==History==
===Early history (1956–2010)===
''Bon Appétit'' was started in 1956 as a liquor store giveaway and was first published as a bimonthly magazine in December of that year in Chicago.<ref name="Wilson">{{cite journal|author=Terrie L.

Jones remained the editor of the magazine through both of these transfers. Knapp Communications also owned and published ''[[Architectural Digest]]'', which was edited by [[Paige Rense]]. Jones recruited Rense to restructure ''Bon Appétit''. She converted the magazine from a giveaway into a subscription-based, monthly magazine, as it remains today.<ref name="ans"/><ref name="MassMarket">{{cite book |last1=Nourie |first1=Alan |last2=Nourie |first2=Barbara |title=American mass-market magazines |date=1990 |publisher=Greenwood Press |isbn=978-0313252549 |pages=41–46 |url=https://irenehansen11.files.wordpress.com/2015/04/bon-appc3a9tit.pdf |access-date=18 June 2020 |language=en}}</ref><ref name="BADesserts">{{cite book |last1=Fairchild |first1=Barbara |title=Bon Appetit Desserts: The Cookbook for All Things Sweet and Wonderful |date=2010 |publisher=Andrews McMeel Publishing |isbn=978-1-4494-0200-6 |page=ix |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=m_Nz8PkYawYC&pg=PR9 |access-date=18 June 2020 |language=en}}</ref> Rense became the editor-in-chief in 1976.

===Move to New York (2010–2019)===
The magazine's headquarters was moved from Los Angeles to New York City in early 2011.<ref>{{cite web|author=Emily Fleischaker|url=http://www.bonappetit.com/blogsandforums/blogs/badaily/2011/01/from-the-test-kitchen-moving-d.html|title=Inside the Test Kitchen: Moving Day|publisher=bonappetit.com|date=January 20, 2011|access-date=December 30, 2011|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120215224652/http://www.bonappetit.com/blogsandforums/blogs/badaily/2011/01/from-the-test-kitchen-moving-d.html|archive-date=February 15, 2012}}</ref> Concurrent with the move, [[Barbara Fairchild (journalist)|Barbara Fairchild]], the editor since 2000, was succeeded by editor [[Adam Rapoport]], who was previously the Style Editor at Condé Nast's ''[[GQ]]'' magazine. Prior to joining ''GQ'', Rapoport edited the restaurant section at ''[[Time Out (magazine)#Time Out New York|Time Out New York]]'' and worked as an editor and writer for the [[James Beard Foundation]]'s publications office.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/03/dining/03Kitchen.html|title=A New Flavor for Bon Appétit|last=Moskin|first=Julia|date=November 2, 2010|work=The New York Times|access-date=March 6, 2018|language=en-US|issn=0362-4331}}</ref>

In 2011, ''Bon Appétit'' launched 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 magazine [[Gourmet (magazine)|''Gourmet'''s]] cancellation in 2009, during which a limited number of readers and advertisers shifted to ''Bon Appétit''. During the same period, other food magazines, such as ''[[Every Day With Rachael Ray]]'' and ''[[Food Network Magazine]]'' thrived. ''Bon Appétit'' sold 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.<ref>{{cite news |last=Elliot |first=Stuart |title=An Irreverent Campaign From Bon Appétit|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/24/business/media/24adcol.html|access-date=April 22, 2013 |newspaper=[[The New York Times]]|date=January 23, 2011}}</ref> Condé Nast reported 1,452,953 paid subscriptions and 88,516 single copies in 2012 for the period ending November 2012.

In August 2014, Condé Nast combined ''Bon Appétit'' and ''[[Epicurious]]'' into a single digital food platform led by Pamela Drucker Mann, ''Bon Appétit'' Senior Vice President and Publisher. Adam Rapoport was named Editorial Director of ''Epicurious''.<ref>{{cite web|title=Condé Nast Brings Together Bon Appétit and Epicurious to Create One of the World's Largest Digital Food Advertising Platforms|url=http://www.condenast.com/press/press-releases/2014/08/11/conde-nast-brings-together-bon-appetit-and-epicurious-create-one-wor|website=CondeNast.com (press release)|access-date=17 May 2015|archive-date=March 4, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304092315/http://www.condenast.com/press/press-releases/2014/08/11/conde-nast-brings-together-bon-appetit-and-epicurious-create-one-wor|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Starting in the late 2010s, ''Bon Appétit'' was noted for increasing their web presence through the use of social media, their website, and their YouTube channel.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Johnson |first1=Leah |s2cid=55265757 |title=Hungry for More? An Analysis of Bon Appétit's Digital Brand Extension Strategies and their Potential Uses and Gratifications |journal=Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University |date=May 3, 2017 }}</ref> From 2018 to 2019, ''Bon Appétit'' saw a 40 percent increase in video revenue and a 64 percent increase in subscriptions generated from digital channels such as [[product plug|social media plugs]], podcasts, and newsletters. The company worked to leverage the popularity of ''Bon Appétit's'' YouTube 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 the ''Bon Appétit'' Test 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 included [[Goose Island Beer]], [[The Mushroom Council]], [[Mitsubishi]], [[Kerrygold]] and [[Emily Weiss|Glossier]].<ref name="Digiday">{{cite news |last1=Barber |first1=Kayleigh |title=Bon Appétit is treating editors like influencers |url=https://digiday.com/media/bon-appetit-treating-editors-like-influencers/ |access-date=October 17, 2019 |work=Digiday |date=October 9, 2019}}</ref><ref name="Kerrygold">{{cite web |title=Pro Chefs Make 8 Different Freezer Meals {{!}} Test Kitchen Talks @ Home {{!}} Bon Appétit |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMEVC5hGw0c&t=29s |website=YouTube | date=May 30, 2020 |publisher=Bon Appétit |access-date=3 June 2020}}</ref>

=== Racism allegations and fallout (2020–present) ===
On June 8, 2020, [[Adam Rapoport]] resigned as editor-in-chief after a photo of him in [[Racial brownface|brownface]] was posted by food and wine writer [[Tammie Teclemariam]] on [[Twitter]] and sparked widespread criticism.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Instagram post by Adam Rapoport • Jun 8, 2020 at 11:21pm UTC|url=https://www.instagram.com/p/CBMT4rVg0H4/|access-date=2020-06-08|website=Instagram|language=en}} [https://bibliogram.pussthecat.org/p/CBMT4rVg0H4 Non-loginwalled link at bibliogram.pussthecat.org]{{Dead link|date=October 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> Rapoport also received criticism after food editor [[Sohla El-Waylly]] accused the magazine of discriminating against employees [[Person of color|of color]], claiming they were subject to lesser pay than their non-minority counterparts.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Alexandra Steigrad|date=2020-06-08|title=Bon Appétit editor-in-chief Adam Rapoport called to resign over brownface photo|url=https://nypost.com/2020/06/08/bon-appetit-editor-in-chief-called-to-resign-over-brownface-photo/|access-date=2020-06-08|website=New York Post|language=en}}</ref><ref name="NYTAdam">{{cite news|last1=Severson|first1=Kim|date=8 June 2020|title=Bon Appétit Editor Adam Rapoport Resigns|work=The New York Times|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/08/dining/bon-appetit-adam-rapoport.html|access-date=9 June 2020}}</ref> Amanda Shapiro took on the role of interim editor-in-chief soon after.<ref name="NYTShapiro">{{cite news|last1=Severson|first1=Kim|date=9 June 2020|title=Bon Appétit Names Amanda Shapiro as Interim Editor|work=The New York Times|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/09/dining/bon-appetit-amanda-shapiro-interim-editor.html|access-date=10 June 2020}}</ref>

In an interview with ''[[Business Insider]]'', Rapoport's former assistant Ryan Walker-Hartshorn, who is [[Black Americans|black]], stated that she had not been given a pay raise in almost 3 years with the company and was subject to numerous racist remarks and [[microaggressions]], with a number of other employees of color agreeing that there was a "'toxic' culture of microaggression and exclusion" at the company.<ref name="BusInsToxic">{{Cite web|last=Premack|first=Rachel|title=Bon Appétit's editor in chief just resigned — but staffers of color say there's a 'toxic' culture of microaggressions and exclusion that runs far deeper than one man|url=https://www.businessinsider.com/bon-appetit-adam-rapoport-toxic-racism-culture-2020-6|access-date=2020-06-10|website=Business Insider}}</ref> 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.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Greenspan|first=Rachel E.|title=After Bon Appétit's top editor resigned over complaints of racial bias, offensive tweets from Condé Nast's VP surfaced|url=https://www.insider.com/bon-appetit-matt-duckor-offensive-tweets-conde-nast-reckoning-continues-2020-6|access-date=2020-06-10|website=Insider}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=Todd|first=Sarah|title=How to have more productive conversations about race in the workplace|url=https://qz.com/work/1867066/how-to-have-productive-conversations-about-race-at-the-office/|access-date=2020-06-10|website=Quartz at Work|date=June 10, 2020 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=Premack|first=Rachel|title=Conde Nast has suspended a Bon Appetit video editor amid an internal investigation|url=https://www.businessinsider.com/conde-nast-suspends-bon-appetit-video-editor-2020-6|access-date=2020-06-26|website=Business Insider|date=June 25, 2020|language=en}}</ref>

In 2012, ''Bon Appétit'' launched a [[YouTube channel]] primarily featuring traditional "hands-and-pans" cooking tutorials.<ref name=Imbibe>{{cite web |url= http://imbibemagazine.com/brad-leone/ |title= Q&A: Brad Leone of Bon Appetit |last= Bass |first= Penelope |date= July 9, 2019 |work= Imbibe Magazine |access-date= August 23, 2019}}</ref><ref name="SaffitzPerfect">{{cite news |last1=Nahman |first1=Haley |title=How Bon Appétit Became a YouTube Sensation—and Why Claire Saffitz Is the Perfect Star |url=https://www.manrepeller.com/2019/10/how-bon-appetit-became-a-youtube-sensation-and-why-claire-saffitz-is-the-perfect-star.html |access-date=October 16, 2019 |work=Man Repeller |date=October 16, 2019}}</ref><ref name="NYTPivot">{{cite news |last1=Safronova |first1=Valeriya |title=What the 'Pivot to Video' Looks Like at Condé Nast |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/04/style/conde-nast-bon-appetit-food-video.html |access-date=19 June 2020 |work=The New York Times |date=4 April 2018}}</ref>
