The Times has appointed Tejal Rao and Ligaya Mishan as its new chief restaurant critics, marking a national expansion of food criticism beyond New York City. This change comes after Pete Wells' departure and is part of a broader strategy to enhance coverage for a diverse array of dining experiences across the U.S. Rao will concentrate on the national scene, while Mishan will divide her focus between New York and national reviews, aiming to highlight key moments in American dining culture and celebrate restaurants that represent current trends.
The Times appointed Tejal Rao and Ligaya Mishan as new chief restaurant critics, signaling a national expansion of its food criticism to better reflect diverse dining across the U.S.
With subscribers in every state, we will now use two critics to deliver starred reviews of restaurants all over the country, expanding beyond the New York focus.
Rao will be entirely focused on the national dining scene, while Mishan will balance her time between New York City and broader U.S. restaurant coverage.
Our goal is to capture moments in American dining, highlighting restaurants that embody contemporary culture and trends.
