At a glance.

If we met in an elevator, this is what I’d tell you.

All about the food.

Food opinions are fragmented, personal and unreliable, and where most people choose a restaurant, the food takes a back seat. DishSnap is all about the food, by foodies, for foodies: the best dishes in every city, ranked by the people who ate them. I co-founded the idea in 2012 and came back to it in 2026, designing and building it from the ground up.

The problem

Finding the best dish.

Looking for dinner: a phone held up on a city street at night
8.2/10How much travelers weigh food when choosing where to go. World Food Travel Association, 2026.

My wife and I are big foodies, and so are our friends. Some cross town for the best ramen. Others plan whole trips around what they’ll eat. We all want to know the same thing: what’s the best thing to eat here?

The food takes a back seat.

Where most people choose a restaurant, the restaurant and the service come first. And food opinions are:

  • Fragmented. Spread across friends, group chats and reviews.
  • Personal. One person’s perfect bowl is another’s pass.
  • Unreliable. Hard to know whose taste to trust.

The idea

All about the food.

By foodies, for foodies. People crave dishes, not restaurants, so everything in DishSnap starts with the plate.

Scoring

Flavor first.

Flavor carries more than half of every score, because it’s the one thing a photo can’t show.
