Field notes
The census uses a staged verification system rather than treating every listing as a finished review: reported restaurants await a fork report, after which they can receive measurements and higher recognition. Current entries include 19 spots across ten counties, with fields for dip, chip speed, sombrero protocol, and salsa heat. The project says 31 seats remain in its Founding Fifty and aims eventually to cover Kentucky's 115 rural counties.
