Anthony Bonner Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Vox bought some incredible sports properties. That talent is now seen daily on ESPN. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Diancecht Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 maybe he’ll come back as a contractor. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GerryOlds Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Interesting that they axed him and not Sietsema (maybe they're assuming he retires soon?). Wonder if they'll hire a new critic. Similar situation with Platt out at NYMag and no replacement announced yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sneakeater Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 @Orik will point out that they both stopped giving out stars. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Platt was the other half of the "both" (with Sutton). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neocon maudit Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 When Vox acquired New York magazine [and Grub Street], one could assume there would be some consolidation. I suppose from that time, the clock was ticking for either Platt or Sutton [even if I don't feel they quite overlap]. But they're both gone? Wtf. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wilfrid Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Platt voluntarily gave up the weekly review column; I think he still works at New York. Sietsema is indeed still churning the stuff out, described as Senior Dining Critic or Senior Critic depending where you look. I don't know if that's a new title.

Sneakeater Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Not a new title. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 After scurrying through the building’s entrance and into the restaurant’s elevator, a fiasco of red wine and stack glasses await your party. Unless Ci Siamo plops a fiasco on your table with some glasses as soon as you sit down -- which I can tell you from experience they don't -- I don't think this Eater writer knows what "a fiasco of red wine" is. (I've been to Ci Siamo several times, and I've never seen a fiasco there.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
