In today’s episode, we speak with our guest John Lehndorff, an acclaimed Colorado-based food writer, radio host, and editor.
In this episode, John shares how he pivoted from yearning to be a music critic to becoming an award-winning food media professional—penning the Nibbles column since around 1985 and hosting Radio Nibbles show at KGNU FM for more than 25 years. He takes a deep dive into his “food critic” days when he reviewed more than 400 restaurants for the Rocky Mountain News. John also elaborates on what it’s like to be a head judge at the National Pie Championships.
Listen as John talks about how to cover local food scenes, what his days typically look like as a professional food writer, and his deep affinity for pies.
