On October 5, 2009, Condé Nast announced that Gourmet (along with Cookie, Modern Bride and Elegant Bride) will close it doors due to a decline in ad pages.
Eight-year employee
Kevin Demaria put together an online photo journal called
The Last Days of Gourmet:
October 5th, 2009 In shock and disbelief, using garbage pails for long exposures, I took these photos of the last days at Gourmet. Although at times it was hard for me to shoot the common places in the offices at Gourmet, I knew I needed to document where I loved working for the last 8 years. It was a unique opportunity to have worked with such amazingly talented people in such a friendly work environment. Gourmet became my family and I will always look back proud to have been part of such an amazing magazine.
Having been a subscriber, I will thoroughly miss such a well put together magazine.
