About this app

Every food app tells you where to eat. What to Eat In tells you what to eat: the dishes a place is famous for, why they matter, and how to order them like you belong.

It is a pocket field guide to a country's food, curated dish by dish and built to work with no signal. Explore the entire USA guide free, then unlock every other guide with a single subscription.

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT

- Curated, not crowdsourced. One country at a time, done end to end. We tell you what would be a crime to miss.
- How to order, handled. Every dish carries its local name, script, and pronunciation. Point, say it, or show the server.
- Fully offline. Download a guide once and read it on the train, on airplane mode, or with no bars at all.
- The Dish Passport. Check off dishes as you try them and watch the map ink in with every meal. A food bucket list you finish.
- Your Dietary Card. Set your restrictions once and show a clear card in the local language, naming hidden carriers like dashi and the wheat in soy sauce.
- The story on the plate. Where a dish comes from, why it matters. How to find the real version instead of the tourist trap.

WHAT IS INSIDE THE GUIDES

The free USA guide runs from New England clam chowder and Louisiana gumbo to Texas brisket, Kansas City burnt ends, Chicago deep dish, the Philly cheesesteak, the Mission burrito, Sonoran hot dogs, and Hawaiian poke and plate lunch.

Japan is the deepest guide. Takoyaki and okonomiyaki in Osaka, Edomae sushi and monjayaki in Tokyo, tonkotsu ramen in Fukuoka, Sapporo miso ramen, hitsumabushi in Nagoya, Hiroshima oysters, Sanuki udon, Okinawa soba and rafute. Every entry carries the Japanese name, kanji, and pronunciation.

The same subscription opens Italy, Thailand, Malaysia, Peru, Mexico, China, France, Greece, India, Spain, South Korea, Vietnam and Argentina, with more added as each is finished.

THE DIETARY CARD

Traveling with restrictions is hard. Pick yours from vegetarian, vegan, pescatarian, gluten and celiac, halal, kosher, lactose intolerance, and allergies to shellfish, fish, egg, milk, peanut, tree nuts, sesame, soy and buckwheat. Pick any combination and the app builds a clear card in the local language. The card names the hidden carriers a traveler would never guess: dashi in a vegetarian broth, wheat-based soy sauce in a gluten-free order, oyster sauce in a safe-looking stir-fry. Hand your phone to the server and they know exactly what to avoid.

THE DISH PASSPORT

Every dish is a stamp waiting to be collected. Check off the gumbo, the ramen, the okonomiyaki as you try them and watch the map fill in. Star your favorites, jot a note while the taste is fresh. Build a food diary across every trip.

THE PHRASEBOOK AND MENU SCANNER

The built-in phrasebook covers the food words you need: how to ask for the check, how to ask for an English menu, how to say that was delicious. Every phrase comes with the local script and a pronunciation. Point your camera at a menu and the app reads the dishes off the photo and matches them to the guide. Both run on your device, so they work in a basement ramen shop with no signal.

DESIGNED FOR TRAVEL

What to Eat In is an app for the ground, not the home feed. Every guide downloads once and works offline. Browse the free guide without an account. No ads, no reviews, no endless scroll. When you want a restaurant, we hand you to Maps for the where. Our job is the what.

Download the free USA guide and start your Passport today.
