After just 25 months in his post, Sam Sifton is stepping down as restaurant critic for The New York Times to accept a position as the paper's National editor. Executive editor Jill Abramson confirmed the news in a memo sent to employees: 
Sam Sifton will be our new National editor. From his star runs at Dining and Culture, we all know that Sam is a superb editor who brings infectious energy and a host of original ideas, digital and print, to everything he touches... This will be very sad news to his devoted fans as our brilliant dining critic, but Sam, a lover of regional food, looks forward to dining adventures with the National correspondents.
