The trust engine

Every pick is signed.

Our authors are named chefs, sommeliers, and hoteliers whose reputations are the product. They visit anonymously, pay their own bills, sign a conflict-of-interest disclosure, and can never be bought. A venue cannot pay for a badge, a ranking, or a listing — ever. And Jetlagged the brand is never itself an author — every endorsement belongs to a named person.

    Not a chef nor patissier — just a professional eater. That passion for food ran far enough that several institutions now trust him on their judging panels, and more than a few chefs count him a friend.

    Le Cordon Bleu & Swiss hospitality-school graduate

    A whole life spent in hospitality — a graduate of both Le Cordon Bleu and a Swiss hospitality university. Every visit runs on one simple, slightly unreasonable hunger: food that isn’t just good, but extremely good. Will happily skip a museum for the right dessert.
