To Catch a Critic

For the record, half a dozen independent and reputable sources have told Eater that New Orleans' Brett Anderson, the James Beard award-winning critic of the Times Picayune, is a shoo-in for the recently vacated New York Times critic job (and he's not denying it). Some say he and his wife have already made the move to New York. His mug is not yet out there, but nervous chefs can hear his voice here and follow his tweets here, for now.Update: Yeah, that tipster that said the thing about the wife? Turns out the dude isn't married. [EaterWire]
