Learn valuable insights on apples from Brian Frange, an expert since 2016, before visiting orchards.
In 2016, Brian Frange discovered the delicious SweeTango apple at a Whole Foods in New York, which led him to create Apple Rankings, a platform dedicated to reviewing and rating different varieties of apples. Originally starting as a blog on Tumblr, Apple Rankings has now evolved into a comprehensive website that provides detailed insights and opinions on various apples.
Brian Frange, a 36-year-old TV writer and comedian from New York, currently residing in Culver City, Calif., developed his unique F100 rating scale to evaluate apples. The scale ranges from “Criminal Malfeasance” to “The Fabled ‘Immaculate Apple,’” with descriptors like “Horse Food” and “Barely Worth the Calories” in between. Factors such as taste, cost, availability, and density play a role in determining the final rating of each apple.
With over a hundred apples still awaiting rankings, Brian Frange is determined to continue his quest to rate as many apples as possible in his lifetime. He hopes that his list of apple rankings will serve as his legacy, as he humorously remarked, “Yeah, I don’t have children.”
If you are a fan of apples and want to explore new varieties or simply curious about which apples are worth trying, Apple Rankings is the go-to resource for honest and entertaining reviews. Dive into the world of apple tasting and discover the best (and worst) apples according to Brian Frange’s unique rating system.
