Women’s Pages & Florida Food History

Lance are going to hear my favorite Florida historian tonight – Gary Mormino. He is going to speak about one of my favorite topics – the history of food in Florida. The event is being held at the Orange County History Center.

Florida newspapers have had some great food editors over the years. Jeanne Voltz was the food editor at the Miami Herald during the 1950s and traveled the state looking for food stories.

After being the first food editor at the New York Times, Jane Nickerson went on to be the food editor at the Lakeland Ledger.

Ruth Gray was the food editor at the St. Petersburg Times who later became a restaurant critic at the newspaper.
