Why? What happened? Didn’t the site just get remodeled? Why the sudden closure?

What?! You just remodeled the site... I relied so much on this site. Now I feel empty. Like ordering off a value menu and wanting to spend less than $10... Where am I supposed to go now? I got no where else to go.

There are two sites i go to: The Takeout and Fast Food Club. Both are really solid.

I appreciate it Aren.

I'm still coming back here daily out of habit. Hungry for hope... But there is no hope.

My cannibalistic pizza pac-man buddy is gone. It should have been me...

Neither of them have the deals organized by date. That is how I used to plan my value eating out.

Lol, fast food club sucks, it's filled with AI garbage and all it does is scrape content online. The best are and have always been Brandeating and Fast Food Post, hands down.

Not sure what you're talking about. I think both of those sites are great as well. Brandeating and Fast Food Post are outdated and poorly written.

Not sure what you’re talking about, they’re extremely fast and well written. Also, why are you using other people’s images to create fake profiles on social sites? That’s weird.

The fast food club has a deal page that they update. I use this for my weekend splurge. haha

Right? It's so confusing. I found www.canadaeats.ca as an alternative, the content is pretty similar.

That breaks my heart Bob. I have enjoyed checking many time a day every day for new stories. I feel like I lost a friend. Farewell and good luck. I sincerely hope the best for you.

This is such heartbreaking news, even though I respect you have to make your own choices. This was my go-to site for food news and promos and Im sad to see it go. I had been following you guys for years! There will be a huge food shaped hole in the news industry. But of luck wherever the future takes you!

Is there any way you’d let someone else carry on Chewboom’s legacy if you can no longer continue to do so? This site provided the best collection of good news and was certainly my preference as compared to other sites.

You should contact Bob directly at the email contact: chewboomeditor@gmail.com. I hope it still works to get in touch with him. All they would have to do is move this to a free website and you could possibly take the reins from there.

Sorry to hear Bob. Such a surprise with all the recent design changes on the site. Best of luck where ever the winds may take you! I always enjoyed sharing interesting post with my nerdy group of friends. You'll be greatly missed, but not by my waistline :P

I've been coming to this site 3 times a day for at least 2 years now... I'm going to miss Chew Boom. Thank you for so many years of amazing food content! Your website made me and all of my friends fast food professionals

Thank you for bringing us breaking news on the latest and coolest offerings from our food joints. I frequently visited the site and referred others as a "go-to" for the deals captured in one easy location.

Best wishes on your future endeavors and thank you.

Anyone looking for an alternative place for fast food news I would recommend the FastFood subreddit. That is where I found this site but there is multiple posts daily on there really similar to this!
