Baba got tired of his friends not knowing where to eat, so he made a website just for that. His friends kept trying to eat his flags though, instead of the food, so Baba masterfully hid them!
This is an inspector element.
Flag Part 1 requires inspecting the html of the website. The flag is hidden inside a hidden label
<label hidden>Flag Part 1: ISC2CTF{nOm</label>
<label hidden>Who needs frameworks when you have good old plain css</label>
Flag Part 2 is hinted to by the hint. It is found in the index.css file
/* Flag part 2: _Nom_f1a9*/
/* Js do it */
Flag Part 3 is in the javascript, as per the hint. The function is a caesar cipher, so one either needs to decrypt it, or simply run the javascript and log the result.
function flagPart3(str, shift) {
if (shift < 0) return flagPart3(str, shift + 26);
let result = '';
for (let i = 0; i < str.length; i++) {
const char = str[i];
if (char.match(/[a-z]/i)) {
const code = str.charCodeAt(i);
if (code >= 65 && code <= 90) {
result += String.fromCharCode(((code - 65 + shift) % 26) + 65);
} else if (code >= 97 && code <= 122) {
result += String.fromCharCode(((code - 97 + shift) % 26) + 97);
}
} else {
result += char;
}
}
}
flagPart3("_Mw_CYQ",-4)
Flag part 4 is located in the restaurants.json file. It is found by inspecting the requests.

I was the original author for this challenge. Was not expecting people to be confused over the flag format. I apologise if it was unclear. The code was taken from one of my existing projects, Eat Where Leh. You can visit the actual website here. It is a website to help you decide where to eat when you are indecisive.
