Gourmet magazine will cease monthly publication, but we will remain committed to the brand, retaining Gourmet’s book publishing and television programming, and Gourmet recipes on Epicurious.com. We will concentrate our publishing activities in the epicurean category on Bon Appétit.
One might have thought Bon Appétit would be the title to go, rather than Gourmet, eh? Because I can't keep up with my magazine subscriptions, I canceled Gourmet a while back, but I did purchase the above issue because I had heard about the potential shut down.
How do you feel about this?
