Stop arguing about where to eat. Forked Up is a dining app for South Florida that learns your taste from the dishes you actually love — not the restaurants you tolerate. The more you tap, favorite, and rate, the sharper your personal vibeologist gets at matching you to the right spot. YOUR TASTE GRAPH, BUILT AS YOU TAP This is the whole point. Every favorite, every "love it / meh / pass," every bookmark teaches your vibeologist what you actually want. No 47-question quizzes. No generic top-10 lists. Your matches sharpen with every tap, and they stop looking like anyone else's. YOUR PERSONAL VIBEOLOGIST Ask "what should I eat tonight?" and get back actual dishes from real South Florida menus, ranked against your taste graph — not a list of the same five restaurants every blog already covered. MACROS, SURFACED Tap any dish to see approximate macros. Built for people who want nutrition transparency without scrolling through a PDF menu or guessing. BUILT FOR SOUTH FLORIDA FIRST Miami. Fort Lauderdale. The neighborhoods in between. Forked Up is launching in South Florida first because dish-level data is hard, and we'd rather know one region cold than every region poorly. WHAT'S INSIDE - Personalized dish matches that get sharper every tap - Favorite, bookmark, and rate menu items inline - AI vibeologist chat — ask for a vibe, get real menu items back - Macros surfaced on supported dishes - South Florida coverage (Miami-Dade, Broward, and surrounding areas) WHO IT'S FOR - Decision-fatigued diners tired of the Friday-night "what do you want to eat" loop - Foodies who care about the dish, not the brand on the door - Macro-trackers who want nutrition transparency without guesswork - Locals who want to find the SoFlo spots they're sleeping on WHAT IT'S NOT - Not a reservation app - Not another star-rating wall - Not a delivery app PRIVACY We track what you tap inside the app to make matches better. We don't sell your data. Full policy: https://forkedup.app/privacy. REGIONS Live in South Florida. Outside the region? Join the waitlist at https://forkedup.app and we'll let you know when your city is up. Forked Up. Think less. Vibe more.
