HOW TO
POST

Once you're approved, post to Bluesky in this format and tag it #CBDB. The parser reads each line in order — follow it exactly and it indexes automatically.

◈ Step 1
PICK YOUR RATING
⭐⭐⭐
LEGENDARY
Exceptional. A benchmark. The kind of burger you go back for and think about often. Reserve it accordingly — the rating only means something if it's rare.
⭐⭐
WORTH A TRIP
Notably good. Worth a specific visit. Something about it — the build, the value, the experience — is genuinely excellent and sets it apart.
⭐
SOLID
Competently executed. Worth ordering if you're already there. Nothing fails, nothing distinguishes itself. Most burgers land here, and that's fine.
ㄨ
SKIP IT
Not worth your time or money. Bad components, bad ratios, bad value. Better options exist and this isn't worth a visit.
◈ Step 2
POST TO BLUESKY

Copy the template, paste it into a new Bluesky post, fill in your review, and attach a photo of the burger. That's it.

◈ Technical Details
HOW IT WORKS
This is how the parser reads your Bluesky post. Each line has a specific role — line order matters, the blank lines matter, and the #CBDB tag is required. If anything is out of place, the post won't index. When in doubt, use the template above.
1 Restaurant name Official name, consistent spelling every time
2 City, State Portland, OR  ·  Seattle, WA  ·  Tokyo, JP
3 Rating ⭐  ⭐⭐  ⭐⭐⭐  or  ㄨ
4 Price $ = under $12  ·  $$ = $12–22  ·  $$$ = over $22
- blank line required — separates meta from review
5 Your review Be specific — patty, bun, what worked, what didn't
- blank line required — separates review from tag
# #CBDB Required — this is how the parser finds your post
📸 Photo attached The burger, that visit — not a menu photo
The format is public — anyone can read it. But the parser only indexes approved contributors.
