Change to My Rating System

I have decided to alter how I develop my ratings.  This is a burger blog, not a restaurant review.  We all know that sometimes the best burgers come in the cheapest dive or with the worse service.  On the other hand, you might go to a great restaurant only to find the burger is mediocre at best.

Thus, the formula I use will only involve the following to get the rating: 

Food Presentation and Appearance, Bun, Meat, Toppings, and Overall Taste/Quality.  How I score these categories will remain the same and the ratings will still be from 1 to 5, but the rating will now be all about the burger.

I am not forgeting the other categories:  Location/Access, Facilities/Ambience, Staff/Service, Sides, and Value.  However, these will all be included as notes after the burger rating.  This way, notable issues can still be listed, but they won't affect the rating of the burger.  So, for instance, a bad side of fries won't affect the rating of the burger, but I will still tell you about them.

I will also go back and redo my previous ratings to make them fit the new system.  This may raise or lower some of the ratings, but I want everything to be consistent.  This will also allow me to rate different burger combinations at the same restaurant without reinventing everything.
