What is it?
That depends on who's asking.
"Best" means three different things — and they're all true at the same time.
We measure all three.
Simple A/B choices — "which do you prefer?" — reveal your actual ranking. Not what you think your favourite is. What it really is.
Most people are surprised by their own #1.
We find people whose taste mirrors yours — your preference twins. When someone shares 90% of your rankings, their discoveries become your best recommendations.
The people who taste like you know places you don't.
Every comparison feeds a city-wide ranking powered by Bradley-Terry — the same math behind chess ELO ratings. Not averaged stars. Mathematical consensus.
With enough data, we know the answer. Definitively.
Every time you pick A over B, three things happen at once: your personal ranking sharpens, your taste profile connects you with people who choose like you, and Edmonton's collective answer gets more precise. One choice. Three rankings. That's the engine.
You already know the restaurants you love. The real value is the ones you don't know about — the places your preference twins rave about that you haven't tried yet. That's what ranking unlocks.
Quick A/B choices between restaurants you've been to. Takes seconds.
Others who chose the same way you did. Mathematical taste alignment.
Restaurants loved by people with your exact taste that you haven't tried yet.
