Damn Foodies

NYT chief restaurant critic Frank Bruni replaced Frank Rich as an op-ed columnist, now this:
Sam Sifton's diversion from editor on the rise to restaurant critic lasted just over two years. He was named today as the next national editor of the New York Times, as new executive editor Jill Abramson continues to build her team. This makes Sifton the editor more or less over most California reporting.
WTF, NYT, W.T.F.?

Hey, the restaurant critics have a better track record than their op-ed writers.

Yes, that makes so much sense..making a food critic a bigwig on the OpEd pages.

Reminds me of one of my old bosses in Aerospace..who knew nothing, but had a big ole college degree..so one day I asked what his major was in college...

ANIMAL HUSBANDRY.
