How this ranking works
Closish tracks what local food creators post on TikTok and Instagram, matches every video to the real place it was filmed, and ranks spots by how much people are actually talking about them right now — video volume, views, and how recently creators posted. No paid placements, no ads. Rankings refresh as new videos are found (nightly).
