The Waco Tribune Herald


In case you haven't noticed, the Waco paper no longer publishes critical reviews of new restaurants. This happened a few weeks after a new spot in Hewitt got a less than favorable write-up. A few days later - what smelled like an organized letter campaign - descended upon the Trib. My guess is this was followed by a threat from one or more local restaurants and businesses. "We don't like your criticism so we will pull our advertising." The end result was that the Trib buckled. Now we have a benign column called "Nibbles" - a real embarrassment to the world of journalism.

But now comes the Wide World of Waco Eats! A new blog meant to bring back fair, honest, and critical opinion to the consumer. Where to eat? What is new? Is it quality? Is there value? Read our opinions and post your own here. We don't take freebies and we don't run ads. We just eat, digest, and blog!
