@maxtani breaks news about the people who break news. As the media editor at @semafor, he has reported on internal editorial decisions at places like the New York ‘Times’ and the Washington ‘Post,’ covered newsroom turmoil at Condé Nast, and announced many, many layoffs. That means his eating habits often include work lunches, breakfast meetings, and, in the old-school media tradition, lavish dinners.

“A big part of my job is constantly going out and hanging out with people and exchanging information,” he says. “I do feel like a natural consequence of that is being exposed to great bars and restaurants in New York.” This week, among other things, he spotted Bradley Cooper at @wildcherrynyc and ordered several cornichon martinis at @lechenenyc. “Half of the time, it’s kind of like, ‘Is this work? Are we just hanging out?’” he says. “I don’t really know. I enjoy that it’s a little bit of both.”

Cuts to PBS funding are "completely shortsighted," @kenlburns tells @maxtani.

Is there still a place for physical cookbooks in the age of TikTok and the New York Times Cooking app?
