The Utah Food Forum








This is the place where news and information about this blog will go.

RATINGS
The first Item of news is the new rating system.
I am still working on the rating system, but I would love your feedback,
and participation.

The rating system is a scale from 1 - 8, with eight being the best.
The unit of measurement is a spoon. The type of spoon is an indicator of the price.
At present, the system starts with plastic spoons, then goes to wood, then bronze, then Silver, and then, rarely, but I suppose it is possible, the elusive golden spoon.

But I repeat, the type of spoon is not an indicator of the quality, or the experience, that is found in the number of spoons.

Example If two restaurants are on the blog, and on got 8 plastic spoons, while the other received 1 Golden Spoon, I would have to reccomend that you pick the plastic spoon one.
For two reasons: You would probaly enjoy the food/ experience more, and you would save a boat load of money.

Ultimately each restaurant should have a composite rating, but if individuals would like to give ratings for parts of the experience, as well as the composite rating that is fine too.

Also I believe that the more people who rate each restaurant, the more accurate the ratings will be, so please share your feelings too.

Here are the pics for the Wooden Spoons









The rest of the pictures will be up soon, when they are, I will post info on how to access them.
have a great day.

I stand by two spoons.

yes, and why wouldn't you?
that's the beauty of a site like this, it's not here to change peoples opinions, it's here to give people as much information as possible. The more people who review a place, the more likely their rating is to be accurate. So I am glad to have your ratings.

(though for me two spoons is right above 'losing your lunch')
