Ron Mikulak
(Executive Editor) Ron Mikulak, a founding staff member and former Editor-in-Chief of F&D, has also served as the Assistant Food Editor at the Courier-Journal, where for nine years he managed the test kitchen, cooked hundreds of restaurant dishes requested by C-J readers for the "Cook's Corner" column and developed his own recipes for feature articles. After retiring from the newspaper in 2013 he happily returned to F&D, where he now writes the popular columns “Cooking with Ron” and "Comings and Goings." Ron also pens the pithy restaurant guide blurbs that try to capture the spirit of all the area restaurants.
