Last Days of Gourmet: A Photo Essay by Kevin Demaria

Kevin Demaria, the former associate art director of Gourmet, captured the last days at the magazine with this photo essay. (Gourmet to Go?) It makes me want to kiss my keyboard. I still can’t believe Gourmet is gone. Food writing is in transition and it’s getting scary.

Former Dallas Restaurant Critics: Mary Brown Malouf

I’ve been at my post here at D Magazine for 13 years. Sometime I wonder how many calories I have eaten; other times I wonder how many of those calories were actually worth ingesting. Restaurant reviewers eat more low-to-medium quality food than spectacular meals.

Anywhoo, in the post below, I mentioned Michael Hiller. He used to be a critic at the DMN. Over the years, I’ve seen lots of “critics” come and go. Anyone remember Betty Cook? Suzanne Hough (R.I.P)? Dave Faries? (Oh, he’s still here.) Or Mary Brown Malouf?

Mary was a real biyatch when she wrote dining reviews for the Dallas Observer. When she came to work at D in the late 90s, we became good friends. But Mary ditched D and Dallas and she’s now the Food and Travel editor at Salt Lake City Magazine. I just looked on their site and found a classic Mary Brown Malouf rant.  Gosh, I’m all nostalgic. Call me, Bill.

Jack Sosebee, R.I.P.

This just in from Jeffrey Jeffrey Yarbrough:

I am deeply saddened to inform you that Jack Sosebee passed away yesterday after a brief illness.  As you know Jack served as President of the Texas Restaurant Association in 1980 and was the Texas representative to the NRA Board for nine years beginning in 1986.  Funeral arrangements are as follows:
The viewing will be Wednesday, August 12 from 6 to 8 p.m. with services are scheduled for Thursday, August 13 at 2 p.m. at the Sparkman-Hillcrest Funeral Home Chapel, 7405 W. Northwest Highway in Dallas, Texas.
