Although the DCist Food and Drink team would prefer to associate the word “turnover” exclusively with “apple,” we also recognize that staff “turnover” is an inevitable fact of the blogging world. Two writers recently left us for print publications, and three others retired from service. In short, we’ve run low on qualified Food and Drink writers.

When we need to restock, it’s not as simple as heading to the local Whole Foods for wild-caught salmon and sea beans. No, we’re picky. We work the line ourselves. We walk along the shoreline, scooping up the good stuff.

Do you think you’re the good stuff? Do you know the stealth food industry gossip that won’t get posted on DonRockwell.com? Do you blog about the disappointing lack of emmerite beans and lovage on menus in this town? Were you incensed that Sam wasn’t chosen to be one of the finalists on Top Chef? Were you inspired by Bill Buford’s Heat to buy your very own suckling pig? Do you know stellar drinking venues inside and out?

If so, we want you to join us. Specifically, we’re looking for:
• a nightlife writer who knows his or her way around the local bar scene;
• a jack-of-all-trades food writer (like a Bert Campaneris of the D.C. dining world);
• a dedicated D.C. restaurant reviewer; and
• stuffed crepes.

Contact Michael Mugmon or Adam Bailey for additional details. We look forward to hearing from you.
