This is a good reminder to post on your thread about best meal/dish or the year!
I use a combination of iCloud notes, yelp bookmarks, and sometimes google maps.
-
I take photos (geotagging!) and keep a chronological list of where and what I’ve eaten. For outstanding dishes, I put one to three stars. Like @sck, my memory for foods fades quickly, especially if I’ve been eating in a chatty setting. If my tasting notes don’t get recorded on HO or CH I’m likely to forget about what I ate.

I have separate 5 iCloud notes for the SFBA: one each for SF, the East Bay, the North Bay, the Far East Bay, and the Peninsula. I live in SF, and my SF note contains (1) neighborhood sublists with affordable restaurants I’ve been to and are easy to get into without a reservation. This is ideal for meeting up with people or quickly recommending places. (2) a to-eat list ordered roughly by breakfast, lunch, dinner with notes of dishes to get. This mirrors a google map of theee restaurants. I star restaurants when I finally eat there and (3) a disorganized list I’ve yet to integrate elsewhere. My iCloud notes for other 4 regions of the Bay Area are disorganized lists, with stars for places I’ve been to.

I use Yelp bookmarks for areas outside of the Bay Area. That way, I’ll see these bookmarks on the road and search my notes, HO, or CH for why they might be good suggestions.
