HOW IT WORKS
EAT. SNAP. BATTLE. RANK.
From the table to the leaderboard. Under 30 seconds. No star scales. No sponsored placements. Your battles change the list.
Find
The specific dish, not the restaurant
Order the dish. The specific one — not just 'dinner at this restaurant.' That's the whole point.
Snap
Prove you were there
Take a photo before you eat. Photo = higher weight. Anyone can leave a number — not everyone can prove they showed up.
Battle
Pick the winner
We show you two dishes of the same type. Pick the winner. No scales, no sliders. Just: which one wins?
Rank
The argument is settled
The best dish earns its rank by beating everything else — not by collecting the most clicks. The argument is settled.
THE ENGINE
Why No Star Ratings
Forked never asks you for a number. It asks you one simpler question: which one wins? Your answer does the math.
Every dish starts equal
New dishes enter on a level playing field. Nobody gets a head start. The battles determine everything.
Battles shift the rankings
When you pick a winner, our algorithm updates both dishes' rankings. Upsets carry more weight — beating the #1 dish moves the needle more.
Rankings stabilize over time
More battles, more confidence. A dish with 500 battles has a precise, reliable rank. One with 10 is still proving itself. The real list earns its place.
“You don't decide what's good. The battles do. One head-to-head at a time, the real list reveals itself.”
