Jen Scoville Strickland

As former food editor of the Austin Chronicle and former editor of the Texas Monthly website, Jen Scoville Strickland has over a decade of experience covering the Austin restaurant scene. Jen also hails from a family of small business owners in upstate New York. (If you had stopped in the little town of Geneseo, NY in the last few decades, you would have, at various times, seen the Scoville name on top of buildings on Main Street, and atop the balance sheets of local pizzerias, drive-in movie theatres, and sub shops.) While her Italian-American background forms the basis of her passion for great pizza, it was her four years putting away slices in New York City while attending college at NYU that truly inspired her.
