Filter restaurants by location (Web and API) #26

This uses IP Address based geocoding. It's not the most accurate but for something coarse like this it should be fine. Though users behind proxies or VPNs might not have an ideal experience.

To get more accurate we should use HTML5 geolocation. In order to make use of that we'd need to make an AJAX request for the venues and render them with javascript, preferably with a front end framework.

Going to let this sit overnight so I can evaluate with fresh eyes tomorrow

Removed the web location filtering piece. Can always add it back in later, it's as simple as reverting a commit now.
