devastated.

 

I grew up with this magazine, learned about food and travel by reading the exquisite editorial features, and still treasure each edition like a favorite book.

From today's New York Times:

Gourmet did not lack for impassioned readers. Alice Waters, the California restaurateur, said she nearly started crying when she heard of the closing. Gail Zweigenthal, a former editor in chief of Gourmet, said she was saddened. “I think it was the first magazine that taught people how to navigate the intricacies of foreign travel, where to stay, what to eat,” she said. “It was such a special magazine. It had such history.”
