I'm the ex-Industry Standard editor who's launching Chow magazine. I never thought of Sassy & Gourmet. That's not bad. Sometimes I say Maxim & Bon Appetit, which means nothing, except that we're a lot more interested in fun & pop culture than they let on that they are at Conde Nast. Alacarte's right, we're still raising money & introducing ourselves to advertisers, so we've been keeping somewhat under the radar. We'll launch the website and newsletter in a month. We're planning the first issue of the magazine for the beginning of next year. Chow's for a younger audience and for people with broader interests than what's addressed in the other food mags. That is, we are passionate about good food -- and also interested in food as art, cultural mirror, business, fashion, entertainment, daily chore. We've been to Chili's. And back. If you've got any thoughts on what you hope to see, I'd like to hear them. And of course, once you see what we're doing, let me know what you think.
