smackin vs The Critic List

Every menu on here got filmed, not typed. Somebody walked into the place, ordered, shot what showed up — and now that's the menu. The dish, what it ran them, and the clip it came from. The restaurant didn't upload a thing. Plenty of dishes nobody's filmed yet. Shoot one first and your name stays on it, however big that dish gets later. The Top 40 resets every night on what your city is eating right now, not what's been popular since 2019. Trucks, pop-ups, somebody's home kitchen, a cart parked outside a laundromat, all of it counts. Chains don't, ever. See something you want, tap it, and we hand you to DoorDash or Uber Eats with the dish already picked. Run a kitchen? Claiming it costs nothing, your menu fills itself in from footage people already shot, and we don't take a cut of anything.

The critics' picks — The New York Times, Michelin, James Beard, Eater, your city's paper — in one place. Mark a restaurant once and it's marked on every list it appears on. See what's near you, where the critics agree, and how far you've gotten through the lists you care about. We don't write the lists — the critics do. Every place links straight back to the original article. WHAT YOU CAN DO • The critics' lists, together — NYT, Michelin, James Beard, Eater, the SF Chronicle, the LA Times, and more. • Mark once, tracked everywhere — "Been" and "Want to go" live on the restaurant, so they follow it across every list it's on. • Critics' Consensus — instantly see the places the most critics agree on. • Near me — what's worth it right where you're standing. • Search everything at once — restaurants, lists, and cuisines in one search. • Your Year in Food — a shareable recap of where you've eaten. • Reserve a table — jump straight to booking on OpenTable or Resy. Free. No ads. We never sell your data. Everything works on your device; make an account only if you want to sync across your phone and laptop. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT The lists come from people who do this for a living, not a feed. We're not a publisher, so we can show you the critics' lists side by side — and we never reproduce a ranking or a review. We simply report that a place was featured, and link you straight back to the source. Restaurants are just the beginning.
