'New York Times' Restaurant Critic Frank Bruni Stepping Down

After a five-year stint as the newspaper's critic, Frank Bruni will step down in August. The upcoming publication of his food memoir prompted the move:

Recognizing that the book is certain to seriously compromise his ability to be a spy in the land of food, Frank picked this as a natural time to move on. He will be turning in his restaurant-critic credentials when his memoir, Born Round: the Secret History of a Full-Time Eater, is published in late August.

Bruni will become a writer at large for the New York Times Magazine, pursuing food and non-food stories.

Why do major critics still pretend that they are somehow anonymous? Aren't there staff whose job is mainly to be on the lookout for these guys? Don't chefs write all the time about how crunch time is on when they spot the critic in the restaurant?

Yea, the book is really going to blow his cover.
