Standing is the recognition the archive records for each house — Michelin stars, places on the World’s 50 Best lists, James Beard and other awards — weighted by rank and recency, with menus preserved as the tie-break. A house without a page yet is named so the list is complete; its page follows as its menus are preserved.
