Pete Wells, NYT Restaurant Critic

All hail Pete Wells, who has been named Sam Sifton's successor as the New York Times restaurant critic. It seems the newspaper has already started removing photos of Wells, who is currently the dining section editor, from the website. Replacing Wells is Susan Edgerley, who, according to The Times, "is a passionate cook and avid reader of cookbooks, as well as blogs, magazines and memoirs about food. She is an intrepid restaurant diner, and a viewer of an assortment of food shows." [-ENY-, NYT]
