Founding Tasters wanted
You already eat out. Get credit for it.
Foodie Saga plans meals dish by dish. We need people who actually eat in their city to score those dishes. Your name goes on every dish you score.
Open to food lovers anywhere in the US, from big cities to small towns.
What you get
From day one
-
Your name on every dish
Every dish you score carries your name and links to your Instagram or TikTok, in the sagas and in every meal plan it shows up in.
-
Your own Taster page
A profile on foodiesaga.com with your picks, your city and your links. Good for your credibility and your search ranking.
-
Free Saga+
Unlimited Plan my meal plans for as long as you're an active Taster.

Your best dishes get featured on the Foodie Saga homepage and in the sagas, credited to you.

The Taster code
Honest or nothing
People plan birthdays and date nights around these scores. Here's what every Taster signs up to:
- Only score dishes you've actually eaten, with photos you took.
- If a meal was free or hosted, say so. It gets a "Hosted visit" label.
- Don't score places you own, work at, or that friends or family run.
- Be honest. A 6/10 is useful. Not every dish is a 10.
- Your scores are checked against what members say after they eat there.
Questions
Do I need a lot of followers?
No. We care about how you eat and how you describe it. Plenty of our best picks will come from people who don't post at all.
Is it paid?
Not at first, and we'd rather be upfront about that. Day one, you get credit, exposure, Saga+ and a founding spot. Paid work and hosted tastings come as Foodie Saga grows, and Tasters get them first.
Where can I be a Taster?
Anywhere in the US. Big city or small town, if you eat out there, your scores help people plan meals there.
Can I stop anytime?
Yes. Your published scores stay credited to you.
