Don't Forget to Tip Your Eater

As spring pushes the last remnants of a sorry excuse for a winter away, we figured it was time for a little thank you to our tipsters. You are our lifeblood. You keep us afloat with all of your intel, rumormongering, rants, photos, and gossip spilling. Thank you. For all you newcomers, a quick reminder on how you can get involved in all the fun:

Did you spot a new wine bar sprouting up on your block? Have an idea of where the next Paul Kahan or Lettuce Entertain You restaurant will be? Have thoughts on the roasted chicken for two at NoMI or the newest flavor at Black Dog Gelato? Or maybe you just need to vent in the Eater Complaints Dept.

All this and more is very welcome to the tipline; just drop a note to chicago@eater.com. Photos—from plywood to shutter signage to Stop-Work orders—are especially encouraged. Anonymity guaranteed, of course. And while you're at it, feel free to follow Eater on Facebook or Foursquare or Twitter, contribute to our Flickr Photo Pool, AND/or sign up for the email newsletter (do that directly on the site). It's an Eater smorgasbord out there, and we'd love for you to dig in.
