Created by Another Believer (talk) and Luiysia (talk). Nominated by Luiysia (talk) at 19:24, 28 July 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Kasama (restaurant); consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

• welcome to dyk, Luiysia!
  • general:
    • article is new enough and long enough.
    • the article was actually created by Another Believer a few days ago, but since you expanded it more than fivefold within a few hours of its creation, i believe the article could either qualify as a fivefold expansion by you, or a creation by you and Another Believer. i am currently assuming that you had meant to nominate the article as a joint creation but had trouble figuring out how to do so, so i have edited the credits to include Another Believer. please let me know if i have assumed incorrectly. also, when nominating an article that was recently created or improved by another editor, it is often a good idea to ping the other editor as a courtesy, so i have done so here. (i don't think this is mentioned anywhere in the rules of dyk, so would not have expected you to know this.)
  • policy: article is neutral and sourced. earwig shows nothing of concern. spot checks of at least three different sources did not reveal any close paraphrasing.
  • qpq: not required.
  • hook:
    • hook is under 200 characters, interesting, accurate, cited, and neutral.
    • the hook originally used the phrase "the Chicago restaurant". this was shortened by another editor to "the Chicago's". i believe the "the" before "Chicago's" is now unnecessary. alternatively, i thought the original phrasing was also fine.
  • points outside of the dyk criteria:
    • i feel like the second sentence in the lead could have some redundancy removed. i would cut out "The restaurant has received a Michelin star, making", convert the remaining part into a sentence by capitalizing "it" and adding "is" after it, and add the link removed back to the remaining instance of "Michelin".
    • the article lead seems rather long compared with the article body. perhaps it would be better to move some of the lead into the body by inserting a section heading after the first paragraph of the lead. i am not sure what the new section should be titled, but "Concept" seems appropriate.
    • i would suggest that "best restaurant of 2022" be qualified as "best new restaurant of 2022", as the james beard source makes a similar qualification. it was difficult for me to believe that a restaurant with one michelin star would be considered one of the best restaurants of the year.

alt0 approved, with the caveat that the "the" before "Chicago's" should be dropped, or the original phrasing "the Chicago restaurant" (instead of "the Chicago's") should be restored.

note to promoters: the source provided above does not support the hook, only calling kasama "the only Michelin-starred Filipino restaurant in America". however, the michelin guide itself supports this hook, as noted in one of the two michelin guide sources cited in the article itself. dying (talk) 17:12, 29 July 2023 (UTC) [copyedited nomination statement and added comment re section heading. dying (talk) 17:49, 29 July 2023 (UTC)]

@Dying and Luiysia: I erased "the" from the hook. I am able to confirm the hook. Bruxton (talk) 14:52, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
