Amanda Hesser continues to garner attention from her fellow journalists as the Boston Phoenix jumps on the bandwagon with a feature article. It covers a few of the controversial aspects of her rise to fame such as the criticism that her “Food Diary” column is too much about her life, not enough about food. But her writing makes the topic accessible, as she says “I’d like to reach some people who don’t normally read about food.” The article also takes a slight dig at the NY Times itself: “And as the New York Times reportedly seeks a more populist readership — as evidenced by recent articles on Botox and Mariah Carey on the paper’s front page — it’s no surprise that Hesser has received such a prominent platform for her work.”
