If you’re an aspiring food writer or an aspiring chef, there are some cool new jobs opening up to fuel your dreams. First comes news of a new food editor position opening up at The Examiner. The position is freelance and listed as a 7-10 hour a week job for a 1-2 page weekly section. Based on the tasks listed, this section of The Examiner will most likely debut late this year. The ad is a bit confusing — is it a food editor or the “Cooking Section manager”? — but it seems like it would be a great gig for any budding journalist eager to begin the ascent towards becoming the next Mimi Sheraton or Jeffrey Steingarten.

On the other side of the dining experience, it looks like the usual August departures from D.C. have spawned a ton of jobs open at local restaurants, from front of the house positions to managers, servers, and personal chef positions. Tired of the 9-5 in your cube? Notable restaurants such as Jaleo, IndeBleu, Tallula, and Johnny’s Half Shell are all advertising immediate openings. Just be wary of the many pitfalls of working in the industry.
