After a little more than a year on the job, Dallas Morning News dining critic Michalene Busico has resigned her post.
Busico announced the news on her Facebook page on Wednesday, noting that she’s headed for a new gig as editor in chief of PaperCity Magazine. Busico’s reign at the paper was truly brief — she was hired in May 2018, almost a year after her predecessor Leslie Brenner’s departure in September 2017. As such, this is the second time in three years that the paper is on the hunt for a critic, following a nationwide search that lasted for months after Brenner left.
Until Busico is replaced, the city is left with just one full-time dining critic in D Magazine’s Eve Hill-Agnus, and freelance Dallas Observer critic Brian Reinhart. Perhaps this time, the city’s only daily paper will look locally for a new dining critic.
