She was Grace Ann Walden's replacement. She seemed to mostly reprint press releases, but was getting better. All is not well at our beloved Food Section. BIG BROTHER: Please leave this on the San Francisco Bay Area board because that gets the most exposure to us. Thu Oct 05 07:12:03 -0700 2006 11737 NoeMan 1 1925148 What happened to Grace Ann Walden? I've been wondering. I saw her in conversation with Jeremiah Tower and liked her.

Thu Oct 05 20:46:01 -0700 2006 1924283 29412 chowaddict 2 1925914 That would be appropriate. Her newsletter consistently outscoops the scoop. It reads like she actually puts time into investigating the restaurant scene and keeping up on gossip rather than just reiterating press releases.
