Become an Anonymous Taster
Real experts who taste typical dishes undercover, with no allegiances and no paid promotion. No one is paid: that's why our rankings tell the truth.
Anonymous Palates are the heart of Foodoso. They're people obsessed with a dish: they love it so much they want everyone to discover it and fall in love with it the way they did. That's why they give free visibility to restaurants that respect and care for that dish, and with glacial calm ignore those who ruin it through laziness, incompetence or greed. They do it knowing they won't make a euro: just the satisfaction of defending something they care about. No one is an expert in everything, but in one dish—especially if you come from the places where it was born. That dish could be carbonara from Rome or pho from Hanoi: we need people like that, wherever they are.
Who we're looking for
- You love a typical dish like few others, you're not a food know-it-all
- You're honest and impartial, even when your vote is uncomfortable
- You can explain why a dish is made well or poorly, not just say it's good
- You live where that dish is from, or you grew up with it
What you get out of it
- Money: zero. That's the point, not a flaw—that's why no one can buy you
- A vote that really matters: you move rankings read by thousands
- Recognition as an Anonymous Palate and a community obsessed with food like you
- The satisfaction of defending a dish you love and exposing those who betray it
- Expense reimbursement, when and if we manage to support it
