Gourmet's Reichl: 'Stunned, sad'

Gourmet editor Ruth Reichl tweets, sounds like she was surprised at magazine's demise:

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, sad.

Reichl is the former New York Times and Los Angeles Times food critic and editor whose local food writing roots go back to California magazine (and further, to at least New West.)
