70% of the title has to specifically describe what the food is. Backstory to the food / where the ingredients come from (leftover, last nights, home grown) do not fall within the 70% and must only take up 30% of the title.

• Titles worded to solicit votes directly or indirectly will be removed. The titles must have one (1) tag. No emojis or all caps, please.

Add a Tag at the Front of Your Title.

• The available tags are:

[I ate] - Food you purchased and ate, with no-preparation of your own (Restaurant / Food truck / Food Vendor)

[Homemade] - Food you, friend, family member etc, made at home
