I guess now is as good a time as any to whip off our YUM editorial policy. I sometimes talk to readers who will say something like, "Well, BR Yum writers like everything." That's not exactly true. We like a lot of restaurants in Buffalo, but there are always a few that we might not be big fans of. Our policy is: If you like a restaurant, or a particular dish at a restaurant, then we tell our viewers. If you don't like a place... don't write about it. We are here to steer you in the right direction regarding where we like to eat, and what agrees with us on the menu. We all have certain likes and dislikes.
Also, BRO writers all pay for their own meals. We ask that our writers cover restaurants if they are going there anyways. We rarely send our writers to an eatery - we like to hear what they have to say as much as you do. They do take suggestions, and when they find themselves with a few bucks in their pockets, and a pen in hand, chances are that you will hear about the food that they tried. Occasionally a restaurant owner might give one of our writers something to sample that they might not have ordered, but unless there is an event where the food is free anyways... nothing is free... even the bad meals (that you won't hear about). All chefs have bad nights, as do the writers - that's why we stick to writing what we enjoy most about dining out in Buffalo.
