"I spent 40 years running restaurants — from line cook to VP of Operations. I watched talented operators fail not because they weren't working hard enough, but because they didn't have the right information at the right time. I built the original version of these tools in 2007 to run my own restaurants. This is what I wish had existed when I needed it."
— Gary Van Gundy · Founder, Restaurant Hotline Plus
Gastrablog is the after-hours side of restaurant life. A curious, hungry, slightly obsessed guide to restaurants, bars, food culture, challenges, and the stories that bring them to life.
Some days we're chasing the best burger in town. Some days we're celebrating a neighborhood institution. And some days we're watching someone attempt a food challenge they probably shouldn't.
Wherever great food, great drinks, and great stories come together — you'll probably find us there.
