Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
The New York Times Dining section, which we cover, in brief, here every week, has been in a bit of a slump lately. The precise reasons for this are probably known only to their staff, but the general consensus is that the formerly popular food section is barely worth reading far too often. But loyal readers may be able to look forward to a turnaround of the section's content, since they have just replaced current editor Kathleen McElroy with food writer Pete Wells.
Pete Wells is a columnist for Food and Wine Magazine and is well known to food bloggers for some rather unkind things me said about them earlier this year, though Food & Wine now has a food blogwatch on their own site. Aside from his little gaffe there, Wells is an excellent writer with plenty to offer to the Dining section. Hopefully the content will step up and give readers the stimulating read that the are looking for, rather than yet another article about how wonderful Greenmarket is.
