In a word: RAD. I will even use it in a sentence: Jon Stewart is totally RAD to make a magazine mashup like this. I will say I'm curious to see how publishers like Conde Nast handle the new media of immediacy like Twitter or blogs. I heard rumor that Conde Nast dumped those publications to make financial room to buy out Elle, since they own the Project Runway property, which is profitable.
Another comment by moi -- who needs a FoodBuzz award when you've just been named One Lovely Blog by a fellow blogger? :) I wanted to let you know that Wasabi Prime has named Papawow! as One Lovely Blog, a nice honor bestowed by one blogger to another, and a chance to help spread the word about a blog's rad-ness, of which yours has in spades. Congrats!
You are too kind! It would be mayhem for them to drop the Gourmet brand altogether. What I can't grasp behind the whole thing? When was the last time you read a Gourmet magazine? They are 75% advertising! How could it possible not be profitable? Would it be ludicrous to have them 'trim the fat'?
