Gourmet, 1941-2009

Everyone remains sad about Gourmet's passing, but sometimes, you gotta wonder if money was being spent wisely. Says Ruth Reichl on Conde Nast's prodigality: "...it was a whole new world for me. I had never been picked up in a Town Car or been given a clothing allowance. [Conde Nast owner] Si Newhouse truly believed in quality above all else." [St. Louis Post-Dispatch]
