Chowhound (or chowhound.com) was a food website owned by Red Ventures. It ceased operations on March 28, 2022.
Chowhound
Chowhound was a popular online food discussion board founded by jazz trombonist[1] and food writer[2] Jim Leff and Bob Okumura in 1997, known for its user base of food fanatics. In 2006, Leff and Okumura sold the site to CNET Networks,[3] which redesigned it and merged it with CHOW magazine, keeping its busy forums, grouped by locale. After CNET was merged into CBS Interactive in 2008, the original chowhound.com domain was restored and CHOW was eliminated. It was bought by Red Ventures, in 2020.[4][5]
In March, 2022, Red Ventures announced the site would close after 25 years online.[6] Its closure was covered by the New York Times[7], among other media.
Book series
Penguin USA 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.[8]
