Help wanted: Chron dining section
Rich Connelly notes that the Chronicle food section is without a leader yet again:
There's an old saying about legendary football coaches: You don't want to be the guy who replaces (for example) Bear Bryant. You want to be the guy who replaces the guy who replaced Bear Bryant.
Apparently that saying doesn't hold for Houston Chronicle food editors. The paper is looking to replace the person who replaced the person who replaced the person who replaced the legend.
Ann Criswell ruled the Chron food section for 34 years before retiring in late 2000. Since then the paper's gone through section editors like Olive Garden goes through busboys.
John DeMers lasted 18 months; Jane P. Marshall endured about half that long, and Janice Schindeler even less.
Schindeler wouldn't comment on her recent firing, but rumors are that she grew exasperated making up for an understaffed section and her bosses grew exasperated with her exasperation.
And so, for the fourth time in four years, the Chron begins a search for a food editor. Whoever they pick probably shouldn't make long-term plans.
Any foodies who are also aspiring journalists might want to ship a resume over to 801 Texas Avenue.
