Food Editor News: Shake-ups At SF Weekly, 7x7

Noted as one of the few faceless critics in town, SF Weekly's formidable and wildly intelligent food editor Jonathan Kauffman will leave the local alt-weekly for Tasting Table, formerly edited by friend of SFist Scott Hocker. SF Weekly notes: "After two years of serving as SF Weekly's lead food critic and writer, Kauffman is moving on to a new gig as the S.F. editor at Tasting Table. Kauffman will continue writing his weekly column and posts for SFoodie, SF Weekly's food blog, through May 1. Through that time Kauffman will also continue his popular blog series Rice Plate Journal, about Chinatown eateries, and SF 50, a countdown of San Francisco's 50 best dishes."

Also, get your resumes and cover letters ready, gastronomes who write. SF Weekly is also looking for a new food editor. Be smart, punchy, and prepared to come up with 1,000 synonyms for "pop-up."

In related news, Tablehopper's Marcia Gagliardi will take on the role as 7x7's new contributing food editor, breathing new life in the glossy magazine's food voice. Look for her tenure to commence in the June issue. But fret not, fans! She will continue to keep Tablehopper as crisp and fresh as ever while working for 7x7.

This Week in Le Rock: Feb 4 - 10

Robyn graces the popscene stage on Thursday night in support of her new Rakamonie EP, that was released digitally on January 29th. The UK has already showed their love for Robyn and the EP, as her track “With Every Heartbeat” reached #1 in the charts there. Over in Berkeley, the Audiophiles, will be opening over at Blakes for The Federalists. These four high school guys from San Francisco have been tearing up the local music scene for awhile now and they deserved to be noticed. Update: The Audiophile show is on Friday, not Thursday.

Friday, you have two choices: The Bruises or Editors. If you like smaller venues that serve up amazing local music, then head over to the Red Devil Lounge for The Bruises' CD release party. "We just make music we like, without trying to be a part of any fad or musical trend," says guitarist/singer Jen Black. Now, if you want to see a huge, genuine rock show, then the Editors/Hot Hot Heat/Louis XIV concert at the Warfield, is the place to be. SFist's Krissy saw their 2006 show and said, "Though we’re hard-pressed to find the originality in it, Editors do what they do extremely well." Sounds good enough for us.
