Start with places people can actually visit
A useful local list needs distinct restaurant locations, current addresses, and directions. Different branches stay separate because the experience can vary from one kitchen to another.
When a restaurant moves, closes, or appears twice, the correction matters just as much as the score. Discovery falls apart when the map cannot be trusted.
Leave room for disagreement
Burgers are personal. Some people want a thin, crisp-edged smashburger; others want a thick patty, a tavern burger, or a regional specialty. A community list should reveal that disagreement instead of sanding it away.
That is why the score is shown alongside the number of ratings. The number is a starting point, not a verdict.
Keep the list alive
Static “best of” lists age quickly. Jack’s Burger List updates as people add or change ratings, while the Recent view makes new activity visible. The result should feel less like an award plaque and more like an ongoing conversation.
