Atlanta, get ready to embark on a culinary adventure with the launch of HUE, an innovative, personalized food recommendation social network app aimed at captivating the palates of Gen Z and Millennials. Think Yelp or Google Reviews, but with a twist tailored precisely to your distinct taste preferences.
Jean-Baptiste Dominguez, the culinary enthusiast and CEO at the helm of HUE, has felt the struggle of finding that perfect dining spot. “Existing apps fall short when it comes to recommending based on individual taste” notes Jean-Baptiste. “Some startups attempted a friend-recommendation approach, but I love most of my friends for who they’re, not their taste.”
Formerly the Co-founder of the Los Angeles-based short-form video app, Clash App, which garnered 6.5 million users and $9 million in funding, Jean-Baptiste teamed up with Noriko Shindo, an ex-Amazonian with an MBA from INSEAD, in 2023 to address this culinary challenge.
Launched this week, HUE isn’t just another foodie app; it’s a revolution in personalized recommendations; Connecting users through a proprietary algorithm that transforms individual taste preferences into a unique HUE (a unique color), making the entire experience both entertaining and intuitive.
Your HUE, much like your taste, is a dynamic shade that evolves over time. It’s a visual representation of your dining preferences, and just like in the real world, your HUE may or may not align with your friends’—because in Atlanta, you appreciate your friends for who they are, not just what they eat.
Explore restaurant recommendations tailored to your HUE, discover places your friends have endorsed, and immerse yourself in curated lists from members who share similar HUEs. In the world of HUE, closer HUEs translate to closer taste preferences.
The launch of HUE has not gone unnoticed. A prominent YouTube and IG creator meishmoe, celebrated the app’s arrival, exclaiming, “It’s about time we had a new Yelp”
Atlanta, ready to elevate your dining experience? HUE is now available for download on both the App Store and Google Play Stores. Bid farewell to generic recommendations and say hello to a world where every bite is crafted just for you. Embrace your HUE today, and let the flavor journey begin!
