Wow - Gourment Magazine closing - esgunn - 10-05-2009
Did you all here this? One of the unfortunate side effects of the internet. I for one, still love to sit down and flip pages and look at the pictures.
Condé Nast plans to announce this morning that it will close Gourmet magazine, a magazine of almost biblical status in the food world; it has been published since December 1940.
The magazine has sustained a severe decline in ad pages, but the cut still comes as a shock. There was speculation that Condé Nast would close one of its food titles — Gourmet or Bon Appétit — but most bets were on the latter. Gourmet has a richer history than Bon Appétit, and its editor, Ruth Reichl, is powerful in the food world.
In addition to Gourmet, Condé Nast plans to announce it will also close Cookie, Modern Bride and Elegant Bride. Cookie is a relatively new introduction, started in 2005, while the bridal magazines were seen as offshoots of the bigger Brides magazine, which Condé Nast also owns.

Well this is just a bummer. I love their holiday additions so much. I still have several I've kept because the aritcles were so good.

I am sad to see this one go. Hopefully the old recipes will remain available on Epi. If they had to choose, I would have rather see the "new improved" Bon Appetit go, but no one asked me.

Ruth R. had really turned Gourmet around and Coleman (from Saveur) added a lot of flair. I like Bon Appetit a lot, but it hasn't been the same since William Garry died. Maybe Ruth and Coleman will slide over to BA--that would be a great move.
