Private by design

No account, no ads, and no analytics of our own.

  • No analytics of our ownFork Folks has no analytics, advertising or tracking code of its own. The map is drawn by Google Maps, which collects some device and usage data under Google's Privacy Policy.
  • No accountNo sign-up, no email, no password.
  • Location only when you tap Near meUsed on your phone to center the map and find the nearest city. Fork Folks never stores it or sends it to us. The map then loads that area from Google Maps.
  • Saved spots stay on your phoneYour saved spots, Been there checks and trips are kept on your device only.
  • What goes onlineThe map, from Google Maps, which receives your IP address, device details and a Google Maps identifier under Google's Privacy Policy. And one small public list of closed restaurants from thenewsbakery.com: the request carries no account, identifier or cookie, but like any website our server sees the IP address it came from.

Questions

Is it a subscription?

No. Fork Folks is $4.99 once when it launches (coming soon to iPhone and Android), and every feature is yours. There is no subscription, nothing else to buy, and no ads.

Which cities does it cover?

Version 1.0 covers seven cities: New York City, Los Angeles, Seattle, Greater Houston, Chicago, New Orleans and Greater Austin, plus stops along I-5 and I-10 for road trips. It is a list of open spots, not a record of each place a show ever visited.

How do you know a place is still open?

Hide places that have closed unless you turn on Show closed places. If you find a closed place, tap Report a problem.

Does it need internet?

The map needs a connection to load. The restaurant list ships inside the app, so the list and the details work without a signal; directions in your maps app need one.

Does it track my location?

No. Fork Folks uses your location only when you tap Near me, on your phone, to center the map. Fork Folks never stores your location or sends it to us. The built-in Google map and the maps app you open for directions follow their own privacy policies.

Is this connected to the TV shows or their hosts?

No. Fork Folks is an independent, fan-made guide. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by any host, network or production company.

How do I get help or report a closed place?

Tap Report a problem on any spot, or email chef@thenewsbakery.com. More answers are on the support page.

Fork Folks is an independent fan-made guide. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or partnered with any host, creator, their estate, any TV network, video channel or production company.
