    Should a restaurant reviewer state when he is provided free meals by the restaurant he is reviewing? Nancy Rommelmann seems to have been three weeks ahead when she wrote about how a restaurant like Olea gets named "One of the best new restaurants in the US".

    Question Mark

    A forward: I hope Nancy doesn't mind me jumping in on her story. Shortly after this story was written, Robb Walsh, restaurant reviewer of the Houston Press pulled a double review at a restaurant at which he is recognized and the results are rather interesting:"As for the experiment, it's clear I was treated much better than Josh. The point isn't to punish Gravitas for … [Read more...] about Reviewing the Restaurant Reviewer – What Do Ethics Matter?

    Restaurant ads made to look like reviews for restaurants – that buy ad-space

    A SF Examiner restaurant reporter’s job is to bring in ads. On the surface, this may not seem like too bad an idea. The problem is the Examiner was trading good reviews for the ads: From ‘Grade the News’ George Habit’s food columns are presented as news, but they’re really ad solicitations, reports John McManus. Habit tells him: “Yes, I use the column as an initiative to get … [Read more...] about Restaurant ads made to look like reviews for restaurants – that buy ad-space
