Hot on the heels of David Snyder leaving his restaurant reviewer position at City Paper comes news that Philadelphia magazine food critic Joy Manning is also departing from her post. She’ll be senior editor of Tasting Table, a daily email similar to Thrillist or Daily Candy, except it caters to food lovers. A Philadelphia version of Tasting Table is also planned. No word on who is going to helm the local edition, although we know Joy will use her red pencil to remove any tired Philadelphia cliches. Philly mag food editor Ashley Primis tells us they are currently vetting new food reviewers, although no one has been hired yet.
