Craig Stoltz, a former travel editor of the Washington Post, is a freelance journalist covering travel, food, and drink. His work has appeared in Garden & Gun, Fodor’s, Frommer’s, GoWorld Travel, Wine Traveler, and many other publications. He writes about food for Virginia Living magazine, publishes a Substack newsletter called Eat the World, and is senior editor of Food, Wine & Travel Magazine, the publication of the International Food, Wine, and Travel Writers Association.
