Map of The Best Thing I Ever Ate locations

Sticking with the map mashup theme of the last month, I’d like to unveil a new mashup map of all the restaurants featured in Food Networks new show “The Best Thing I Ever Ate“. The official blurb is as follows:

Ever wonder what the biggest food stars and chefs eat in their free time – when they’re paying? Find out on The Best Thing I Ever Ate! It’s the ultimate guide to the country’s most amazing meals, eats, and treats as told by the pros who spend their lives obsessing over food.

Since a good number of these restaurants are in the Bay Area I decided to make the following map of all their restaurants that will keep updating it as the show progresses. Click here to view the map in a full screen view along with a list of all the restaurants and their dishes. This should help all you foodies out there plan your trips accordingly – personally I think I’m going to start with the ones in the Bacon episode :-D

Update (21-July-2009): I got a call from David Hoffman who produces the show thanking me for making this mashup and they have now posted it on the official The Best Thing I Ever Ate blog. :D

    Um are you married? because if you’re not, I’m interested. Any man who cares enough about this biz to make a map is a man worth feeding my cooking everyday :) lol

  7. Spunk says:

    I about LOVE you for this. Send a complaint to the Food Network a while back asking why they didnt have something like this.

  8. Jeff says:

    You rock. Thanks, man!

  9. Doug says:

    This is awesome!! There are some new episodes out there. Are you planning on updating?

  10. rahulnair says:

    Thanks for the reminder Dog – I was on vacation and didn’t realise the show had restarted. It is now correct till Episode 0204 (salty Goodness) and I will keep on updating as new episodes air.

    This map is a great idea and I’ll certainly be using it…

    That being said….

    Some of these locations aren’t correct, at least in NYC. For example, the Spotted Pig, which I frequent, is certainly not in Brooklyn. It’s in Manhattan. There are a couple others in Brooklyn as well that should be in Manhattan.

    Regardless…nice map.

  12. Peter says:

    Awesome, planning a trip to new York, now I can find some of the great places I have seen about on Food Network. Thanks Again!!!!!!

    @K

    Thanks for letting me know about the spotted Pig. I’ve fixed the issue
    - looks like my automated scraping script had a bug in it. Do
    let me know if you find any other incorrect ones.

    For some reason, I cannot save your map into [My Map] for Maps.Google.com, please help!!! =[

  15. Alena says:

    Hi – great map! But i noticed an issue (well not an issue, just a ‘tag’ missing)… under Seattle you only have Lola restaurant there, However Tango Restaurant & Lounge states that “…the El Diablo dessert which was featured on the Food Network television show, Sugar Rush!”

    THUS – there should be 2 items on the map for Seattle, WA

    :)

  16. Alena says:

    oh! forgot to provide the link to that Seattle restaurant I discussed earlier:
    http://www.tangorestaurant.com/index.php

    ps – just want to say again… thank you for the map! very beneficial…

  17. rahulnair says:

    Hi Alena
    If you look at the website for the Sugar Rush episode (http://www.foodnetwork.com/the-best-thing-i-ever-ate/sugar-rush/index.html) there is no mention of any Seattle restaurants. Perhaps Tango was featured on some other show named Sugar Rush?

  18. Alena says:

    well just did Foodtv.com research… you’re so right!

  19. Gina says:

    Thanks so much! This is great

  20. Con says:

    Do you have the list is some type of cvs or something. Will be traveling with racing and we would love to hit a bunch of these. Thanks.
