Why only these states?
Most of the country licenses restaurants county by county, through some 3,000 health departments that publish little or nothing. These states license liquor (and in Florida, all food service) statewide and publish the new filings as public data. We would rather cover four states completely than fifty states badly. When another state publishes a daily statewide file, we add it.
