Final Word

The arc is reconstructed from first-inspection dates, closure-confirmation signals, new-license activity, and FRI validation. It is a public-record history, not a claim of complete cultural memory.

Methodology and Audit

Entries clear the FRI cascade on DBPR status, closure vetting, and cuisine attribution. Identity enrichment (DBPR/OSS/Sunbiz name agreement, geocoded address, city/county consistency, plus cached Google/Foursquare/Yelp verifier context) refines a listing but is no longer a publish gate: a DBPR record that fails only enrichment is still shown rather than dropped. A record that cannot be matched to an identity is marked "Unverified DBPR Record" and its unverified corporate/website/social attribution is withheld; a record that cannot be geocoded is recorded as un-located. Failures and enrichment levels are written to output/cuisine_essay_audit.parquet for operator review.

46 of 46 candidate evaluations published (100.0%); 6 marked unverified (no identity match), 12 recorded as un-located (no geocode). Audit log: output/cuisine_essay_audit.parquet.
