Food writer and editor (and friend of Grub Street) Francis Lam has joined Pam Krauss at Clarkson Potter, an imprint of the Crown Publishing division of Random House, as editor-at-large. Starting next month, the Gourmet and Salon veteran will begin seeking out new cookbooks and compelling narrative nonfiction. Lam was most recently the features editor at Gilt Taste and is a recurring judge on Top Chef Masters. We’re excited about this one — head on over to Twitter and wish him well. [Related]
