Eric Ginsburg | Editor
For more than a decade, Eric has been writing about food and the people behind it.
He started his career in the alternative press, working as an editor at three newspapers in North Carolina including Triad City Beat, which he co-founded in 2014. Since then, he’s written for a diverse array of publications, ranging from Teen Vogue to Business Insider. After years covering news, history, and culture, Eric discovered his passion for food writing — it’s been his focus ever since.
Eric’s food writing has appeared in Bon Appétit, Serious Eats, Wine Enthusiast, VICE, Southern Living, Eater Carolinas, and countless other regional and national publications. He served as a judge for the famed James Beard Awards in 2022 and 2023. Eric took the helm of Food Fanatic in December 2023, and is grateful to be standing on the shoulders of the incredible team that built and nurtured this site, including former editor Cyd Converse.
Eric lives in Raleigh, North Carolina and has called the Old North State home for almost his entire adult life, save for a brief stint in Brooklyn with his wife, Kacie. He grew up in the Boston suburbs and is still loyal to the Celtics and Red Sox, but North Carolina is home. He graduated from Guilford College and from the certificate program at Duke University’s Center for Documentary Studies.
