What inputs do I need for the Illustrated City Food Map prompt?

Can I customise the Illustrated City Food Map prompt for my market?
Yes. Replace the bracketed placeholders with details specific to your market — district, price range, project name, language. The prompt structure works equally well for Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia.

Yes, but vary the caption — LinkedIn rewards thought-leadership commentary, IG rewards a tight one-liner.
