Showcase & travel

7 shows

"Not closed" counts places recorded open plus those renamed, relocated or under new owners, as a share of the show's places with a settled status; "changed" is the renamed, relocated and new-owner part. Showcase shows visit places that were already popular, so they list the count and the closures rather than a survival figure.

How this works

One sentence, dated and sourced

Every restaurant page leads with one sentence: the status, the date we checked it, and the source that claim rests on. We never publish a bare, undated "closed."

Verified by rule, not by guess

The Editorial & Corrections Policy sets out exactly what evidence a status needs before it is published, and what counts as closed.

Corrections are first-class

If something here is wrong, tell us. Corrections are a first-class part of how this site is maintained, not an afterthought.
