tommy:eats is New Jersey's longest-running and one of the original blogs focusing on the state's food/restaurants and drink. Mostly restaurants in greater Bergen County and North Jersey, since those are the places I find myself in most often.

Readers will notice that there are no ads on this site. There exists no quid pro quo. There is no special treatment by restaurants or from me, and if there is I will disclose the circumstances. I dine anonymously.  I pay my way.  If I don't like the restaurant I probably won't say a word. You will not be reading press releases or ads thinly veiled as critical reviews.  I eat and cook and drink, and share what I like.

My thoughts on restaurants aren't necessarily reviews. Reviews would require return visits, follow-up, contacting the restaurant to get questions answered. You know, real work. 

I do not accept freebies and likely won't respond to any PR regarding soft openings, previews, special media events, etc. Don't take it personally, I just don't need free stuff, and me receiving all those goodies and special attention would do nothing for the readers of this blog.
