Who we are

It started with a
simple frustration.

Back in 2018, Travis Setter and Brandon Quillen got tired of watching local restaurants get torched online by a single bad review. So they built something different — a community for people who love food, love their city, and want to lift up the places that make it special.

Seven years later, chwdwn is 300,000 Cincinnatians strong — and the local spots we shout out get real customers driving in from across the region because of it.

Wait — what's the
Discount Card?

The chwdwn Discount Card is your real-world key to the network. Flash it at any of our 300+ partner restaurants across Cincinnati and unlock members-only deals — different perks at different spots, refreshed often.

It's how we close the loop: you support local, local rewards you for it. [FILL IN: specific card mechanics — e.g., "10–20% off at partner spots, plus exclusive members-only drops"]

Why we're asking

Better data,
better restaurants get found.

Real talk: a Facebook group of 300k anonymous food lovers is loud, but it's not smart. We don't know who's a brunch person and who's a BBQ person. We don't know what neighborhoods need more visibility. We don't know whose birthday to surprise.

Spots near you, picked for you

Your zip + tastes = recs from the chwdwn network that fit how you actually eat.

A treat on your birthday

We'll send you something good the morning of. Just month and day — no year, no PII paranoia.

Local spots get smarter marketing

Aggregate insights help our 300+ partners reach the right diners. We never share your individual info.
