eGullet will be offline this weekend

[Fat Guy]

eGullet will be offline from Friday September 3 until Monday September 6

Dear eGulleters,

Last month, we announced that eGullet would soon officially reorganize as a not-for-profit public service organization: the eGullet Society for Culinary Arts & Letters. This weekend, we will have the site offline in order to implement software and design changes to reflect our new identity.

We will be back online after the weekend with a new look, expanded features, and a renewed sense of purpose: to increase awareness and knowledge of the arts of cooking, eating, and drinking, and to make further contributions to the literature of food and drink.

eGullet is at an inflection point. This upgrade will support us as we:

- Improve our service offerings

- Relaunch our discussion forums and our webzine

- Begin a new semester of the eGullet Culinary Institute

- Welcome the leading lights of the food world, as members and special guests

- Chronicle events and culinary happenings with unprecedented depth

And there’s much more to come. This autumn will be the most exciting phase in the three-year history of eGullet. We hope you’ll continue to help us write its story, as fellow scribes: friends, members, and supporters. Thank you for your commitment, past, present, and future.

On behalf of the eGullet team,

Steven A. Shaw, Executive Director

The eGullet Society for Culinary Arts & Letters
