Announcements: Time Out Chicago Hires Amy Cavanaugh As Its New Food Editor

By Anthony Todd in Food on Jul 19, 2013 6:20PM

It is with great sadness that I must announce the loss of our dear weekend editor and resident foodie, Amy Cavanaugh. Time Out Chicago announced today what some of us have known for a while—Amy is headed over there.

She'll be taking over as Dining Editor from Julia Kramer, who left for Bon Appetit earlier this year. Amy has worked as a travel writer, a food writer and an arts and culture writer for publications like Serious Eats, The Boston Globe, The Chicago Tribune, Citysearch, Plate Magazine and the Washington Post. We couldn't be more more thrilled for Amy, though we'll miss her in-depth writing and food geekery over here and at all of the other outlets that she worked for over the years.

A few of Amy's greatest hits (all worth bookmarking):

Lincoln's 1865 Inaugural Ball: 'A Terrific Crush At The Supper Table'
Bartender-In-Chief: Abraham Lincoln Owned A Tavern
Feast: Radical Hospitality In Contemporary Art
9 Crab Dishes We Love In Chicago
Whale Waste? Billy Sunday Uses Ambergris In Its Cocktails
Malört: Chicago's Favorite Bitter Liqueur

And because we know she loves malort so much, our recent chat with Amy: Two Malorts, One City: Which Malort Is Best?
