Chi-square is the appropriate test for nominal data, which involves comparing categorical variables to determine if there is a relationship between them or not. In Garrett's case, he wants to compare gender (a categorical variable) and restaurant preference (another categorical variable), so a chi-square test would be the best choice. Dependent t-test and independent t-test are used for continuous data, and ANOVA is used for comparing three or more groups.
