Introducing Salon's Food Site

Salon.com has launched a food section led by Francis Lam, a former Gourmet writer and blogger. It feels like Salon is a bit late in coming around to cover the food world, but let's see what they produce. They've gathered a group of writers that includes Grant Achatz of Alinea, who also blogs on The Atlantic's food channel, and John T. Edge, who writes for The Times. I am always interested in compelling, original food stories, but this makes me wonder if the overlap will make the site less worthwhile.
