The Infatuation (formerly known as Immaculate Infatuation) is an American New York–based restaurant recommendation website and messaging service, created by former music industry executives Chris Stang and Andrew Steinthal in 2009. They are most known for publishing restaurant reviews and guides, and as creators of the hashtag #EEEEEATS.[1]
They have developed an Android and iPhone app,[2] and operate an SMS-based restaurant recommendation service called Text Rex.[3] In 2017 they launched their food and music festival brand EEEEEATSCON.[4]
On March 6, 2018, the company acquired the Zagat rating company from Google for an undisclosed amount.[5]
On September 9, 2021, the company was acquired by JPMorgan Chase & Co.[6]
