Clear standards matter when restaurant details change quickly and food history deserves careful attribution.
Send a correctionEditorial independence and selection
A restaurant belongs in a guide when it helps readers make a specific dining decision and its key details can be documented. Inclusion cannot be purchased. Advertising, sponsorship, affiliate links, complimentary products, or hosted meals must be disclosed beside affected coverage if they are ever used.
The publication does not claim anonymous visits or that it pays for every meal unless that process has actually been established and documented. Recommendations do not rely on copied reviews, undisclosed payment, social-media visibility, or invented popularity.
Selection considers location, meal type, price, service style, dietary usefulness, accessibility information, the quality of available evidence, and the guide’s need for meaningful range.
How facts are checked
Addresses, operating status, hours, menus, reservation rules, ordering methods, and prices should be checked against direct restaurant communication or official restaurant channels. A last-checked date appears on time-sensitive collections.
Historical claims should use named primary or reputable secondary sources. Stories repeated without documentation are labeled as uncertain or omitted. Recipes state their sourcing basis and do not invent testing, authorship, ratings, nutrition, or family history.
A planned business is not described as open until its status is confirmed. Local ownership, accessibility, allergy safety, and neighborhood identity are not assumed.
Updates, corrections, and feedback
Guides are reviewed when resources allow and when documented changes are received. The site does not promise a schedule it cannot maintain. Readers should still confirm time-sensitive details before a visit.
Substantive factual corrections should identify what changed and the date of correction. Minor spelling, grammar, and formatting changes do not require a public note.
Readers, workers, and restaurant operators may submit official links or documentation through the contact page. A submission does not guarantee inclusion, removal, or coverage, but documented errors should be assessed promptly.
