Conde Nast has announced the demise of Gourmet. This is what happens when you experience an ad revenue drop of 46% in the first half of the year. I have to say I'm really sorry that Gourmet is taking the hit since I think it's a better magazine than it's sister at Conde Nast, Bon Appétit. I know I've been picking it up more and more and always come away more impressed with the photography, story lines and recipe eagerness (desire to immediately make a dish from the recipe) I found in it's pages. I'm hoping that Conde Nast will reconsider but these are tough times especially for the publishing industry. Here's hoping Top Chef Masters snatches up Ruth Reichl as a permanent judge.
