TableJourney is edited by Lewis Vaughan, with help from a research pipeline that combines on-the-ground sources, AI-assisted synthesis, and a human-verified provenance block on every entity. Every city is signed off by the editor before it ships.
The desk
The byline you will see on city guides, signature-dish writeups and topic pages is Lewis Vaughan. The editor of record is currently Lewis Vaughan on every city. He reads the city as a reader would, catches the factual drift, and signs off before publish.
How a piece gets written
Research populates the twenty-four food chapters with verified entities, each with a source URL, a quoted address from that source, an open-status check, and a checked-on date. The editor reviews the chapter end-to-end, catches the patterns automated checks miss (a tone issue, a missed anchor venue, a factual claim that does not survive a second source), corrects, and signs off. The full pipeline is documented on the methodology page.
Standards
The full editorial standards live on the editorial standards page: how we decide what to cover, how we handle gifts and comped meals, how we handle errors.
