Every couple of weeks, Matt invites a journalist to talk about some favorite recent food writing as well as their thoughts on the industry as a whole. In today’s episode, we have a great conversation with <strong>Nikita Richardson</strong>. Nikita is an editor in the Food section of <em>The New York Times</em> and the creator of the “<a href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/newsletters/where-to-eat-new-york-city\"><u>Where to Eat: New York City</u></a>” newsletter, <em>The Times</em>’s first newsletter dedicated to restaurant coverage. We talk about Nikita’s newsletter and feature writing, life as an editor at <em>The</em> <em>Times</em>, and college football naturally comes up too. It was such a fun time having one of food media’s leading voices on the show. </p>\n<p><em><strong>Subscribe to This Is TASTE</strong></em><em>:</em><em><strong> </strong></em><a href=\"https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-taste-podcast/id1393739959?mt=2\">⁠⁠<em>Apple Podcasts</em>⁠⁠</a><em>, </em><a href=\"https://open.spotify.com/show/3LsLXfnYt6Ugml415hyUfh?si=MRMn32W-S5i9HktfZ_eBIg\">⁠⁠<em>Spotify</em>⁠⁠</a><em>, </em><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/@ThisIsTASTE\">⁠⁠<em>YouTube</em>⁠⁠</a><em> </em></p>\n<p><strong>Featured on the episode:</strong></p>\n<ul>\n  <li>\n<a href=\"https://www.grubstreet.com/article/bring-back-the-tip-jar.html\"><u>Bring Back the Coffee Shop Tip Jar Even if it’s Digital</u></a> [NY Mag]</li>\n  <li>\n<a href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/07/dining/smoked-salmon-tiktok.html\"><u>This TikTok Food Trend Is More Than 10,000 Years Old</u></a> [NYT]</li>\n  <li>\n<a href=\"https://www.bestfoodblog.net/fellas-is-it-cheugy-to-make-a-mug-cake/\"><u>Fellas, Is It Cheugy to Make a Mug Cake?</u></a> [Best Food Blog] </li>\n  <li>\n<a href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/30/dining/tony-shalhoub-breaking-bread-cnn.html\"><u>Tony Shalhoub Will Travel for Bread</u></a> [NYT]</li>\n</ul><p> </p>","author_name":"Matt Rodbard & Aliza Abarbanel"}
