For the press.

If you've found your way here from a copy desk, welcome. Everything you need to write about Harry Hungry is below. If something's missing, ask.

What this is

The product, in a paragraph.

Harry Hungry is an opinionated restaurant guide. You ask where to eat; he gives you ten places with two scores apiece — a Harry Hungry Score (how good it is) and a Worth It Score (whether you'll be glad you paid). He reads Google, Yelp, Tripadvisor and the critics who actually go for a living, weights them by trust, flags it when the sources disagree, and adds his own grumpy filter. He doesn't take affiliate fees. He doesn't sell ads. He has opinions, and that's the product.

  • “Every restaurant gets two scores: how good it is, and whether you'll be glad you paid. Most guides forget the second one.”
