East End Restaurants and Chefs on TV Food Maps
No less than 14 East End restaurants appear on TVFoodMaps.com, a website featuring eateries from television food programs.
Each restaurant is marked on the map with a red pin, which opens a window listing its name and the show on which it appeared. Further clicking reveals more information, including menus, hours and photos, as well as video clips from the restaurant’s episode. Users can search by city or television show, or simply by looking at a particular region on the map.
This interesting new website shows why the Hamptons and the East End region is literally “on the map” for foodies nationwide. It’s also a good indication of what our local chefs, like Rachael Ray and Ina Garten are doing to promote restaurants on the Twin Forks!
