The thing about Conde Nast shuttering Gourmet is that, while it may have been totally logical and appropriate and even maybe a long time coming, it just seems like such an un-Conde thing to do. Why grant The New Yorker, charmed as it is, special immunity, only to axe a similarly marquee title? While Gourmet may have been a luxury brand -- perhaps even uncomfortably so -- isn't that what Conde is supposed to be all about?

Like, to a fault?

Like, Anna Wintour will probably never have to take a cab?

Ever?
