The rules
- Certified Local GemA gem is certified only when the Lead Planner assigns or approves it. Certified gems show on the vendor’s Lōcal Güide page with their stone, and a vendor can hold several.
- Requesting a gemVendors request the gems that fit them from their plan account. The Lead Planner approves or declines each request.
- C.É. ApprovedThe C.É. Approved badge is our seal for vendors we’ve vetted, and the final word. A gem never replaces it.
- Searching by gemPick as many gems as you like. Every place that fits at least one of them shows first: certified vendors, then the places our scout finds that fit, each with the reason. A scout match isn’t a certification.
- Everything after thatThe rest follow our usual order: the Michelin Guide, then Eater, then The Infatuation, then local newspaper reviews, then the Google rating. Ties go to the bigger social following, then the newer business.
- What we leave outYelp isn’t used. Chains with more than 25 locations are left out, and a place needs at least 25 Google reviews unless you search it by name. Every critic mention links to its source.
