Every menu on here got filmed, not typed. Somebody walked into the place, ordered, shot what showed up — and now that's the menu. The dish, what it ran them, and the clip it came from. The restaurant didn't upload a thing. Plenty of dishes nobody's filmed yet. Shoot one first and your name stays on it, however big that dish gets later. The Top 40 resets every night on what your city is eating right now, not what's been popular since 2019. Trucks, pop-ups, somebody's home kitchen, a cart parked outside a laundromat, all of it counts. Chains don't, ever. See something you want, tap it, and we hand you to DoorDash or Uber Eats with the dish already picked. Run a kitchen? Claiming it costs nothing, your menu fills itself in from footage people already shot, and we don't take a cut of anything.
