Frequently Asked Questions
Can ChowPR pitch national media for Philadelphia restaurants?
Yes. Philadelphia is increasingly on national food media's radar — Bon Appétit, Food & Wine, and the NYT regularly feature Philly restaurants. We include national outlets when your restaurant has a hook strong enough to land there.
Does ChowPR cover South Philly, Fishtown, and other neighbourhoods?
Yes — we pitch neighbourhood-specific media and target writers who cover distinct Philadelphia neighbourhoods. Fishtown, East Passyunk, Old City, and South Philly each have dedicated coverage.
Is Philadelphia competitive for restaurant PR?
Moderately — less so than NYC or DC, which means a well-pitched restaurant gets more attention per pitch. It's an excellent market for PR investment.
