About Us

In existence since 1997, Front Row Publishing and Media Services (previously Grumpy Gourmet Publishing) pioneered the magazine publishing business in Jordan with the launch of the Arab world’s first quarterly magazine devoted to the hospitality industry.

Since then Front Row has firmly established itself as the leading publishing house in Jordan, producing original, inspiring, and rich editorial content and reaching a large and loyal readership. Its success rests on a solid foundation of quality content, innovative design, and personalized care for a diverse client base.

Through a comprehensive line of publications, a global network of contacts, and dynamic partnerships with international providers, Front Row continues to set the standards of publishing in Jordan.

Today, we offer a comprehensive line of English and Arabic publications; reaching over 150,000 readers every month and covering the latest and most relevant topics in society, culture, politics, business, and pop culture in Jordan and around the world.

Our publications include several of the most respected magazines in Jordan including lifestyle influencers Living Well and Anty, business voice Jordan Business, décor expert Home magazine, and the wedding specialist Living Well Weddings.

We also proudly host one of the most highly anticipated and widely talked annual events, the Grumpy Gourmet Awards. Every year leading hotels, chefs, restaurants, spas, and restaurateurs in Jordan and Lebanon vie for the coveted Grumpy Gourmet trophy in a glitzy high-profile gala dinner.
