Disclosure
Transparency is important to us. This page explains how we make money and how that might affect our content. The short version: we're always honest, even when it's awkward.
Affiliate Links
Some links on this site are affiliate links. This means if you click and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
We only recommend products we actually use and believe in. Our affiliate relationships never influence our opinions—if we think something is overpriced or not worth it, we'll say so, even if we could earn a commission.
Affiliate links help support this site and allow us to keep creating free content.
Sponsored Content
Sometimes brands pay us to create content featuring their products. When this happens, we always:
- Clearly label the post as sponsored
- Only work with brands we genuinely like and use
- Maintain full editorial control—we write our honest opinions
- Disclose the relationship at the beginning of the content
We turn down many more sponsorships than we accept. If we wouldn't use a product in our own kitchens, we won't promote it.
Restaurant Reviews
Most restaurant meals we review are ones we pay for ourselves. However, sometimes:
- Comped meals: A restaurant may provide a free meal for review purposes. We always disclose this at the top of the review.
- Sponsored reviews: Rarely, we accept payment to visit and review a restaurant. This is always clearly disclosed, and we maintain editorial independence—we never guarantee a positive review.
Every review includes a disclosure box indicating:
- Whether we paid for the meal
- Whether any items were comped
- Whether the review is sponsored
Our opinions are always our own. A comped meal doesn't buy a good review—just an honest one.
Free Products
We sometimes receive free products from brands hoping for coverage. Receiving a free product doesn't guarantee we'll feature it, and it certainly doesn't guarantee a positive review.
When we do feature a product we received for free, we disclose that clearly.
Our Promise
We started Burrow and Butter because we love food and cooking, not to get rich from affiliate links. While these revenue streams help keep the site running, they will never compromise our integrity.
If you ever feel we've fallen short of these standards, please let us know. We take your trust seriously.
