Today I received my last issue of Gourmet magazine. And I just reupped my subscription. They are shutting down and the November issue will be the last.
San Jose Merc reports that foodies (like me) are stunned.
I'm going to miss that magazine. Seems that the advertisers of luxury goods have scaled back too much. Ad revenue was too far down.
I remember one issue that had a centerfold. I can't recall what it was showing, but it was interesting. I was holding the magazine up sideways and staring lustfully at the unfurled centerfold pages. Sarah came into the room and accused me of looking at food porn. Yup, I was. She got a good laugh out of it.
Now I'm going to need to find my food porn on the internet.

I am so sad about them doing this. Couldn't they have ditched Town and Country or something else totally lame?
I used to have a subscription and will treasure the ones I've kept.
I suppose the intarwebz has a fair amount of food porn, but I prefer magazines for whatever reason. A kink of mine, if you will. :)

There is something about sitting in an easy chair with a good book or magazine that is not replaced by a web page (or even a kindle).
When I was young, we had books written on paper, and we liked it!
