About
About
EatWithLove.food is a map of the places that television food hosts actually ate at on camera. Not the restaurants a press office would like you to visit — the plastic stools, the night markets, the two-star counters and the roadside grills that made it into an episode.
The map currently holds 32 places, 8 hosts, 12 series and 28 cities in 8 countries. Every entry carries its own write-up, its own address and its own coordinates — there are no stub pages.
It exists because the information is scattered. An episode tells you that a host ate somewhere, but not the address. A blog post gives you an address with no way to tell where it came from. A review tells you what one person thought of the food, not whether the place is worth the trip. This site tries to put all of it in one record, for every host, in every country.
How it is built
01
Catalogue
Every venue is stored as a single JSON file with the host, the series, the address, the coordinates, the cuisine, the country and the dishes the host actually ordered.
02
Normalise
A build step validates every record against a strict schema, canonicalises the city and country names, and derives the public slug plus a Google Maps link from the coordinates.
03
Publish
A place only goes live once it has its full write-up: address verified, coordinates plotted and the dish to order named. Nothing on this site is a stub.
What each entry contains
- The venue — name, kind of place, cuisine, price band and whether it is still trading.
- Where it is — full address, city, country and coordinates, plus a direct Google Maps link.
- Why it is on the map — the host, the series and a one-line take on what made the place worth filming.
- What to order — the dishes the kitchen is actually known for, not a generic menu.
Honest limits
Kitchens close, chefs move on and small family restaurants change address without telling anyone. Where we know a place has shut for good, the entry says so. Everywhere else, treat the listing as a starting point and confirm details with the venue.
Series, hosts, networks and broadcasters are named here purely to explain why a place is worth the trip. This is an independent guide and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by any broadcaster, production company or host.
Coordinates are used to place pins and to build the map links. They are accurate enough to get you to the street, not to the table.
