Gourmet Magazine-legendary foodie pub is folding

Did you hear? GOURMET magazine has folded?? Save ur copies!Like a lot of you, we were shocked and saddened to read this October 5th morning that Gourmet magazine, one of the jewels in Condé Nast's publishing crown, is ceasing publishing after the November 2009 issue. Ad pages at Condé Nast have been falling drastically, but the smart money was on the impending folding of its more populist but less talked-about magazine Bon Appétit, or perhaps even on folding it into Gourmet. We immediately ran to Gourmet editor Ruth Reichl's Twitter page to see what she had to tweet. Follow US: www.twitter.com/citypeekpatti

Ruth Writes--2 days ago: Foggy fall afternoon. Cup of lemon tea. Outside the window a deer is munching on the lawn. About to start the Saturday puzzle. Happy.

Then DDay Oct 5- Thank you all SO much for this outpouring of support. It means a lot. Sorry not to be posting now, but I'm packing. We're all stunned, sad.  www.gourmet.com
