I have developed my rating system into a killer, restaurant-eating machine. Now, each restaurant will start with 100 points. These 100 points are the ONLY 100 points a restaurant will have, regardless of how many times I dine. These 100 points are distributed amongst the 20 specific criteria, with an allotment of five points per criterion per visit. For example, let's take the criterion "Doneness Precision", if my food was mutilated each of the four times I dined, 20 points could be deducted from the total. The idea is that if I am throughly impressed the first time, the restaurant deserves maximum points. Found an error in my experimental design? Points can be redeemed on subsequent visits. But only up to one less point lost are available to redeem the second time, and the pattern continues. Breaching the equity of redemption, it's a knotty system of weighing an average. Confused? Yup, a restaurant CAN score in negatives, but it's unlikely, it would require terrible food and sick-puppy faith to keep coming back.
In all fairness, I will probably eat everywhere twice
Hi Dan
ReplyDeleteI work with your Mom. I think what you are doing here is awesome! You are a wonderful writer and have a way of bringing your readers (at least this one) along with you on your journey. I can get a real sense of atmosphere for where you are and can almost taste the foods you are describing. I look forward to more posts....consider me a fan!
