TasteAtlas based its list on 602,523 audience ratings, of which 389,802 were “legitimate.” It determines the legitimacy of the ratings using systems that recognize actual audience members and ignore “bot, nationalist or local patriotic ratings, and give additional value to the ratings of users that the system recognizes as knowledgeable.”

The online guide to the world’s traditional foods notes that it doesn’t intend for people to interpret its lists as definitive. “Their purpose is to promote excellent local foods, instill pride in traditional dishes, and arouse curiosity about dishes you haven’t tried.”
