We work together in Utrecht. At some point lunch stopped being just lunch and started being evidence. Now every outing gets scored, argued over and written up, so you can learn from our mistakes, and our meatballs.


Taste, vibe and value on 1–5. An overall 1–10. A Yes, No or Not sure on going back. Plus whatever you want to say.
The group score is the plain average of everyone’s 1–10, rounded to one decimal. No weighting, no bonus points, no mood adjustments.
Our AI editor turns the takes into one story. It can tease; it can’t invent a dish, a quote or a number. The originals stay on every page.
Every verdict is the same bowl in a different mood, from grinning with the steam still rising to knocked over on the table. The rules behind each mood are fixed; nobody gets to pick the face.
One critic on their own? Then it’s a provisional verdict until someone else weighs in.
Score 7.0 or higher, more Yes than No, and not a single No.
Score 6.0 or higher, more Yes than No, but at least one No.
Score 5.0 or higher and none of the above. Or a tied jury.
Score under 5.0. Regardless of how nice the napkins were.
