Sam Sifton the New 'NYT' Restaurant Critic
Holy moley. Times culture editor Sam Sifton is the new restaurant critic of the New York Times. Sifton, by the way, turned down the job last time around. Guess working with crazed TV critic Alessandra Stanley finally broke him! He'll have to grow his hair, as a disguise… um, if he can.
"a few weeks of warmup eating": Nice work if you can get it.
And learning to take notes while chewing.
Oh man, I hope he can outdo his performance in Hot Fuzz!
After all that grub, he'll have to Run Fatboy Run.
He doesn't look sufficiently gluttonous.
Although that meatloaf recipe did sound awfully good.
He is pretty hilarious.
Agreed. I'm a fan.
He is! Though I hope he's ready for the onslaught. He hasn't always enjoyed criticism. (Well who does.) But he is going to be getting a lot of attention and I think he will find it shocking.
Unless he does not utilize the Internet, in which case, no problem!
And now who becomes Culture Editor? Assuming there's still a culture.
Jessica Simpson.
Peggy Noonan.
Julia Allison.
I have a bad feeling about this one.
Alessandra Stanley?
David Carr?
Nope.
So exciting! Yes, me too.
Jodi Kantor Mark II?
Edmund Andrews
Food Critics are glorified Assayers.
Well somebody had to say it.
I was rooting for Brett Anderson at the Times-Picayune, but this is much much better!
