1. Do you get paid to do these reviews?
No. I'm not getting paid and am not receiving any profit from writing these reviews.


2. Why are you trying to be anonymous on your website?
To protect my identity when visiting restaurants.  I don't want people to treat me differently because they know they are being reviewed. :)


3. Can I share my input about restaurants?
Not at this time. You are welcome to participate by sharing restaurants that you like, and I will add them to the Places to Go list so that others may try them as well. You can do this by emailing me at trAde_dining@yahoo.comAs I get around to it, I will review your suggested restaurants. Keeping restaurant critiques limited to one critic also helps maintain one reference point for all restaurants reviewed.


4. How do you decide which restaurants to review?
Mostly by word of mouth. Some by viewing advertisements or driving by. A lot of it has to do with where I am physically located at the moment.


5. Has any restaurant found out that you have reviewed it?
Only one as far as I know, but it doesn't affect the review received.

6. Why don't you list wine pairings with the meal?
I seldom order wine. It helps me stay focused solely on the dishes and flavors being tried at each location.


7. When did you decide to start doing restaurant reviews?
I've been informally reviewing restaurants for a long time, but I only began writing them down as of September 2003 when I put together this website.


8. If the reviews began in September of 2003, Why are some of the restaurants last visited from before that date being reviewed?
Some restaurants left a deep impression with me, both good and bad. So I felt the need to note the overall feeling I got about the place on this site.


9. Are you planning to turn this into a full time profession?
If someone wants to pay me to write reviews, I will certainly consider it.


10. Why do some restaurant critiques disappear from your page?
Some restaurant critiques may be removed from the site if I find out that they have gone out of business.
