Where To Eat: The HEIST Food Map Unpacked

This is an episode about food! And yeah - when it comes to food, Berlin isn’t New York, and it isn’t Paris. It's never going to compete with the street food or fine dining scenes of other cities. Maybe that’s good, maybe that’s something that keeps Berlin unique. But it’s not easy to navigate Berlin’s food scene, especially when social media trends, sponsored content, and unreliable online reviews make it hard to find recommendations you can trust. In this episode, HEIST founding editor Ruthie Weissmann talks to food writers Jane Silver and Natalie Avila-Lamando. Together, they unpack what went into creating the HEIST Food Map - a curated, up-to-date guide to 80 places Berliners actually eat at. The HEIST Food Map is curated by food writers @janesilvereats and @natalieetc_, and brilliantly brought to life by @attentionvohr. Links & Resources: Explore the full HEIST Food Map. Read Natalie's feature on why Google Reviews can't be trusted. And another one on why you can't trust social media resto reviews.
