Many are new-style restaurant chains or simple eateries.
The Coral Springs News compiled this list after looking into which restaurants are setting trends around the city. We created it with the help of artificial intelligence, asking ChatGPT on Thursday, Dec. 11, to identify five Coral Springs restaurants generating buzz on different social media sites. This is the result.
Because the list reflects real-time online attention, asking the same question next week could produce a different top five.
