Taste Ocean City, band by band

The same corpus as the graph, laid flat and traceable by hand. Pick what you’re reporting on — this view opens on how the kitchens cook, preparations over ingredients — and the board rebuilds as bands of pills. Hover or tap any pill to light everything it touches across the bands; the panel then lists every kitchen that serves it, by district.

Nothing here is authored: every pill and every connection was derived from the menus themselves. A pill with no kitchens under it is a node the corpus knows about but has not yet seen served — which is a coverage statement, not an absence.
