What is Gold?

Since The Daily Plate is a free service that's growing more and more popular every day, we introduced two different approaches to help us defray our costs and keep the site running smoothly.

The first, of course, is advertising. We try to keep ads as non-invasive as possible.

The second piece is our Gold membership program We offer a variety of extra features listed (here and here) on top of our basic free offering, in exchange for paid Gold membership. Gold members gain access to these bonus features, and help support the site as well -- a true win-win!
