History

edit

Early history (1956–2010)

edit

Bon Appétitwas started in 1956 as a liquor store giveaway and was first published as a bimonthly magazine in December of that year in Chicago.[3][4][5]It was acquired by M. Frank Jones ofKansas City, Missouri,in 1965.[4][6]Jones was owner, editor, and publisher until 1970, when he sold the magazine to thePillsbury Company,who in turn sold it to Knapp Communications in 1975. Jones remained the editor of the magazine through both of these transfers. Knapp Communications also owned and publishedArchitectural Digest,which was edited byPaige Rense.Jones recruited Rense to restructureBon Appétit.She converted the magazine from a giveaway into a subscription-based, monthly magazine, as it remains today.[4][7][8]Rense became the editor-in-chief in 1976. Condé Nast Publications, the current owners, purchased Knapp Communications in 1993.Bon Appétit'ssister publication wasGourmet,before the latter was discontinued in October 2009.[9]

Move to New York (2010–2019)

edit

The magazine's headquarters was moved from Los Angeles to New York City in early 2011.[10]Concurrent with the move,Barbara Fairchild,the editor since 2000, was succeeded by editorAdam Rapoport,who was previously the Style Editor at Condé Nast'sGQmagazine. Prior to joiningGQ,Rapoport edited the restaurant section atTime Out New Yorkand worked as an editor and writer for theJames Beard Foundation's publications office.[11]

In 2011,Bon Appétitlaunched the "Bite me" advertising campaign, which had an estimated $500,000 budget that included print and online ads, billboards, posters, and sweepstakes. The ad campaign came after a period of "sluggish performance" following its sibling magazineGourmet'scancellation in 2009, during which a limited number of readers and advertisers shifted toBon Appétit.During the same period, other food magazines, such asEvery Day With Rachael RayandFood Network Magazinethrived.Bon Appétitsold 632 ad pages in 2012, which was a one percent increase from 625 ad pages sold in 2009 but a decline of 27 percent from the 867 ad pages sold in 2008.[12]Condé Nast reported 1,452,953 paid subscriptions and 88,516 single copies in 2012 for the period ending November 2012. The median age of its audience was 48.4, of which 74% were female.[13]

In August 2014, Condé Nast combinedBon AppétitandEpicuriousinto a single digital food platform led by Pamela Drucker Mann,Bon AppétitSenior Vice President and Publisher. Adam Rapoport was named Editorial Director ofEpicurious.[14]

Starting in the late 2010s,Bon Appétitwas noted for increasing their web presence through the use of social media, their website, and their YouTube channel.[15]From 2018 to 2019,Bon Appétitsaw a 40 percent increase in video revenue and a 64 percent increase in subscriptions generated from digital channels such associal media plugs,podcasts, and newsletters. The company worked to leverage the popularity ofBon Appétit'sYouTube and streaming channels towards increasing magazine readership. This included the November 2019 edition of the magazine, which had eight separate covers featuring the staff of theBon AppétitTest Kitchen seen on the channels. As well, advertiser interest increased, with many companies being drawn to the connections the shows’ hosts have with their audience. These companies includedGoose Island Beer,The Mushroom Council,Mitsubishi,KerrygoldandGlossier.[16][17]

Racism allegations and fallout (2020–present)

edit

On June 8, 2020,Adam Rapoportresigned as editor-in-chief after a photo of him inbrownfacewas posted by food and wine writerTammie TeclemariamonTwitterand sparked widespread criticism.[18]Rapoport also received criticism after food editorSohla El-Wayllyaccused the magazine of discriminating against employeesof color,claiming they were subject to lesser pay than their non-minority counterparts.[19][20]Amanda Shapiro took on the role of interim editor-in-chief soon after.[21]

In an interview withBusiness Insider,Rapoport's former assistant Ryan Walker-Hartshorn, who isblack,stated that she had not been given a pay raise in almost 3 years with the company and was subject to numerous racist remarks andmicroaggressions,with a number of other employees of color agreeing that there was a "'toxic' culture of microaggression and exclusion" at the company.[22]Vice President and Head of Programming and Lifestyle at Condé Nast, Matt Duckor, apologized and later resigned after past tweets seen as racist and homophobic were revealed, as well as accusations of being complicit or directly responsible for the pay disparities at the company.[23][24][25]

In August 2020, two months after the initial fallout, several members of the Test Kitchen announced they would not be returning to film videos for theBon AppétitYouTube channel due to a continued lack of progress in resolving issues atCondé Nast Entertainment.[26][27][28]Additionally, Walker-Hartshorn and Jesse Sparks, the only two black editorial staff members atBon Appétit,quit on the same day.[29]Dawn Davis, a black woman, was named the new editor-in-chief on August 27, effective November 2, 2020. This followed the announcements of Sonia Chopra as the new executive editor andMarcus Samuelssonas a brand adviser and guest editor.[30][31][32]

Beginnings and success (2012–2020)

edit

In 2012,Bon Appétitlaunched aYouTube channelprimarily featuring traditional "hands-and-pans" cooking tutorials.[37][38][39]

On October 21, 2016, the first episode ofIt's Alive with Braddebuted.[40]The series began with videos ofBrad Leone,the Test Kitchen Manager at the time, in theBon AppétitTest Kitchen demonstrating recipes for foods withmicrobial food cultures,but later moved on to more general recipes as well as outdoor segments at agricultural and food processing sites, including acocoafarm, asea saltharvesting facility, and a sausage factory. The series features a casual, unproduced style and comedic editing.[41]The series was edited by Matt Hunziker and filmed and produced by Vincent Cross until Cross's departure in early 2019 to fellow cooking YouTube channel,Binging with Babish.It was subsequently filmed, produced, and edited by Hunziker, whose style has been credited with shaping the aesthetic of the entireBon AppétitYouTube channel, includingshaky cam-style filming, frequent cameos by non-featured chefs, and a focus on kitchen mistakes.[38]

In July 2017,Gourmet MakeswithClaire Saffitzdebuted,[42]in which Saffitz attempted to recreate or elevate popular snack foods such asDoritos,Twinkies,andGushers.[43]Gourmet Makesconsistently trended on YouTube and developed acult followingon social media.[42][44]Saffitz's work has been described as taking "junk food staples and...elevating them from their humble processed beginnings into wonders ofgastronomy."[45]

The loose and personality-driven style ofIt's Alive,along withGourmet Makes,are noted as contrasting the "curated [and] posh" brand ofBon Appétit[46]and were described byForbesas having "changed the way Condé Nast approaches online video."[47]As a result, in February 2019,Bon Appétitlaunched three new series on astreaming channelwhich took a more personality driven approach to their content:Bon Appétit’s Baking School,aspin-offofIt’s AlivetitledIt’s Alive: Going Places,andMaking Perfect.[48]Bon Appétit’s Baking Schoolwas presented by Saffitz and taught the basics of baking a cake in a five-part series. The first season ofIt’s Alive: Going Placesfollowed Leone as he traveledCentral Texas,and was followed by a second season in June 2019 which followed Leone inHawaii.[49] The first season ofMaking PerfectstarredAndy Baraghani,Molly Baz,Brad Leone,Chris Morocco,Carla Lalli Music, and Claire Saffitz, and focused on making the perfect pizza.[41]It was followed by a second season in October 2019, with the additions of Christina Chaey and Rick Martinez. The second season focused on making the perfectThanksgiving dinner.[50]

Resignations and restructuring (2020–present)

edit

After the resignation of editor-in-chief Adam Rapoport in June 2020 and the subsequent fallout regarding inequitable pay for staff and contributorsof color,the channel became inactive and all members of the Test Kitchen stopped filming videos. Two months later, Rick Martinez, Sohla El-Waylly, andPriya Krishnaannounced they would be permanently leaving theBon AppétitYouTube channel due to a continued lack of progress in resolving issues at Condé Nast Entertainment.[26][27]Molly Baz,Gaby Melian,Carla Lalli Music, and Amiel Stanek made similar announcements soon after, followed by Claire Saffitz in October 2020.[28][51]Later that month, the channel relaunched with a video helmed by the new leadership of Dawn Davis, Sonia Chopra, and Marcus Samuelsson, announcing seven new hosts: DeVonn Francis, Tiana “Tee” Gee, Melissa Miranda, Samantha Seneviratne, Christian “Chrissy” Tracey, Harold Villarosa, Rawlston Williams and Claudette Zepeda as well as the return of Brad Leone, Chris Morocco and Andy Baraghani.[52]

Best New Restaurants in America

edit

Since 2009,Bon Appétit's editors, includingAndrew Knowlton,Senior Editor Julia Kramer, and Amiel Stanek, have put together a list of the "Best New Restaurants in America". The list is released annually at the end of August for the September issue, and begins with a 50-restaurant shortlist that is then narrowed down to "The Hot 10" list.[91]The first two years, the list was not in a specific order. Due to theimpact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the food industry,no list was released in 2020.[92][93]In September 2021, it was announced that there would not be any list for a second year in a row, with a "Heads of the Table" list released in its place. The list featured restaurants, chefs, and organizations that worked to benefit their communities and those most impacted by theCOVID-19 pandemic.[94]
