More often than not, tipsters, readers, friends and family of Eater have one question: Where should I eat right now? Restaurant obsessives want to know what's new, what's hot, which favorite chef just launched a sophomore effort, where to sip the it cocktail. Thus, we offer the Eater Heatmap, which will change often to highlight where the Louisville foodie crowds are flocking to at the moment. (Update: the restaurants are listed not by rank, but in the order in which this editor got around to finishing their descriptions. Sorry for any confusion.)

As this post is the first Eater Louisville Heatmap, every restaurant is a new entry. Congratulations, restauranteurs, you broke your cherry!
