About

Cher Good Eats is where food meets culture and personal taste becomes public service.

Founded by Cher Carlton, Cher Good Eats started in 2016 as a personal challenge: try one new restaurant every week. What began as a USC student’s dining diary has grown into a trusted food media platform and lifestyle brand rooted in curiosity, community, and cultural commentary.

Whether it’s a restaurant review, a hot take on tipping culture, or a drop of dining-inspired merchandise, Cher Good Eats is for real ones who live to eat and want more from the experience. Our Google Maps Recommendation Guide has helped over 100,000 people discover their next favorite meal. Our content goes beyond aesthetics diving into service, value, and the people behind the plate.

By day, Cher is the Marketing Manager at Matfer Bourgeat USA, a French cookware company serving professional chefs across the globe. Her hands-on work in the food service industry, combined with years of media and content expertise, allows her to move fluidly between brand strategy and cultural storytelling.

Cher Good Eats is built on trust, taste, and a love for the dining world from neighborhood gems to industry-shaping conversations.
