About this map’s coverage

These are 20 researched starting points, not an exhaustive worldwide directory. Gray countries have no guide yet. Each guide distinguishes a local tradition from a restaurant scene and cites its sources. Food images may illustrate a style rather than a named restaurant’s serving; captions identify generated images. Place photos are credited separately.
