Frank Anthony Bruni (born October 31, 1964) is an American journalist. He was the chief restaurant critic of The New York Times, a position he held from 2004 to 2009.
Biography
He graduated Phi Beta Kappa from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1986 with a B.A. in English. He was a Morehead Scholar and on the staff of the student paper, The Daily Tar Heel.[1] Bruni graduated second in his class with an M.S. degree in journalism from the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism. At Columbia he also won a Pulitzer Traveling Fellowship.
From 1990 to 1995 he worked for the Detroit Free Press in an assortment of positions including covering the Persian Gulf War. In 1995, Bruni joined The New York Times as a metropolitan reporter and often wrote for the New York Times magazine and for Sunday Arts. He was promoted to the Rome bureau chief (July 2002–March 2004) and worked as a reporter in the Washington, D.C., bureau (December 1998–May 2002). While in D.C., Bruni was assigned to cover Capitol Hill, Congress, Governor George W. Bush's presidential campaign, and the White House.
Bruni wrote in Men's Vogue of his search for a workout to combat the calories he consumes as a food writer,[2] and in the April 2008 issue he wrote about his addiction to sleeping pills.[3] Bruni's book, Born Round: The Secret History of a Full-Time Eater was released in 2009, and since then he has written general interest and food-related columns for the Times, in part filling the "food writer at large" role that had been unfilled since the 2006 death of the Times' reporter R. W. Apple, Jr.[4]
Personal
Bruni is openly gay.[5] He has struggled with his eating and bulimia.[6]
