Grub Street Philadelphia's new editor

After what seemed like a century (OK, five weeks) of waiting to see who'd get the spot at the top of Grub Street Philly's foodie editorship, the gig has gone to Collin Keefe. He'll start this Monday. The local writing vet has done the deed for Woodshop Films/Scrapple TV, PW, Profile Public Relations and this here City Paper ("not to mention spending a few weeks learning how to make sausages and charcuterie with the chefs at Vetri," says Keefe) before taking the reins of the blog Kirsten Henri left behind; she recently moved to Philadelphia mag to helm its food section. "Kirsten Henri left some big shoes to fill at Grub Street Philadelphia,” says Keefe. "My goal is to maintain the high standard of reporting that she set to make the site so popular." While he's coy as to say what his first story will be this Monday, I can tell you that Grub Street saved Keefe from a life of sausage stuffing. Silver linings, that.

That's Collin with 2 L's! He's got a complex about that always-forgotten  2nd L, so you better get it right!
