Breaking News: the Big B is leaving the New York Times Dining section at the end of August in order to dedicate himself to his forthcoming memoir: Born Round: the Secret History of a Full-Time Eater. Bruni, who had a five year tenure at the Dining section, will go on to write for the New York Times Sunday Magazine after his book promotion tour and a well deserved vacation.

Rumors of Bruni’s departure had been buzzing for weeks in the food world, but the Times’ Bill Keller’s announcement it made it official. It presently remains unclear as to who will be replacing Bruni.
