01 · THE TOOL

So, how are you feeling?

All four groups are optional — the more you pick, the sharper the draw. “What happened today” sets the mood only; it never affects the result. You can also pair the dish with a dessert or a drink.

Pick your state on the left and hit “Decide for me” — or ignore everything and go “Totally random”.

02 · HOW IT WORKS

Three steps to dinner

STEP 01

Tick your state

Mood, weather, craving, preference — pick as many or as few as you like.

STEP 02

Weighted matching

Every selection scores against each dish's tags; the top three matches are shortlisted.

STEP 03

Fate decides

One dish is drawn from the top three — so “draw again” always feels a little fresh.

Sticky notes

“What happened today” is stored by date in your own browser: review it, edit it, or export it as a sticky-note PNG. Never uploaded, never online.

05 · FAQ

Questions

How does the recommendation work?

Your mood, weather, craving and preference are weighted-matched against each dish's tags. The top three matches are shortlisted, then one is drawn at random — so the same inputs can still give slightly different results.

Does “what happened today” affect the result?

Not at all. It only creates a mood line, and is saved by date in your browser so you can review, edit or export it as a sticky-note image.

What does “totally random” do?

It ignores every selection and draws uniformly from the entire library. Pure fate.

Is my data uploaded anywhere?

No. The page is pure front-end with zero network requests; notes live only in your browser's localStorage and disappear if you clear it.

What is the “add-on” option?

Pick “Add a dessert” or “Add a drink” in the ADD-ON row, and after the main dish is drawn you'll also get one from the dessert or drinks library. “Surprise me” randomly decides whether to add one and what it is. The main dish and the add-on are independent.

How big is the meal library?

900+ everyday dishes across 36 categories: home cooking, regional cuisines, street food, hot pot & BBQ, Japanese / Korean / Southeast Asian, Western classics (steaks, pasta, paella, fish & chips), light meals, desserts and breakfast.

Do I get different dishes abroad?

Yes. The page detects your region locally from your browser's time zone and language (no network, nothing uploaded): visitors from Europe and the Americas get a gentle boost toward Western dishes, including in “Totally random”. Users elsewhere see the original mix.

ABOUT

About "What to Eat Today"

What to Eat Today is a tiny, playful, instantly-usable random meal picker. It turns the daily “what should I eat for lunch / dinner / a midnight snack” spiral into a small draw: tell it your mood (happy, low, stressed, homesick, tired, late-night), the weather (hot, cold, rainy), your craving (spicy, sweet, umami, meaty, light) and preference (noodles, carbs, clean eating, solo, party, date), and it picks one dish from home-style dishes, regional classics, street snacks, hot pot & BBQ, Japanese, Korean, Western and Southeast Asian food, light meals and desserts.

The library is compiled from public sources and now holds 900+ everyday dishes: red-braised pork, mapo tofu, luosifen, Lanzhou beef noodles, Peking duck, Chaoshan beef hot pot — plus a rich lineup of Western classics: Wellington steak, Spanish paella, beef bourguignon, fish & chips, BBQ ribs, buffalo wings, lasagna, Margherita pizza, New York cheesecake. Everyday food you can actually order or cook.

The tool also adapts to your region: visitors from European or American time zones will see Western dishes get a gentle boost in the draw, while everyone else enjoys the original East-meets-West mix. Everything runs locally in your browser — no signup, no network, no tracking. “What happened today” stays on your device and can be exported as a sticky-note image.
