 * Symbol question.svg Claiming this nomination, it caught my attention as I just came back from vacation in Singapore. I wonder if a better hook could be proposed here: ALT0 doesn't really make much sense to those unfamiliar with this James Beard Foundation thing, and I don't think ALT1 is that spectacular as it's not really uncommon for entrepreneurs or companies to own five or more restaurants.
