Longtime S.F. Gourmet Blogger Sad About the Publication's Demise; Reichl Tweets Adieu
The long-time local blogger for Gourmet told SFoodie she was sad to hear that the 69-year-old food magazine's November issue will be its last. "You worry about who's going to do all that in-depth writing that we're all still very attracted to," said Peggy Knickerbocker. In addition to blogging for Gourmet, the S.F. food writer produced a handful of print stories for the magazine over the past two decades. Knickerbocker wrote her last online piece for the publication about a year ago.

Meanwhile, outgoing Gourmet editor Ruth Reichl managed to thank her supporters and write an ave atque vale in 139 characters (including spaces) via tweet: "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."
