Notable Departures

LA Weekly editor Laurie Ochoa has been shown the door, which wouldn't be notable in food circles, except for the fact that her husband just happens to be Jonathan Gold. Already some are speculating that the shuffle might foreshadow—or rather, open up the possibility of—a move by the Goldster to the big Bruni vacancy. However, LAist's sources nix any possible Gold-to-NYT rumors, echoing similar sentiments we've heard elsewhere. Still, that glaring vacancy should make for an interesting summer on the food media circuit, yes? [LAist]
