You don't seem to be looking for advice on whether the idea is viable or not, but I guess I do wonder where it would be relevant. I tend to intentionally characterize a place by all of their menu items; if the fries suck for a reason that doesn't seem to be a one-off, I'm perfectly fine just never ordering there again, and that's also what I look to reviews for. I don't personally look for others' nuanced opinions as much in terms of flavor on a per item basis because I don't think people are critical enough of what they pay for, but I do look for things that are more objectively disagreeable, like consistently poor service, high price to quantity and quality ratio; things that form broadly disagreeable trends or give me sense of what type of place it is, and those are all things people are sufficiently if not too critical of. I do however look for photos of specific items, because I think it's actually somewhat useful to judge food by their book covers, so maybe that's the kind of thing I'd find helpful, but I'd have a hard time thinking of why I'd pay for it, maybe ad supported.<p>For example, I went to a brunch place recently to meet some friends, and I was skeptical it'd be any good for some reason, maybe I just feel like brunch is a scam for people who don't care. I looked at the reviews, and pretty much confirmed my suspicion based less on the specifics of any particular item, but on the way food was generally presented and priced. So I went anyway and paid too much for not that much mediocre food, and tempered my expectations accordingly. Any comments on the food could have just been "my food was ___", it wouldn't have mattered what I got, it was all arbitrary food meant to capitalize on location and people drinking (what do the photos show me? Is all food paired with a drink? Maybe people aren't there for the food).<p>All that said, everyone's a bit different, I'd maybe poll people on Reddit, it's uniquely positioned for people to comment on specific subject matter that's important to them. See what the vibe is.
