Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: September 19, 2026

How affiliate links work

Some stories, guides, videos, product modules and recommendation pages may include links to merchants or affiliate networks. If you complete a qualifying purchase or action through those links, Houston Food Fanatics or Coffee X Media may receive a commission or other compensation.

What it costs you

Using an affiliate link normally does not increase the price you pay. The destination merchant or storefront determines current pricing, availability, returns, shipping and other transaction terms. A price or product detail in older coverage may have changed.

Our merchandise

Houston Food Fanatics merchandise is associated with our own brand. Purchases support Houston Food Fanatics and Coffee X Media, including products linked through Texas Thread Theory. These are commercial links even when they are not third-party affiliate recommendations. The linked storefront provides checkout and the applicable order, payment, fulfillment and return information.

Sponsorships, gifts and hosted experiences

When coverage involves payment, free products, complimentary meals, event admission or another material benefit from the business being discussed, that relationship should be identified clearly with the relevant coverage. A gift or invitation does not by itself establish that a favorable review is required. Do not assume a commercial relationship exists for every business mentioned.

Editorial independence

Compensation does not guarantee positive coverage. Restaurant opinions, recipes and product recommendations should remain useful to the audience whether or not a commercial relationship exists.

Disclosures belong with the content

This general page does not replace a clear disclosure beside a compensated recommendation or within sponsored content. Applicable affiliate commissions, sponsorships or provided products should be explained where readers encounter the recommendation, rather than relying only on a footer link.
