    A New Kind of Restaurant Critic: Soleil Ho

    When Soleil Ho was hired to be the new restaurant critic at the San Francisco Chronicle, she was replacing someone who had held the role for 32 years. She took it upon herself to totally reinvent the job, working to create a sight of exploration, representation, and equity. Listen in on our conversation to learn how she did it, and what her role is like now, in the time of Corona. In March, HRN began producing all of our 35 weekly shows from our homes all around the country. It was hard work stepping away from our little recording studio, but we know that you rely on HRN to share resources and important stories from the world of food each week. It’s been a tough year for all of us, but right now HRN is asking for your help. Every dollar that listeners give to HRN provides essential support to keep our mics on.
