For restaurants

Get featured, if you clear the bar.

Put your restaurant in front of people who trust where they eat. We do not feature everyone, and that is exactly why being featured means something. We bring the audience, you run the kitchen.

The Featured package

What a feature includes

One package. The whole machine pointed at your restaurant.

The film

Our crew rolls in and films your kitchen, your team, and the dish worth driving for. Your story, told right.

The photography

Professional photos of your food and your space that you keep and use on your own site, socials, and menus.

The reach

We push your feature across the Chowdown audience and the show, in front of everyone planning where to eat.

The platform

A profile on a trusted food map people actually use to decide where to go, at home or on the road.

The marketing program

The feature gets you found. The program keeps you there. Ongoing SEO, social, and content that turn one feature into steady traffic, month after month.

One feature. Crew, content, and reach.

No drip fees, no mystery. We will walk you through exactly what is included on a quick call, and tell you straight if you are a fit.

Why this beats a generic ad

You are not buying an ad. You are buying trust.

People ignore ads. They follow recommendations they believe. Here is why a feature on Chowdown converts when a boosted post does not.

  • The map is vetted, not open to anyone. Every restaurant clears the standard before it is featured. That is why people trust what they see on it.
  • Because the map means something, being on it means something. You borrow the trust the whole platform has built, instead of shouting into a feed.
  • And if the crew rolls in and films you in person, you can be crowned a Local Legend, the one tier you cannot ask for.

The trust you stand next to

Vetted and independent, with Local Legend as the crown you can only earn. That is the standard your feature gets to stand next to.

Roadside inspection
