The Critic List

the critics' picks, in one place

what it is

A restaurant tracker built around the critics' lists — the New York Times, Michelin, Eater, the James Beard Foundation, and the local critics who do this for a living. Pick a list, check off where you've been, and eat your way through the rest. 3,100+ restaurants across six cities, free.

the problem

The lists worth eating through are scattered across 66 publications — paywalled articles, screenshots, open tabs. There was no one place to see them together, keep score, and know what's left.

how it works

Choose a city — New York, San Francisco, LA, D.C., Chicago, Miami — add the lists you care about, and check off restaurants as you go. The map shows everything at once; your progress follows you between lists.
