Fixed some of the restaurants that had broken information due to special characters, like GF. Updated the ReadMe file with the fix for future pulls.

+## Data Entry Guide
+
+Each year's restaurant data is stored as a JavaScript array (`const RESTAURANTS = [...]`) inline in `restaurant-picker.html`. The source data comes from the [IRW restaurant listing pages](https://inlanderrestaurantweek.com/restaurants/). This section covers the data schema and common pitfalls to avoid when entering or updating restaurant records.
+
+### Restaurant Object Schema
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "Restaurant Name",
+  "slug": "restaurantname",
+  "price": 35,
+  "areas": ["Downtown"],
+  "cuisine": "Italian",
+  "url": "https://inlanderrestaurantweek.com/project/restaurantname/",
+  "menu": {
+    "hours": "Menu served Tue-Sat, 5 pm-close",
+    "phone": "(509) 555-1234",
+    "courses": {
+      "First Course": [
+        { "name": "Dish Name", "desc": "Ingredients and description GF" }
+      ],
+      "Second Course": [
+        { "name": "Dish Name", "desc": "Ingredients and description" }
+      ],
+      "Third Course": [
+        { "name": "Dish Name", "desc": "Ingredients and description V+" }
+      ]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Field notes:**
+- `slug` — lowercase, no spaces or special characters; used as an internal identifier
+- `price` — must be `25`, `35`, or `45` (the three IRW price tiers)
+- `areas` — array; a restaurant can belong to more than one area (e.g. `["Downtown", "Coeur d'Alene"]`)
+- `phone` — use empty string `""` if not listed
+- Each course is an **array** — restaurants sometimes offer a choice of two or more dishes per course; add one object per option
+
+### Valid Area Values
+
+```
+Airway Heights    Athol         Coeur d'Alene   Downtown
+Hayden            Liberty Lake  North Spokane   Post Falls
+South Spokane     Spokane Valley  West Spokane  Worley
+ID (Coeur d'Alene-area catch-all)
+```
+
+### Valid Cuisine Values
+
+```
+American  Asian  Barbecue  Bistro  Eclectic  European  French
+Fusion  Gastropub  German  Indian  Irish  Italian  Latin
+Mediterranean  Mexican  Middle Eastern  Northwest  Pizza
+Seafood  Southern  Steakhouse  Thai
+```
+
+New cuisine types can be added, but check existing values first to keep filters consistent.
+
+### Dietary Tags
+
+Dietary tags go at the **end of the `desc` field**, separated by a space. Multiple tags are space-separated.
+
+| Tag | Meaning |
+|-----|---------|
+| `GF` | Gluten Free |
+| `GFA` | Gluten Free Available (on request or with substitution) |
+| `V` | Vegetarian |
+| `V+` | Vegan |
+| `DF` | Dairy Free |
+
+**Examples:**
+```
+"desc": "Mixed greens, candied walnuts, goat cheese, balsamic vinaigrette GF V"
+"desc": "House pasta with roasted vegetables – sub GF pasta available GFA V"
+"desc": "Coconut curry with tofu and seasonal vegetables V+ GF DF"
+```
+
+Tags that are inline notes within a description (e.g. `– sub GF crust for additional charge`) are fine to leave mid-sentence; only the primary applicable tags belong at the end.
+
+### Common Data Entry Pitfall: Dietary Tag as Dish Name
+
+The IRW website displays a dietary icon **before** the dish name. When copying menu data, it is easy to accidentally paste the dietary tag as the `name` field and run the dish name directly into the start of `desc` with no separator.
+
+**Wrong (broken):**
+```json
+{ "name": "GFA", "desc": "Margherita PizzaSan Marzano Tomato Sauce. Fresh Mozzarella." }
+```
+
+**Correct:**
+```json
+{ "name": "Margherita Pizza", "desc": "San Marzano Tomato Sauce. Fresh Mozzarella. GFA" }
+```
+
+Signs that an entry has this problem:
+- The `name` field is just a dietary tag (`"GF"`, `"GFA"`, `"V+"`, etc.)
+- The `desc` field starts with what looks like a dish name run together with the description (no space or punctuation between them, e.g. `"Chocolate TorteA rich slice of flourless paradise"`)
+
+### Special Characters
+
+The data lives inside a JavaScript string, so be careful with quotation marks inside descriptions. Use a **curly/smart right double-quote** (`"`, U+201D) for inch marks (e.g. `7" pizza`) rather than a straight ASCII `"`, which would break the JS string delimiters. Em dashes (`–`) and curly apostrophes (`'`) from the source website copy fine as-is.
+
+**Critical: field delimiters must be straight ASCII double quotes.** Some editors and AI tools auto-correct straight `"` to curly `"` / `"` (U+201C / U+201D). If curly quotes end up wrapping property names or values (e.g. `"name"` instead of `"name"`), JavaScript will fail to parse the entire `RESTAURANTS` array and no restaurants will appear in the app. Always verify that the structural quotes in the data use the straight ASCII `"` character (U+0022).
