FNJ Fans,

After more than two years of editing food and wine news for our faithful followers at Food News Journal and Food52, we're taking a break. A lot of our readers already are asking what we plan to do next, and we're glad you're interested. Right now, we're planning to enjoy the end-of-year festivities and then regroup in the new year. We promise to keep you posted.

In the meantime, we hope you'll continue to contact us. Drop us an email and let us know what you're doing – we're as interested in your blogs and food writing as you were in our food-news compilations. For now, you can reach Fran at fran.brennan2 (at) gmail.com, and Shelly at sepeppel (at) gmail.com. We're also still both reachable at info (at) foodnewsjournal.com.

Thanks again for all of your interest, feedback and loyalty over the years. And please do keep an eye on FNJ – you never know what exciting food site might pop up in its place.

Shelly and Fran
