In November 2023, Publisher Ed Avis and I were forced to make a decision we didn’t want to make: to stop publishing the print edition of el Restaurante that we’d been so proud of since launching the publication in January of 1997.
With print and postage costs skyrocketing, we knew we had to take that step; but we weren’t sure how you, our readers and advertisers, would respond to an all-digital format.
Ed and I are beyond happy to report that the response, across the board, has been more than we could have expected!
The data we’ve collected over the past year shows that readers are coming not only to the bimonthly issues of el Restaurante that are available in three formats (digital, downloadable flip book still beautifully designed by Art Director Ala Ennes, plus web-optimized versions in English and in Spanish) — they’re also opening our biweekly eMex newsletter, and visiting elrestaurante.com and our social media sites more often than ever before to read news that’s updated daily.
It has been a challenging year, but one we’re closing full of gratitude to everyone who has not only stayed with us but also cheered us on as we’ve worked to create a resource for Mexican- and Latin-inspired restaurants and other foodservice businesses that we’re proud of — one that continues to bring information we hope is helping restaurant owners, chefs and industry vendors successfully navigate the exciting, evolving industry we’re all part of.
Ed and I extend heartfelt thanks to all of you, and send sincere wishes for a wonderful holiday season and a healthy, happy, prosperous year ahead.
