# Local restaurant visit with on-screen dish labels

A food and nutrition format, measured November 8, 2026 by Volume. https://tryvolume.app/working/food-and-nutrition/local-restaurant-visit-with-on-screen-dish-labels

Film a restaurant visit dish by dish, with the restaurant location and each dish name labeled on screen. It worked for 3 accounts, with a median of 23x their usual reach. Type: Editing trick. Seen as: Talking head, Video.

## Why it works

The location and dish names make the video work as a searchable local food guide.

## How to make it

1. Put the restaurant and city in the hook
2. Show each dish as it arrives
3. Label every dish on screen
4. Say your pick or verdict

## Hook formula

[Restaurant] just opened in [city]. Here's everything we ate

## How this is measured

- Every post is compared with its own account's usual reach, not with other accounts. "14x their usual" means the post got 14 times the median views of that account's recent posts.
- TikTok videos and Instagram Reels are measured on views. Instagram carousels have no view count, so they are measured on likes against the account's usual likes, and say so.
- A post makes the library at 2x its account's usual or more. A format is a repeatable move (what is said or shown, or how it is edited) that several accounts used in breakout posts. It is listed here once it worked for 3 or more different accounts.
- Formats rank on how many accounts they worked for and how far above usual, damped so a fluke on one tiny account cannot outrank a format that worked for ten.
