Chowhound

Chowhound

Chowhound is a popular online food discussion board founded by Jim Leff in 1997, known for its user base of opinionated food fanatics. In 2006, Leff sold the board to CNET Networks, which took over and redesigned the site, merging it with CHOW magazine but keeping the chowhound.com domain name and its busy forums, grouped by locale.

Book series

Penguin USA has published two Chowhound restaurant guides, The Chowhound's Guide to the San Francisco Bay Area and The Chowhound's Guide to the New York Tristate Area.
