Julie Blacklidge | is D Magazine’s online publisher and wine columnist. She has been working online since 1998 when she graduated from San Francisco State University and started as Associate Editor for Iconocast, Business 2.0’s Internet marketing newsletter. In addition to a few dotcom bombs, she has worked with San Francisco magazine, Business 2.0, Maximum PC, MacAddict, and The Fort Worth Business Press. Her office is littered with wine bottles and sticks to the edict that it takes a lot of good wine to make great Web sites.
Jennifer Chininis | is the editorial director of dmagazine.com. She contributes food reviews to D as often as her appetite will allow.
Stephen Edmondson | is the online creative director at D. He wishes he had better knife skills.
Sarah Eveans | is the events editor for dmagazine.com and a contributing editor for D Magazine. She grew up in Overland Park, Kansas, and graduated from SMU. She is also a graduate of the California Culinary Academy, but somehow she still doesn’t cook very well. She has worked at The Food Network, Saveur, PaperCity, and In Touch, where she once had to fly to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to spy on Jessica Simpson (she wasn’t there). Her last meal would include pork dumplings, corn-filled empanadas, oysters, and apple pie a la mode.
Kristiana Heap | is managing editor of D CEO. She was born and raised in Odessa, Texas, graduated from TCU, and has a master’s in journalism from Columbia University. She got her start in the D empire as a summer intern and discovered Dallas’ dark underbelly while working as the society editor for People Newspapers. After a year as Park Cities People’s real estate editor, she realized that money can buy happiness—or at least cover the down payment. In her cubicle, you’ll find a bowling pin and a photo of Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell.
Todd Johnson | is the creative director at D. He grew up on Spaghetti-O’s. His palate has since become more sophisticate, but just barely. Todd prefers simple, basic flavors, but he still likes foam. His favorite meal of the day is caffeine.
Nancy Nichols | is a senior editor at D Magazine. Born in Dallas and somewhat educated at UT Austin, she has a degree in political economics. She did PR for the Dallas Blackhawks, was the GM of the Dallas Diamonds, and has worked for more than 20 years in and around the food business. She has written for D about restaurateur Tristan Simon, hockey great Mike Modano, and the Rockfish oyster deaths. Nancy has in her cubicle a bunch of menus and a folding chair from the Ottawa Senators.
