We know that the restaurant industry can be very small in a given city, and that industry privilege exists. As chefs, waiters, and sommeliers, you're probably friendly with your counterparts at other restaurants, and you likely get treated very well in a lot of places. You are still encouraged to participate on Chowhound, but do so while keeping your privilege in mind. We're happy to hear the honest opinions and favorites of industry pros, but please be sure to disclose where you've received special tastes or comps. Your posts should be focused on sharing great food tips, rather than on promoting your friends.
