You’re right, Mr. Pink. Food blogging can be tiring, especially when you’re holding a hunk of chevre in one paw and a glass of Riesling with the other — all while surreptitiously taking notes and snapping pictures. So, while Mr. Pink takes his food coma nap, the DCist Food and Drink team is looking to pick up his slack with a few new enthusiastic Food and Drink writers.

But we won’t be satisfied with just any spectator foodie. We’re looking for the type of adventurous eater who’d be the first with their nose buried in a bag of coffee beans; the eagle-eye who can spot a dirty beer tap from across the bar; the talent who can not only appreciate a beautiful set of grill lines on a steak, but also work the grill line if the chef asked; the reporter able to scoop the industry gossip before it clogs the interwebs; the Eastern Market farmer’s favorite customer; or someone who TiVos Top Chef for the closeups of the dishes, not Padma.

Although all our writers are free to post on any food and drink beat, we are hoping to fill a few specific roles, including:
a bar/lounge/nightlife reviewer – this may also include beer, wine, and spirits
a features writer – interviews, sneak peaks
a general food writer – reviews, news, eating in
a restaurant reviewer
