persian restaurant also in Albany, California. Lila & Brendan are always dragging me there despite their too-high prices. They make a mean crunchy rice bottom though.

21. Irvine Chevys 22. San Diego - Carmel Mountain Chevys

Only Ranked by One Person		Non-Chevys Also Ranked
Arlington, Virginia	3.11111	Kathy & Mark's Apartment	4.27

Kathy & Mark's Apartment is located in Oakland, California. Some would call it the 'hood (but only because it's in Oaktown).

*Newark's salsa was too nasty to be called Chevys. It was nearly green. Really.
*My apartment really isn't that bad.

38. Sacramento - South Sacramento Chevys 40. Roseville Chevys

Visited but as yet Unrated Chevys

Emeryville
Foster City
Novato
Stan Francisco - 4th & Howard (won't be ranked either since it's now closed)

All of these Chevys (except 4th & Howard) would have probably made it into the list of top 20 Chevys.

Emeryville Chevys

Other "Scientific" Problems with the Data

Brendan tends to rank things too high, and many of the Chevys ranked by only one person are by him. That partially accounts for their inflated scores.
Kathy tends to rank things too low.
My brother, Michael, tends to rank things way too low.
Lila doesn't give a highest rating for "Speed of being seated" unless the servers meet her at her car.
