Are you being funny?

Seriously, man. I haven't opened an email or looked at a blog in the past two weeks that didn't have an item about Frank Bruni, his last days at the NYT, his book, his favorites, his thoughts on the Choco Taco, etc. I'm pretty friggin' sick of him.

Yeah, guess you've been in a cave for the past few weeks.

i was thinking the same thing but didn't want to be rude by saying it. Mich23---where you been hiding?
Bruni announced he was leaving weeks ago. there has been tons of press on it. he did an interview last week on dateline as well as the release of his new book.
sam sifton is taking over for him.

Since I've been taking care of my mother who is ill these past few weeks, I have been out of the loop on many levels. All of you are quite rude yourselves, and I should reconsider contributing to this site, if I were you. Anyone should be able to ask anything here, without being told they live in a cave. As a devoted food person, it is always my pleasure to help someone less informed. I guess you guys would prefer to ridicule those who know less.

Sorry if you thought I was being rude, but I was just a bit incredulous since its been all over the internet since mid-may: http://dinersjournal.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/05/14/frank-bruni-moving-to-times-magazine-bill-keller-announces/
The story has been followed closely by SE and others and there's even an interview with Bruni that's featured on the front page.

It just seems like the news would have been hard to miss, but if you've been out of the loop for a while, it's understandable that you wouldn't have known. After all, even though people in foodie circles make a big deal about it, it's not like it's really important news in the grand scale of things.

@mich23 I was further out of the loop that you were and I don't even have a legitimate reason. I didn't know Frank Bruni existed until he was on tv last week being interviewed for his new book.
I am on this site every day, but I didn't catch the info on the man. I live near Philly and I follow Craig Laban. I'll be crushed when he leaves.
