The press the machines actually read

Every time an AI answer engine recommends a Dallas restaurant, it cites its sources. We keep the receipts. This is the ranked list of publications and individual articles the engines pulled from — which is, in practice, the list of places worth getting written about.

Gemini caveat — 20 of these citations come back as opaque Google redirect links with no readable destination. For those, we know the publication but not the article, so they are counted here and left out of the article list rather than shown as dead links.

Venues named alongside it

Rooms the engines named in the same answers that cited this source. Co-occurrence, not proof of cause — but it is the shape of the influence.

Method

We ask the AI answer engines the questions diners actually ask, on a schedule, and store every answer with its citations. The counts above are citation rows — one per source URL an engine attached to an answer — scoped to the most recent complete observation run.

"Editorial" versus "directory" is our judgement call, applied by domain and tuned as the corpus grows. Editorial means a publication with an editor: a place a restaurant can be pitched. Directory means an aggregator, listing site, OTA, or user-generated platform — visible, but not pitchable.

Publication dates and bylines come from each cited page's own structured data — the publisher's JSON-LD, then its OpenGraph tags. We fetch politely, once per second, identify ourselves, and stop asking any site that declines. Where a page declares no date we say so; we never estimate one. The exception is Reddit, which refuses crawlers but encodes a post's position in its own submission counter in the URL — those dates are arithmetic, accurate to roughly a day, and marked approximate wherever they appear.
