Michael Batterberry Dies At 78: Founded 'Food & Wine,' 'Food Arts' Magazines

The New York Times:

Michael Batterberry, a food writer and historian who with his wife founded two enduring, influential magazines, Food & Wine and Food Arts, died on Wednesday in Manhattan.

Mr. Batterberry, who in recent years had genteelly declined to disclose his age to the news media -- "Age entries should be reserved for wine lists," he once told The New York Times -- was 78.
