Move over Yelp, there's a new "where to eat" app that is taking top dining cities in the country by storm. And in the spirit of SXSW kicking off this weekend, Chefs Feed makes its debut in Austin today as the answer for foodies and chefs looking for a credible list of not only where to eat, but what to order.

What makes this resto guide different from the rest? It's chef-powered. Chefs Feed Austin content is solely populated by recommendations from top local chefs who have come together to suggest hundreds of restaurants and dishes in one little mobile app. So instead of random reviews from anonymous diners, you're actually getting input from Austin chefs about their favorite places to eat.

Chefs Feed is a San Francisco-based company that launched five months ago as the first-of-its-kind mobile app in top dining destinations including New York, San Francisco, Chicago, Los Angeles, Washington DC, Boston, Seattle and Philadelphia. Each city includes the best dishes, from high-end to hole-in-the-wall restaurants, as recommended by that city’s most renowned chefs.

The high-caliber roster of Chefs Feed’s contributing chefs is made up of hundreds of the nation’s top chefs including Thomas Keller (French Laundry, Per Se, Bouchon), San Francisco’s Michael Mina (Restaurant Michael Mina), New York’s Mario Batali (Babbo, Lupa), Chicago’s Paul Kahan (Blackbird, Publican) and Los Angeles’s Wolfgang Puck (Spago, Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill).

And now Austin can claim the same. Want to know where Chef David Bull of Congress goes when he’s looking for a comforting plate of bœuf bourguignon? Justine’s, that vibrant east side bistro known for its flavorful French-inspired menu.

“The beef is fall-apart tender, the broth has perfect consistency, and the vegetables have just the right crunch. You can tell that when they are making this dish, it’s a labor of love,” says Bull.

The app features tab selections that allow you to view contributing chefs from Chefs Feed cities, to see chef’s favorite dishes, to search for a particular chef-selected restaurant based on cuisine or location, and an option to maintain your own profile of restaurants and dishes once you’ve checked them out — all of which can be updated to your Twitter and Facebook accounts.

“In today’s world of anonymous online food recommendations, the credibility of who’s qualified to review food is called into question,” say Chefs Feed CEO Steve Rivera. “It’s pretty simple, if you want a good recommendation for where to eat, you should ask a local. But, if you want a GREAT recommendation, you should ask a local chef. And that’s what we did.”

The free app officially launches in Austin today — through iTunes — and features at least 10 restaurant and dish suggestions from about 20 Austin chefs including: Bryce Gilmore (Barley Swine), Andrew Curren (24 Diner), Andrew Wiseheart (Contigo), David Bull (Bar Congress, Congress, Second Bar + Kitchen), Jesse Griffiths (Dai Due), Paul Qui (Uchiko) and Tyson Cole (Uchi, Uchiko).

I’ll be honest, I’m not an app-oholic. I have a certain few that I use, but I don’t spend much time searching the App Store for the latest and greatest. But I do find myself often wrestling with the same question when given a free evening to go out to eat. You know the one, “Where do you want to go eat?” It’s often answered with, “I don’t know, where do you want to eat?” But until now, I really haven’t found an app that reliably serves as the guide to help resolve that question. I really like this app.

After tinkering with Chefs Feed for a few minutes, I think it may be that solution. User-generated outlets such as Yelp are too unreliable because any Tom, Dick or Harry can be a food critic. But having well-respected chefs suggest a few of their favorites in one simple app is definitely a source I’m willing to consult. Especially since it lets them give their honest opinion rather than allowing restaurants “pay to play.”

Ever had the banana pudding at Opie's? Philip Speer of Uchi/Uchiko says it's the best. And he touts the Austin classic Dart Bowl enchiladas—haven't had those in a long while, but plan to put them on my list now! Andrew Wiseheart of Contigo loves the grilled lemongrass banh mi from Tam Deli and the gumbo at Shoal Creek Saloon. Bryce Gilmore loves the lamb fries at Olivia — just try them before you ask what they are — and the Buffalo Bill burger from Hopdoddy Burger Bar. I’ll let Chefs Feed tell you the rest.

The app will continue to expand the list of participating local chefs as well as the dishes and restaurants they suggest. And while Austin may be the first Texas town to get this nifty little restaurant finder, Houston and Dallas are soon to see Chefs Feed in their markets as well — so are Miami, Atlanta, New Orleans, Portland and Las Vegas.
