Eats Media is a company that provides dining and restaurant information through a variety of different media vehicles. Their products include Eats.com, Eats Magazine, College Eats and EatsTV.[1] Eats Media Group was founded in 2002 by CEO Joe Ariel and Derek Beckmann.[2]

History[edit]

Eats was founded in Murray Hill, NYC as a black and white neighborhood restaurant guide. Their website remained in beta form for over a year, before it was officially launched in April 2008.[1]

Products[edit]

Eats.com[edit]

Eats.com was officially launched by Dale Wagner after partnering with Derek Beckmann and Joe Ariel. [3] It is partly a social networking site and partly a restaurant portal that allows users to search for and review restaurants from around the country.[4][5] Users can search by type of cuisine, neighborhood, or city. There is also a feature that allows users to search by restaurant features, such as late-night dining, kid friendly, pet friendly, and more. Somewhat like a "Facebook for foodies"[6] mixed with a Yelp or a Citysearch,[7] users can create a profile, add friends, list favorite restaurants, upload pictures and write messages to other users.[8] Membership is free. Users must create an account to review a restaurant, but not to read other reviews.[9] There is also a Foodie News column, featuring breaking culinary news, and an "Ask the Editors" feature so that users can get their culinary questions answered.[10]

The Eats launch party was held at Marquee in New York City on April 3, 2008, with proceeds benefiting City Harvest.[11] Fashion designer Marc Jacobs was one of the celebrity guests.[12]

There is also an Eats.com Facebook application that allows users to access their eats info from their Facebook account.[13]
