Eating, Exercising and Writing About It

Times restaurant critic Sam Sifton has a piece in this Sunday's magazine about how he manages the job of eating for a living while staying healthy. Along with that the Diner's Journal has a blog post of Sifton's food diary for a week — the calories he consumed and the calories he expended exercising. It seems people are always curious about the life of a food critic and, naturally, all of this has generated lots of questions from readers, which Sifton has answered in several rounds.
