A local food writer gets a shout-out in a Boston.com
piece as a possible successor to the outgoing restaurant critic at the New York Times.
The Times’ food critic, Sam Shifton, is shifting into a new role at the newspaper, it explains.
“Still in the outsider vein,” Devra First writes, "Dara Moskowitz Grumdahl, who writes for the
Minnesota Monthly," is “a wicked writer, a New York native, well respected.”
In a position that’s long been male-dominated, it may be time for a new perspective. “Grumdahl's sensibility appeals to the younger readers the Times is looking to attract,” says First.
