“So, who’s going to replace you?” I asked at that point. He mentioned Leslie Brenner of the Los Angeles Times…but keep it off the record, he added. Something about jinxing the whole deal. They also spoke with candidates from Cleveland, Denver (if I remember correctly) and a couple internal writers.
Well, earlier today the Dallas Morning News announced Brenner as their new food critic. Full release here.
