Current Rankings

As the wife has correctly denoted, there are some inconsistencies in the rankings of the restaurants. This is due to new restaurants topping our previous favorites, new tastes, new chefs, etc… So we decided since we’ve being doing this for about a year, now would be a good time to reassess some of the rankings and normalize it. However we decided to keep a copy of the rankings just so we have a record.
