Culinary Tidbits . . . Meredith Brody, one of the major restaurant critics in San Francisco, has been terminated from SF Weekly. They are searching for a new replacement and there may be a long queue, until applicants find out that for the most part critics are highly underpaid. In the meantime, Matthew Stafford, her predecessor, will temporarily fill her boots. However, under the surface, it might be that the Weekly wanted a change from long-form critical reviews to a more blogger-type, breezy and newsy style.
