The insight

Built for the food-obsessed, not the average eater.

Yelp & Google

Optimize for the average

Millions of drive-by ratings from people passing through. The safe pick floats to the top. The tourist trap wins.

forkd

Optimizes for locals

Real signal from people who eat here every week. The spot locals swear by rises — even if it never made a single "best of" list.

What you get

Everything you need to eat like you live here.

Discover

A feed built around real local signal — not tourist ratings. See what people who actually live here can't stop eating.

Spin

Can't decide? Spin the wheel and go. One tap picks your next meal from spots worth the drive.

Eatlists

Spotify-style saved lists you build and share. "Best patios," "cheap late-night," "impress a date" — your city, curated.

Local Fav badges

Earned by real local reviews, never bought. When locals rate a spot higher than everyone else, it earns the badge. Local Fav

First city

We're starting in Phoenix.

Our founder's a local, so this is home turf. We'd rather nail one city's real food scene than spread thin across fifty. Phoenix first — from the strip-mall gems to the spots that never show up in a travel guide.

More cities will come once Phoenix loves it. Consider this your head start.
