‘RedEye’ Critic Michael Nagrant Launches His Own Website

RedEye dining contributor Michael Nagrant will no longer review restaurants for the paper and is launching an independent site. Nagrant, in a blog post, wrote that the Tronc-owned RedEye would no longer publish its own reviews — all criticism would come from critics employed at its corporate sibling, the Tribune.

Thanks for posting the link. I would be nothing without this forum and the folks who inspired me to start writing about food.

I've always grabbed the Redeye at the Ridgeland CTA station specifically to read your writing, Michael, and over the years I've been very impressed with the consistently lively and informed commentary you've provided. You're one of the best, and best luck with the site.

Hope the new site does splendidly. I've always loved MJN's writing -- and have benefited so often from his recommendations.
