Who’s doing the work.
Ranked by points, and points come from takes — most of all from takes with a photo. A photo is never required. It is just worth more than double, because it is the part a stranger believes. Nobody is on this board yet, which makes it the easiest #1 on the site.
Nobody on the board yet
The first take published is the first name on this list, and it stays at the top until somebody writes more than it. That is a genuinely easy #1 to take.

Taster
Anyone who eats out and has opinions about it. Your takes publish under your own name, with your photos and your links, and they count from the first one.
From your first takeTrusted Taster
A run of takes that held up. Your answers carry more weight in the score, your photos lead the listing, and you get first look at places nobody has covered.
250 pointsTown Guide
The top Taster in a town, credited on that town's page with a link to your profile. One per town, and it changes hands — this is a standing, not a title.

One take puts you on the board. Ten questions about a meal you already ate, about four minutes, and a photo doubles it.
Points buy standing on this page and nothing else. They do not move a restaurant’s Sweet Score and they cannot be bought. Scores can't be bought. Only earned.
