Wishful Tastes

Your epicurean bucket list for every “we should try that” moment.

Wishful Tastes keeps all your someday meals in one place — from big‑deal reservations to hole‑in‑the‑wall finds and recipes you keep meaning to bake. Drop in restaurants, dishes, events, or bakes you want to try, add notes and links, and let the GPT track what you’re craving, what you’ve enjoyed, and what’s up next.

Opens in ChatGPT in a new tab. Best experienced with your notes, lists, or files handy.

What this Tool‑ette does

A dedicated home for the restaurants, dishes, and food adventures you want to experience — before, during, and after the plate hits the table.

Core purpose

Wishful Tastes keeps a running, structured list of restaurants, dishes, and food events you want to experience. It turns scattered screenshots and “we should go there” messages into one organized bucket list you can actually act on.

Best for

Great for food‑loving couples planning date nights, solo diners building a “next up” list, travelers collecting city‑by‑city eats, and anyone who keeps losing restaurant ideas in group chats, bookmarks, and photos.

Inputs & outputs

You bring in names of restaurants or dishes, links to menus or reservation pages, screenshots, price notes, locations, and little “someday” comments. Wishful Tastes turns them into sortable lists with categories, reminders, completion status, and export‑ready tables you can reuse anywhere.

Core functions (Leaves)

The concrete things Wishful Tastes does to keep your future meals organized.

  • FUNCTION⚙️ (🍃Leaf) – Categorized wishlists: Capture dream dishes, restaurants, and food events and group them by city, cuisine, occasion, or whatever makes sense to you.
  • FUNCTION⚙️ (🍃Leaf) – Context & logistics: Store location details, price notes, links to menus or reservation pages, and timing notes so planning a night out takes a few clicks, not a scavenger hunt.
  • FUNCTION⚙️ (🍃Leaf) – Visual inspiration: Attach screenshots or photos from social, blogs, or menus and log them right alongside the wish so you remember what made it look so good.
  • FUNCTION⚙️ (🍃Leaf) – Smart reminders: Set gentle reminders for booking windows, seasonal specials, festivals, or travel dates so must‑try experiences don’t quietly expire.
  • FUNCTION⚙️ (🍃Leaf) – Completion & reflection: Mark experiences as completed, add ratings and quick notes, and build a record of what you loved, what you’d skip, and what you want to revisit.
  • FUNCTION⚙️ (🍃Leaf) – Someday food journal: Use a light “Someday I’d like to…” log for cravings, recipes you want to attempt, and big food trips you’d like to plan when the time is right.

Why use this instead of vanilla ChatGPT?

Because Wishful Tastes already thinks like a food bucket list, not a blank chat box.

Pre‑tuned brain

Wishful Tastes arrives with a built‑in schema for restaurants, dishes, events, locations, screenshots, reminders, and completion status. It protects your lists, asks clarifying questions instead of overwriting entries, and keeps the tone warm and encouraging while you build out your foodie map.

Suite‑aware & ecosystem‑ready

As part of the Glee‑fully Tasty Tracker branch, this GPT knows it’s the wishlist twig. It can hand off to Flavor Meister for recipes you’ve actually cooked, Menu Conductor for turning wishes into menus, Pantry Shopper for ingredients, and Palatably Profiled for tracking what your household tends to love.

Repeatable, export‑friendly workflows

Every entry can follow a repeatable template, making it easy to sort by priority, city, budget, or occasion. Wishful Tastes can generate next‑up shortlists, export tables to CSV or spreadsheets, and reshape your wishlist into shareable lists or planning docs with just a couple of prompts.

Getting started

Start with one craving or one city and let the rest grow from there.

  1. Step 1 – Arrive with something small. Think of one upcoming night out, trip, or craving — then tell Wishful Tastes a few places or dishes you already have in mind.
  2. Step 2 – Paste or upload. Paste in your saved restaurant list, screenshots from social, bookmarks, or notes. Ask the GPT to pull out names, locations, links, and notes and add them to your wishlist.
  3. Step 3 – Choose a path. Ask it to organize your list by neighborhood, price, or vibe; build a “top 5 to try next” shortlist; or suggest themed runs like date nights, solo treat days, or out‑of‑town guests.
  4. Step 4 – Save what matters. Copy the generated table or list into your notes app, calendar, or task manager, or have Wishful Tastes export a CSV so your food bucket list travels with you.
