New food column in biz section of California paper

A business reporter for the Contra Costa Times plans to write a regular food column for the business section after spending some time writing a similar column for the features section.

James Temple has been writing an “Out to Lunch� column for the paper, but the new business section column will run one Monday a month.

In an e-mail, Temple said, “It’s going to be a once-a-month review of restaurants and bars frequented by the East Bay’s business community. It will, in a light-hearted style, seek to answer questions such as: What’s the best place to take a recruit, close a deal, impress your boss, etc. Not sure of the start date yet, but it should begin sometime next month.”

Temple will be a general assignment business writer, focused on health care, work-life issues and the news of the day. He’s returning to the business desk after a three-month rotation in the features department. Previously, he was the paper’s real estate reporter.
