If you still review the place, do you disclose that you received freebies to readers? Just curious: when you get freebies, do you still review the place.

I've/we've gotten freebies in the past myself. It was more at the recent bring in the CP review freebie from a couple weeks ago, but yes, PYT did have a big blogger freebie day in August. There is the $6 burger option as well (what I got). Never had a Cali-style burger as Tommy Up calls it. Didn't get to In n Out or Carl's while in LA last year.

That's just part of the MO these days....here's an item that cost us 30 cents to make; you go give us $$$ in free publicity. What I don't like about PYT is whenever anyone says anything negative, it's immediately "What? You don't trust the bloggers? They're not qualified to give a review?" In my opinion, no -- not when they've been wined and dined for free. Anyway, it comes down to the burger. I thought the same as you did. Meh, overpriced and not a size that commands 8 bucks. I suppose if you're up in the Piazza, there are limited food items -- but I'd recommend going around the corner to Paesano's. For the same price, a much better meal.

In my opinion, no — not when they've been wined and dined for free.
