Janelle Bitker IN as Eater SF’s Newest Reporter

Avid readers may have noticed a new byline frequently gracing the Eater SF site. We’re pleased to announce that Janelle Bitker has joined the team as a reporter, fresh from her duties as managing editor and food critic for the East Bay Express.

Before that she spent time living and writing in Cambodia, and as the Arts and Culture editor and restaurant critic at the Sacramento News & Review. She’s already hit the ground running at Eater SF, with scoops on previously unknown laws around pop-ups and black-owned bourbon companies out of Oakland. She’ll be covering restaurants, chefs, and food all over the Bay Area, from breaking news to creating handy dining guides and writing features. Reach out and say hello, or follow her on Instagram and Twitter.

Welcome, Janelle!
