The LA 51 2025

Awesome - thank you! Is there anyway to allow submissions of less than 51 rankings, so that we can save along the way? Right now it’s requiring I fill out all 51.

You can now submit a draft to save your progress. The mechanics are the same as a final submission - saving a draft sends send you an email outlining your current choices and a link which allows you to continue editing the draft.

Are newer restaurants not going to show up? Chainsaw and Holy Basil Santa Monica don’t pop up.

Just checked and can confirm both are now in the database (see above image).

51 seems way too long a list of nominations for a lot of people. Why require any minimum?

I suggest not capping the results at any arbitrary number. Just rank everything by number of votes from whatever the max is down to a list of single-vote places

@PeonyWarrior

p.s.: I think 51 is too high. People are busy, lazy, etc. although I suppose there is no harm if people do less than 51. Maybe offer a min list of 10 and a max of 51.

Point heard. I definitely want to require a minimum number of selections, as I want to discourage low effort entries - like submitting Hayato at #1 and nothing else. Additionally, the more entries that people submit, the broader and thus more valuable the final ranking will be. That said, I don’t want to discourage submissions, and 51 is a lot. I’m leaning towards a minimum of 20-25 - I feel like most people (on this board) could name their top 20-25 restaurants without too much trouble.
