Inlander Restaurant Week Picker

A single-file web app for browsing, marking favorites, and randomly selecting a restaurant during Inlander Restaurant Week.

Overview

The app presents all participating IRW restaurants in a two-panel layout — a scrollable list on the left and a detail view on the right — making it easy to browse full multi-course menus before deciding where to eat.

Each couple gets their own set of interest checkboxes ("His Picks" / "Her Picks") that persist in localStorage across sessions. Once both people have marked their favorites, the built-in randomizer picks a winner from the mutually-agreed pool.

Features

• Browse & search — filter restaurants by name, price tier ($25 / $35 / $45), neighborhood/area, and cuisine type
• Full menu detail — click any restaurant to view its complete multi-course IRW menu with descriptions
• Dual interest tracking — independently mark restaurants as interesting for two people; selections are saved automatically in the browser
• Interest filter — narrow the list to His Picks, Her Picks, Both Picked, or Either Picked
• Random picker — "Pick for Us!" draws a random winner from the currently filtered pool, with an option to re-roll
• Course browse — dedicated First Course, Second Course, and Third Course buttons open a modal listing every dish for that course across all restaurants; click any dish to jump straight to that restaurant's detail view
• Clear Filters — one-click button to reset all search and filter fields back to their defaults
• Reset Selected — clears all saved picks (with a confirmation prompt) so you can start fresh
• Mobile-friendly — responsive single-panel layout on small screens; the list and detail views swap in place, with a Back button to return to the list
• No dependencies — pure HTML, CSS, and vanilla JavaScript; open the file directly in any browser
