Bon Appetit editor-in-chief Adam Rapoport has resigned his position after several Bon Appetit staff members and freelance contributors publicly called for his resignation on Monday, alleging that a racist culture permeated throughout the brand.
...
In a post on his personal Instagram account, Rapoport announced his departure:
I am stepping down as editor in chief of Bon Appetit to reflect on the work I need to do as a human being and to allow Bon Appetit to get to a better place. From an extremely ill-conceived Halloween costume 16 years ago to my blind spots as an editor, Ive not championed an inclusive vision. And ultimately, its been at the expense of Bon Appetit and its staff, as well as our readers. They all deserve better. The staff has been working so hard to evolve the brand in a positive, more diverse direction. I will do all I can to support that work, but I am not the one to lead that work. I am deeply sorry for my failings and to the position in which I put the editors of BA. Thank you.

I have all of the annual cookbooks and back issues. Such a treasure.
“So, as an editor, the question Im now asking our team is how do we locate the intersection of food and politics in this current moment?”
Leftist word salad. Bon Appétit.

You create recipes for people. Get over yourself.
That’s all he’s guilty of. Wow what commies.
“I am deeply sorry for my failings and to the position in which I put the editors of BA. Thank you.”
He forgot to add “Please walk on me”. Not groveling enough to meet today’s standard.
Exactly. Why are all of these people buckling under pressure from people they don't know about something they might have said a decade and a half ago?
People change. The culture changes. Life moves on.
The worst I've heard is this coach for the San Antonio Spurs, Gregg Popovich. You can tell he is a big liberal who hates Trump. But he said the other day he is "embarrassed to be a white person". Really?
Good Lord guy. Get real. Since you can't change your race, you better work on the "embarrassed" part.
How do people like this get to be in positions of leadership and think like that? No maturity at all. Sounds like a 4th grader.
Yes, I like Alton.
Hes a food nerd.
Yep. Pure insanity.
Will Howard Stern resign now for all of his racist humor and makeup over the years? I guess going anti-Trump 24/7 is his insurance policy.

Yes. I just finished Bring Me the Plums by Ruth Reichl. It was an interesting look at the changes Gourmet went through over the years.
This ruins my appetite! Coming soon. NEW RULES FOR BLACK AND WHITE BREADS!
His confession rings so...Chinese communist.
