Can we talk about the 'ask a local' advice you get on travel sites?
I was reading a forum thread for a trip to Savannah. Someone asked where to get good fried chicken. The top reply was just 'The Lady & Sons'. That place is a tourist trap. It's packed, overpriced, and the food is not great. A real local would have said to go to a spot like Mrs. Wilkes' Dining Room. It made me think, how much of that 'local' advice online is actually from locals? Or is it just other tourists repeating what they read? Has anyone else noticed this and found a better way to get real tips?

You have to look for the details in the answer. A real local will mention a side street or a specific dish to order. Generic praise for a famous spot is usually a red flag.
