Chronicling the ‘Last Days of Gourmet‘

Back in early October, we told you about the death of Gourmet, the smartly designed magazine that always got our mouths a-watering. It’s been a strange new world without it and although we have other magazines to turn to when we’re feeling those foodie urges, we certainly still miss it. We were made all the more melancholy when we found former art director Kevin Demaria‘s Last Days of Gourmet. It’s a heartbreaking collection of photographs from those final hours while employees cleaned out their desks, everything was boxed up, and the magazine was finally shuttered. Also, in this age of constant magazine deaths, the series helps paint a good picture of the real people and places involved in these closures.
