The Taste Trekker

Good morning, good afternoon or good evening, wherever you happen to be reading from. We’ve been reviewing restaurants via our Gourmet Gauge scale for the last year now, and so far we have managed to review over 100 different venues, some of them casting back from previous adventures over the last couple of years, but a lot have been done from these last 365 days. We have a sticky post at the top of our blog with our scoreboard, but I thought I would show you the current scoreboard in terms of venue type. You can see the full scoreboard, with no separation of categories, and with points here.

On my spreadsheet not only do I have the scoreboard for every eatery, but I have also separated them into categories: restaurants, cafes, bakery’s, cruise ship venues and ice cream parlours. Here are the charts as it stands:
