IMHO, the real issue is that OSM is a map, and rating food is not map like. At its tidiest OSM would merely store the address corresponding to a geographical location, and all issues of who the current tenant of that location is, what kind of food or filth they serve would be "somebody else's problem". Of course, that would leave OSM much the poorer for a long time. But really I don't think there will be any brilliant solution within the current framework. Roads, yes. Places you can look for food, yes. Detailed information about the culinary offerings of different establishments, no.
