Editor in Chief Bon Appétit was called in to resign because of the brown photo

The call for the resignation of Bon Appétit’s old editor, Adam Rapoport, reached a boiling point after a photo appeared showing him in brown.

A freelance writer for Condé Nast’s foodie magazine on Monday dug up and posted a 2013 photo, originally posted on Instagram by Rapoport’s wife, Simone Shubuck, who showed the couple who appeared in brown because of Halloween costumes that were clearly visible.

The picture, which has since been taken down from Shubuck’s account, displays the words “me and papi” and the hashtag “boricua.”

Neither Condé Nast nor Rapoport responded to requests for comment.

Allegations arose soon after that the title Condé Nast’s food discriminated against paid minorities.

Sohla El-Waylly, a chef and restaurant owner who was hired last year as an assistant editor at Bon Appétit, accused on Instagram that only white editors are paid to appear in videos for the BA Test Kitchen video series. He said he was hired with a salary of $ 50,000 to “help white editors with far less experience than me.”

“I was pushed in front of the video as a display of diversity,” he wrote. “In fact, currently only white editors are paid for their video appearance. There are no colored people who get compensation for their appearance. “

Later that day, former Bon Appétit staff photographer Alex Lau voiced his concern about workplace culture brought about by Rapoport via Twitter. He wrote that he left the magazine “for various reasons, but one of the main reasons was that the white leadership refused to make the changes that my BIPOC [Black, Indigenous, People of Color] My colleagues and I constantly encourage me. “

He continued, “when I asked ‘why do we take food all over the world, but haven’t touched the entire African continent?’, Their response: ‘oh you know, the recipe is complicated, and readers might not want to make food. “

The problem starts at the top of Condé Nast, which has “Vogue,” “Vanity Fair,” “The New Yorker” and “GQ,” he said, referring to CEO Roger Moore and Vogue’s artistic director and editor Anna Wintour.

He added: “This is the last problem. blame roger moore, blame and others, blame everyone in the company that you have never heard of. they are responsible for creating this culture. “

The counterattack against Rapoport and Bon Appetit continued on Monday when the magazine posted an article about black-owned restaurants run by the city, which according to the article was “a practical way, actions that could be taken to stand in solidarity with the skin community. black now, and always. “

Food writers and lovers have compiled lists that highlight Black businesses in their cities. We want to share the work they have done, and will continue to update this page as more resources become available. https://t.co/Kx2ad6iOGF

Maestro de Braga is the first Portuguese in the National Symphony Orchestra of Cuba.

Maestro Filipe Cunha, Artistic Director of the Philharmonic Orchestra of Braga, has been invited to conduct the Cuban National Symphony Orchestra, as announced today.

According to a statement sent by O MINHO, “he will be the first Portuguese conductor to conduct this orchestra in its entire history.”

In addition to this orchestra, the maestro will also work with the Lyceo Mozarteum de la Habana Symphony Orchestra.

The concerts will take place on 4 and 12 March 2023 at the National Theater of Cuba in Havana.

In the words of the maestro, quoted in the statement, “these will be very beautiful concerts with difficult but very complex pieces” and therefore he feels “very motivated”.

From the very beginning, Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2 will be performed by an Italian pianist (Luigi Borzillo), whom the maestro wants to bring to Portugal later this year. In the same concert, Mendelshon’s First Symphony will be performed.

Then, at the second concert, in the company of the Mexican clarinetist Angel Zedillo, he will perform the Louis Sfora Concerto No. 2. In this concert, the maestro also conducts Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony.

“This is an international recognition of my work. An invitation that I accept with humility and great responsibility. I was surprised to learn that I would be the first Portuguese member of the Cuban National Symphony Orchestra. This is a very great honor,” the maestro said in a statement.

“I take with me the name of the city of Braga and Portugal with all the responsibility that goes with it, and I hope to do a good job there, leaving a good image and putting on great concerts. These will be very special concerts because, in addition to performing pieces that I love, especially Rachmaninov and Tchaikovsky, I will be directing two wonderful soloists who are also my friends. It will be very beautiful,” concludes Filipe Cunha.
