About FoodVIP
The newest tables, before everyone else.
FoodVIP is a weekly show about new restaurants in New York, Los Angeles, Miami and London. One city, about a minute, every weekday: what just opened, what is building buzz and what the paper trail says is coming next.
The show
One city, one minute
Every episode follows the same three segments, so you always know where you are. The restaurants from each episode land on this site, where you can save them, mark the ones you have been to and keep track of the episodes you have watched.
- 01
Just opened
The newest table worth the trip: what it is, who is behind it and the one dish to order.
- 02
On the radar
The place building buzz before the crowds and the critics catch on.
- 03
Coming soon
What the paper trail says is next: licence filings, permits and announcements, with the source.
Four cities
Locations
Four cities, one each weekday. Every restaurant the show covers stays listed under its city, so each city page is a running record of what opened.
Standards
How we pick
- 01
Real places only
Every table is a real restaurant, checked before the episode. Nothing on the show or this site is made up.
- 02
Always a source
Coming soon picks come from public records and announcements, such as licence and permit filings, and link to where we found them.
- 03
Nobody pays to appear
Restaurants are chosen by the show. If a segment is ever sponsored, the episode and its page say so.
- 04
Their photos, with permission
We use a restaurant’s own photos and logo with its permission and credit them. Ask and we change or remove them.
AI host
