Times Food Critic William Grimes Steps Down
The Nation's Restaurant News reports that William Grimes is stepping down from his role as restaurant reviewer for The New York Times. "Grimes, who, the memo said, dined out 10 to 12 times a week, wrote more than 440 reviews during his tenure as restaurant critic. He is expected to continue to write for the Times. His replacement has not been named." [Via Romenesko]
May we finally see your face, Biff!




why would someone step down from that job? maybe for health reasons due to his 10-12 time a week job?
Good riddance! He had neither the heart nor the eloquence of his predecessor Ruth Reichl.
I love Biff. But I think it's boring when you'd like to explore different issues in the food world.
Nice scoop Jen, right up your culinary alley.
BTW, Foodie was a great event thanks for giving it some blow. Would have never found it without Gothamist.
Now I guess he is going to have to find someone else to punch his meal ticket.
