Talk about a scrumptious kickoff to NYFW: On Thursday, Bon Appétit  toasted its posse of Hot 10 chefs avec The Daily…

Bon Appétit is headed to a tube near you! The Condé title is making its small screen debut with a fresh…

Still missing NYFW with a hunger you can’t satiate? The Daily is still doling out the goodies you may have missed during that whirlwind week. Read up! Pamela Drucker Mann might be the only publisher to have hopscotched between Condé editorial mastheads before selling out—or up, rather—to the business side at Jane, Glamour (where she played for both teams), and, as of late, Bon Appétit. Even rarer? She has her very own stylist! Drucker Mann dished on Wolfgang Puck’s grub, her Brooklyn dining haunts, and the joys of waiting for a table.

Sharp-tailored suitsmith Thom Browne is a culinary creature of habit. Bon Appétit EIC Adam Rapoport is an unrepentant clothes horse who will eat anywhere—and has. On a recent afternoon at Browne’s TriBeCa boutique, they discussed the classics (La Grenouille), new frontiers (Long Island City, anyone?), and Thom’s ridiculous champagne collection. It was delicious.

Yesterday’s media attention may’ve been captured by the buzzy moves over at Hearst, but Condé Nast trotted out some major subscriber-skewed news today: Amazon.com and the publishing giant have joined forces to sell magazine subscriptions through the online retailer, via a service entitled “All Access”. The initiative will offer readers an opportunity to purchase or renew subscriptions, for print and digital, through their Amazon accounts.

Publishing’s most affable category chameleon, Carol Smith hopscotched from Elle to Bon Appétit to her current home of the past year and a half, Harper’s Bazaar. A fashion homecoming of sorts? You betcha! The secret to her success? Some familiar faces from her six-month tour of Condé—and, yes, working weekends.

Conde Nast announced a duo of internal publisher shuffles today. Paul Jowdy is now vice president and publisher of Details, replacing Steve DeLuca. Pamela Drucker Mann will be Jowdy’s successor as the new vice president and publisher of Bon Appétit. Jowdy most recently served as vice president and publisher of Bon Appétit, a position he has held since 2005. Prior to Bon Appétit, Jowdy was publisher at Details (a moment of career déjà vu, perhaps?) and previously served as an associate publisher of Vanity Fair for two years and advertising director of Conde Nast Traveler for three years. Drucker Mann was most recently the associate publisher in advertising at Glamour. Both publishers will continue reporting to William Wackermann, executive vice president and publishing director of Bon Appétit, Details, Glamour, the Gourmet brand and W.
