Turns Out the New Times Critic Is... Eric Asimov! (Just for Now)
Categories: Featured, Flash in the Pan
Rumors that Times-Picayune critic Brett Anderson has been selected to replace Sam Sifton have not yet been refuted. In the meantime, the position has already been filled -- temporarily, at least. Wine writer Eric Asimov is taking over as interim critic while a permanent replacement is still being sorted out. This week he reviews Salinas.
