Human Resources Director  
Food and Fort Worth has two interests:
  1. to review Fort Worth area restaurants, food merchants, events, entertainment, and just about anything going on in our fair burg, 
  2. to promote the best local businesses and activities, not in the sense of an advertiser, but in the sense of an unbiased observer.
The fact that this blog has become a place for me to drivel on about anything that crosses my mind does not negate its real purpose.

Here are a few ground rules about posts, advertising, comments, link sharing, and public relations relations:

1. We do not accept compensation for posts.

2. We accept press releases for upcoming events, store openings, and anything else related to food and entertainment in the Fort Worth area. Posts related to these announcements are done at our discretion. Actually, reading the announcements is done at our discretion, too. Long, confusing, or self-indulgent press releases are not read. Sorry. Special note to non-Texas public relations firms: Fort Worth is not Dallas. This is a Fort Worth area blog. Get it?

3. We accept the occasional invitation to a free event or open house as long as a blog post is not required in exchange.

4. We accept advertising from Google Ads and a few other businesses. The daily income from these ads is not enough to buy a Senior's discount cup of coffee. Clicking and purchasing via the Google ads is appreciated. There are no Google ads or Google referrals in the posts themselves. There is no advertising in the posts. There is no compensation for any referral in the posts.

5. The opinions expressed here are my own. They are opinions. They are subjective. I make every effort to be fair, even-handed, positive and even helpful to our local restaurants' success. If I have criticized your business and you would like us to return anonymously I will be happy to do so. Just ask.

6. Mean-spirited or offensive comments are deleted. If you do not like this blog, I do not care. It's free, stop visiting. Disagreement is encouraged as long as it is thoughtful. I reserve the right to delete any comment, at any time without explanation. We no longer accept "Anonymous" comments. 95% of the offensive comments were "Anonymous" and I just got tired of them.

7. I have changed the rule on new blog linking recently. If your blog is new, please enter the conversation of this blog in the comments section before asking to swap links. The average blog has the life span of a tsetse fly. I am happy to help, but I am more willing to help if you participate in the comments section first.
