Does the quality of restaurants degrade with your proximity to a train station? In this culinary data exploration, we used publicly accessible data to assess whether busy train stations correlate with lower restaurant ratings - and which towns are actually the worst. Using the Google Maps API and the hottest framework for data manipulation, polars, we give an overview over publicly available data resources and show how far you can get with them.

Of course, this talk will also deliver all the cold hard food facts: Analyzing the data of over 10,000 restaurants in Germany and worldwide, we will present the best and worst dining options available at train stations. We compare urban and rural environments, examine the impact of chain stores, and provide practical advice for you, the hungry traveler. So welcome aboard this gastronomic journey, ensuring your next meal on the go is a delightful one!
