why would someone step down from that job? maybe for health reasons due to his 10-12 time a week job?

Good riddance! He had neither the heart nor the eloquence of his predecessor Ruth Reichl.

I love Biff. But I think it's boring when you'd like to explore different issues in the food world.

Nice scoop Jen, right up your culinary alley.

BTW, Foodie was a great event thanks for giving it some blow. Would have never found it without Gothamist.

Now I guess he is going to have to find someone else to punch his meal ticket.
