What is a Local Champion in the Mosey app?

A Local Champion is a title on your Mosey profile and beside your name on a rating. You earn it in Bend with five ratings, three answered Top 3 questions and one list, all in the same place. It records the work you did and never depends on the opinions you gave.

What's the best way to keep track of the Bend places I rate?

Mosey is a food app for finding, rating and sharing places to eat by the dish. Rate each Bend place as you eat, tag it, and keep your picks in a list with a note on why each belongs. Friends who follow you can see what you rate.

Does the Local Champion title depend on my opinion of Bend places?

No. The title never depends on what you say about a place, so a blunt rating counts as much as a glowing one. It is earned by rating five places, answering three Top 3 questions and making one list in Bend, and it says nothing about which places are best.

Is there a prize for being a Local Champion in Bend?

No. The Local Champion title carries no discount, prize or reward. It is a mark on your Mosey profile that shows you rated, ranked and listed places in Bend, and you can share it as a picture with your first name if you choose.

Where are my Top 3 answers kept in Mosey?

Your Top 3 answers for Bend are kept in a private Mosey list called My Bend top 3s, with a section for each question. Nobody else sees it. You can reorder your picks or replace one whenever you like, and answering three questions is enough for the title.

Local Champion Bend: Earn the Title on the High Desert

Mosey · November 11, 2026 · 5 min read

Local Champion Bend is a title in the Mosey app for the person who has eaten across a town built around the outdoors. You earn it by rating five places, answering three Top 3 questions and making one list, all in Bend. The title appears on your profile and beside your name on a rating, and it asks nothing of your taste.

What is the Local Champion Bend title?

A label on your profile and beside your name on ratings you write. You get it after rating five places, answering three Top 3 questions and making a list that includes a Bend place. It does not look at your stars. A one-star rating counts as much as a five-star one, and the title says only that you took part. You can also turn it into a picture to share.

How do you rate 5 places in Bend on a busy weekend?

A coffee on the way to the river, a taproom lunch, a food cart snack, a bakery stop and a dinner make five. Each rating needs the place and the stars; the dish, tags, photo and a few words are yours to add. Because Bend kitchens close early, a note on the hour is valuable. Tags such as Late Night, Dog-Friendly or Family Friendly help a stranger decide. The brewery guide lists ways to meet the goal in a day.

What do the Bend top 3 questions ask?

One question on each visit to the app, in plain words, such as where the best coffee, restaurant or brunch is near you. Pick up to three places and rank them. Skip any you cannot answer, though a skip does not count. Answering three is enough, and the next question waits for your next visit. The app keeps your answers in a private list named My Bend top 3s, so you can look back or change your mind.

How do you make a list in Bend that people will use?

Choose a purpose: a ski weekend, a dog-friendly crawl, a visitor's list or a gluten-free list. Name it, choose who sees it and add places with a line on why each belongs. The visitors list guide shows a structure. Invite friends so that they can add theirs.

Why does the title ignore your opinion?

Because the goal is a record, not a verdict. A town's food scene is described best by many ordinary diners saying what they ate. The title rewards the effort. A business cannot earn it or buy it, and it never ranks any place. It carries no discount or prize.

How do badges fit in?

They are separate, but they grow from the same habit. Rate five different places of one kind, such as taprooms, and you reach Sampler for that kind; ten gives Taster, twenty Expert and fifty Connoisseur. A person with a badge shows a mark beside their name, so a reader knows they have eaten widely. The Local Champion title is about a place; a badge is about a kind of food.

Can a visitor earn it?

Yes, if the trips add up. A Portland family that comes over the mountains each month can rate five places over a season. A seasonal worker at a ski resort can do it in a winter. Note in your list when a place was a one-time stop, so others know.

How can friends make a game of it?

Pick a weekend, give each person five places to rate and compare Top 3 answers over dinner. Tag the people you eat with, so they can add their own ratings. Share the title picture when you earn it. If you want a puzzle, the Ingredient game offers seven rungs to climb, with a new set every day at midnight. More places are in the US food guides.

Which Bend habits help most?

Rate soon after you eat, while the dish is clear in your mind, and note the hour, because Bend kitchens keep early hours. Keep a list open on your phone during a trip. Ask your friends where they ate last weekend. By the end of one summer or one ski season, you will have the three jobs done without ever feeling like it was work.

What does the title look like in the app? It shows on your profile as Local Champion of the place, and beside your name on ratings you write. You can share a card with the title and the numbers behind it: places rated, Top 3 questions answered and lists made. Add your first name to the card if you choose. It is a small, tidy sign of effort, and it makes a good conversation starter at the next taproom.

Why do it at all? For the record and for the people who will follow you. A town with few ratings is a town where a good new place stays hidden, and each rating from a regular makes the next search easier. The title is a thank-you for doing that work.
