Field notes

The project organizes recommendations through a three-step ritual—Find It, Love It, Sambone It—and says submissions should explain what made a place great. Its food vocabulary is notably local and concrete, ranging from seeded Italian rolls and roast pork with broccoli rabe to room-temperature bakery tomato pie. The homepage also ties eating to four sports seasons and directs readers toward a map, video show, social channels, and branded flags.
