The new New York Times food critic has been announced: Frank Bruni. “We are thrilled to announce the new restaurant critic for The Times. He is Frank Bruni, our bureau chief in Rome.Frank brings to the coverage of restaurant dining a true and longstanding passion; any close reader of his clips will see how often he tries to sneak food into his coverage of popes and presidents alike. A superb reporter and storyteller, a Pulitzer finalist, a war correspondent, and an accomplished feature writer, Frank started his journalism career in the early 1990’s with a stint as a film critic for The Detroit Free Press. And he retains a critic’s soul.”
