It makes me feel good about Epicure. Similarly, I don't think the London papers don't seem to be as good as ours apart from The Observer Food Monthly which my mum posts out to me which is a great glossy. I;ve always found many of the established American mags have a very fixed form in terms of type and content. the new generation of mags such as Wired, Fast Company and Ready Made are different. But they are not food mags. I was uncharacteristically very polite about it but you’ve hit the nail on the head. It makes me feel good about Epicure.

It looked like something from the 80s. Plus I was surprised it didn't include any restaurant reviews. Certainly the Aussie papers seem to be far ahead in terms of content and aesthetics. I recently saw a US edition of Gourmet and honestly thought it was a vintage edition from 1985. Not so - it was current. Based on those two experiences, I can understand the US craze for the clean lines and fresh colours of Donna Hay and her ilk. I was also surprised at the dated look of the SF Chronicle food section.
