Yo, when I get recognized on the street, I’m often called the “food guy.” It’s a flattering description, especially since it’s such a broad term in a content space filled with many “food guys” and “food girls.” 😂 I do, however, like to emphasize that righteouseats isn’t just a food channel—it’s a small business with a mission. We don’t charge restaurants to be featured. Instead, one way we’re supported is through partnerships with brands we actually believe in. And when we work with these brands, like mastercard, we make sure the impact reaches beyond us: the restaurants get paid, the community eats for free, and our partners get their deliverables. We believe in putting our money where our mouth is, backing up our words with hard numbers. So here’s the transparency to date: 
• $119,034.30 on meals; never taking a free meal from a restaurant 
• $276,331.80 to build and sustain a team, office space, transportation, collaboration tools, editing software  • $138,521 on community events...
