Title: Would F&W exist if "Top Chef" didn't?
Review: I hung on to my subscription to F&W until just today, when I cancelled. They really should just rename it "Top Chef Magazine" and be done with it. Every issue now has the obligatory interview (or several) with a present/former Top Chef contestant, his or her ideas on what makes food tick or what they think the next trend will be, etc. If I cared at all what these people think I would watch the show. I don't care and I don't watch and I don't want to pay to have their opinions delivered to me every month. Although each issue does showcase new recipes and ideas (as well as wine & beer, of course) it's irritating to be constantly reminded of their connection with "Top Chef." While some readers may think this a great plus for the magazine, to me it's nothing more than heavy-handed advertising and just not worth the money.
Is the review positive or negative?
