The final word on Gourmet's sad demise: this article in Brown University's Post- magazine by our fashionable former intern, Marshall Katheder.
Perhaps rapper Biggie Smalls said it best when he emceed, “It was all a dream, I used to read Gourmet magazine, Salt n’ Pepa and Heavy D up in the limousine.” Since its founding in 1941 and before its untimely demise last week, Gourmet
was an inspiration to people of many walks of life: domestic shut-ins,
patients waiting at the podiatrist’s office, food fanatics and people
with way too much thyme on their hands.
