The Gem Finder
Thirty reviews beats three thousand.
You trust a place people haven't discovered yet over one everybody agrees about. No website and a phone number reads as promising, not risky — and you're usually right.
What being The Gem Finder actually means
Thirty reviews beats three thousand. A place with no website and a phone number reads to you as promising rather than risky, and you would rather be early to somewhere good than on time to somewhere everyone has already been.
How you find out
The Savor Scout taste quiz runs over seven days — five questions a day, about a minute each. Every day reads a different part of how you eat: heat, sweet, value, adventure, late nights and discovery. On the last day you get your type.
It is not a personality test for its own sake. Your answers weight what the app recommends, starting from day one, so a The Gem Finder and a The Firewalker searching the same words in the same town get different restaurants back.
The other types
- The Firewalker — You chase the burn, and you finish the plate.
- The Purist — You want to taste the food, not the fire.
- The Sweet Tooth — There is always room. You've checked.
- The Bargain Hunter — Plastic chairs, perfect food, half the price.
- The Occasion Maker — You're paying for the evening, not just the food.
- The Blind Orderer — You order the thing you can't identify.
- The Night Owl — The best food happens after dark.
