Field notes

The homepage gives visitors several ways to browse: dish, town, region, map, or search. Dish counts make the listings scannable, while place entries can link out to official menus, business sites, and directions. One featured example describes Red Front Restaurant's COB pizza as thick-sliced mozzarella placed on the dough before homemade sauce goes on top.
