A lot of duplicate posts about this from various news agencies. Thanks for posting the original source.

Yeah I'm constraining myself to just locations within Portland city limits. If you take a look at the map there should be a layer which you can enable which shows the city boundaries. If I included the metropolitan area there would probably be well over 100 locations, that's probably too many to visit multiple times!

I mistakenly submitted this little personal project as a "Show HN" yesterday as I wasn't aware of the guidelines.

Google reviews piss me off because it's either 1 star or 5 stars and who knows if the person actually ate the food. I wish people had to visit a place multiple times, spaced out, before their ratings would even count. I decided to take that philosophy and apply it to one dish, Phở.

I'm going to all the restaurants that serve phở in Portland, Oregon's city limits and rating them. You can see the ranking, but not the point values until I've visited twice. Technically you can go get the data as it's open source and get the scores, but most people are too lazy to do that. It's a simple static site built with astro, so hammer away at what I did wrong.

I've been going in spurts over the past couple years and I'm hoping to get through the first round within the next month or two. I'm a white guy that doesn't know anything so of course the ratings are completely subjective.

That's pretty hard/impossible to do with Phở as the noodles will degrade pretty quickly. I'm hoping that go 3 times to a place spread over time will help average out the swings in my tastes.

That's what I typically will do, or search key phrases that I care about. I agree that there would be a lot less reviews, but I'd personally prefer quality over quantity.

Thanks, I did not read those guidelines and it seems you are right!

Full article is only available to subscribers, but I thought the premise of having this transparency pretty refreshing.
