Taste Theory
The Food Blog
We rate restaurants using the Taste Theory Index (TTI) — a detailed scoring system that breaks down the dining experience across multiple categories: flavor, quality, value, presentation, service, setting, and creativity.
Each meal earns a final score out of 100 Bites, our signature unit, designed to quantify satisfaction and significance.
Every review is shaped by a unique Palate Map — a visual fingerprint of a Theorist’s personal flavor preferences. We believe food tastes better when you know how to taste it — and even better when you understand why you like it.
Whether it’s a hole-in-the-wall ramen spot, a high-concept tasting menu, or a dish you’d fly across the country to eat again, we approach it all with curiosity, structure, and high standards.
We don’t chase clout. We chase craveability.
This isn’t just about food. It’s about why flavor matters
Taste Theory isn’t just a food blog — it’s a framework. A philosophy. A measured pursuit of what makes food worth remembering.
In a world full of one-bite reviews and hype-driven hotspots, Taste Theory slows things down and asks:
What actually makes this meal great?
