It’s been eons since I’ve doled out any stars (which are about to look like Buddha statues pretty soon anyway *wink*). There are a myriad of reasons why I haven’t rated any place recently but I’ll spare you the reasons why that happens to be the case. The point is – the system right now doesn’t suit me or this food journal.
I’m not necessarily going to abandon the whole thing (explained here), but I’ve decided to get rid of at least one, if not all, of the currently used categories. I’ll probably re-work Food, Vibe, & Service … but at the very least, Overall is getting kicked to the curb. In its place is a yet to be named category and ultimately the one that will end up being the most important.
The new category is actually based on time/distance. By that I mean, how far should someone be willing to travel to sample a particular restaurant’s wares. I’m still not sure if it will be mileage defined, time defined, or some combination of the two. While I work through it, I’d gladly welcome reader input as to how you might divvy up the category. Do you guys and gals define your dining options by distance or travel time or some combination of the two? I’m leaning towards something like 5 min drive / 20 mile drive / Get on a Plane.
