Hillary Dixler Canavan is Eater's restaurant editor and the author of the publication's debut book, Eater: 100 Essential Restaurant Recipes From the Authority on Where to Eat and Why It Matters (Abrams, September 2023). Her work focuses on dining trends and the people changing the industry — and scouting the next hot restaurant you need to try on Eater's annual Best New Restaurant list.

Here's Twitter wisdom from legendary Jeopardy champ Ken Jennings on the struggling daily deals site Groupon: "I subscribe to Groupon because it's good to know which nearby restaurants have mediocre food & will probably be out of business soon." Ouch. It's been a tough year for Groupon, who continued offering deals to restaurants that were shuttered by Hurricane Sandy, saw stock drop down 80% , and fired their CEO.
