Former Orlando Sentinel writer and sometimes controversial food critic Scott Joseph has announced his intention to retire from full-time food critiquing.
Joseph announced the move via his Scott Joseph Orlando blog, saying that after more than 36 years, it was time to move on.
“It’s the culmination of a 36-year career – 20 at the Sentinel and 16 at this website – in which I’ve written nearly 4,000 reviews, plus numerous feature stories, columns, and informational articles. I’ve enjoyed watching the Central Florida culinary community grow, and I’ve been privileged to have played a part in that growth, including advocating for nonsmoking restaurants, changing laws to allow smaller businesses to serve liquor, and championing the talents of local chefs and the high quality of their restaurants to a world that saw us as having nothing to offer but chain eateries. “
– SCOTT JOSEPH
Joseph will continue on with his blog where he will publish news pieces and occasional reviews, but without the same regularity, he says, along with a slight shift in content as he organizes and leads culinary tours and cruises around the world.
