Announcing our new food section
Filed under: City Pages
I'm proud to announce that City Pages has hired two new food critics and will soon launch an ambitious new dining section in print and online.
Our lead columnist, Rachel Hutton, is a familiar voice to Twin Cities foodies. For the past six years, she has been covering the local dining scene for Minnesota Monthly, where she won three awards from the Minnesota Magazine and Publications Association and the Society of Professional Journalists. A graduate of Stanford University, Hutton edited the essay collection Before the Mortgage in 2006. Hutton's column will critique the Twin Cities' newest buzz-worthy restaurants and provide perspective on movers, shakers, and food makers across the local landscape.
"I'm absolutely thrilled to have the opportunity to write a weekly column," Hutton says. "For a long time, City Pages has been the must-read resource for anybody who cares about dining in the Twin Cities, and I'm excited to build on that legacy."
Hutton will be joined by James Norton, with whom she previously worked at Minnesota Monthly. Norton is a weekly columnist for CHOW.com, and has contributed food writing to Salon.com and Popular Science. Norton will write a weekly half-page column that explores our local restaurant scene from a street-level perspective—think great meals for under $20 and bars with specials on unique drinks.
"I get a kick out of eating anything from mini cubanos at Chino Latino to gyros at Holy Land to wings from Shorty & Wags," Norton says. "A lot of the best eating in the Twin Cities can be found out in the neighborhoods, and rooting it out promises to be a tremendous amount of fun."
Both Hutton and Norton will be regular contributors to a new food blog, which we’ll be launching soon. The blog will feature fresh daily content and a Friday podcast hosted by Hutton and Norton.
Our new dining section debuts in the February 20 issue. Bridging the gap will be two columns by longtime City Pages copy chief Bridgette Reinsmoen, who will also be a contributor to the food blog.

Great news for fans of food. Both Jim and Rachel are engaging writers and fans of good eating. I look forward to Jim getting a little more space in print-- his work at Metroblogging has been excellent with the Skeptical Diner series. Congratulations to both of you guys!

Very cool. I'll subscribe to it when it launches.

Jim and Rachel are actually going to make me read City Pages again.

Way to go Rachel!

I love the $20 and under column idea. IMO that is were the real gems can be found.

Congrats, Jim! You're one of the funniest and right-on food writers in the biz.

Two of the best-good job CP!

I want to have 10K of Rachel's panko-encrusted babies. She's the best!

A pleasant surprise. Now for god's sake, CP, get us a searchable food archive by location and genre.

How exciting! Sad to see Dara go, but looking forward to multi-media content.
Now, let's have reader-comments restaurant listings, like many other independent weeklies have online!

I'm excited to see the articles, blogs, and podcasts!
