Ryan Explains His “Totally Scientific” Food Rating System

In this very serious and deeply academic video, Ryan finally reveals the secrets behind his 1–10 food rating system — the one he uses across our travel and dining videos to rank everything from prime rib to pink cake.

What’s a 10? What’s a 6?

  • Is a “9” even possible?
  • Does a perfect 10 require fireworks, a live band, and tableside brisket carving?
  • Ryan breaks down the logic (and logic holes) behind his now infamous system.

🎯 Topics covered include:

  • Why Ryan created his own unofficial food scoring model
  • What it actually takes to earn a perfect 10
  • Why some ratings have nothing to do with the food at all

If you’ve ever wondered why he gave steak in San Francisco a 9.2, but breakfast in Morro Bay a 7, this one’s for you.
