Today's Prompt: Finding the Best Restaurant in Town

I remember when Lisa and I moved to the Greensboro, NC, area back in 2018. One of the first things we did was ask people about their favorite restaurants and search reviews online.

Lisa and I love food—and wine—and choosing where to eat is important to us. We both love to cook and typically only eat out at places that cook meals that we don't. I’ve often spent too much time scrolling through reviews, trying to figure out which restaurant will be worth it. I developed this prompt to help you use AI to quickly find the best dining spots based on what matters most to you—whether it’s cuisine, ambiance, or reviews from trusted sources.
