Why not grade cafes according to the menu quality?
There are guides already devoted to food ratings. Loaded magazine in 1999 did a cafe cover issue but focused on the grill dishes being served. Again, our main concern is the preservation and celebration of the interiors and exteriors of those cafes that have architectural and atmospheric merit. The food is largely immaterial. How it’s served and the surroundings are the prime concern here. Those are the things that will vanish forever. Rubbish grub will always remain.
