Reply All: #172 The Test Kitchen, Chapter 1

In the summer of 2020, Bon Appétit faced an online reckoning. It imploded, seemingly overnight, former employees calling it a racist and toxic workplace. But the story of what actually happened there started ten years earlier. This is Chapter One, "Original Sin," of our series The Test Kitchen. This is chapter one of a four part series reported and presented by Sruthi Pinnamaneni.
Here are some recipes to try from the people featured in this week's story:
Yewande Komolafe's yam and plantain curry with crispy shallots and sheet-pan gochujang chicken.
Sue Li's caramelized onion galette and creamy turmeric pasta.
Rick Martinez's mole sencillo.
Eleanore Park's ginger-scallion meatballs with lemony farro.
Also, you can read Rachel Premack's breaking story on Bon Appétit from last summer here.

I'm pretty sucked in too. White male bosses should be forced to listen to this.

I made Rick Martinez’s controversial tamales for Christmas this year. They are excellent.

Listening today! I saw on Rick’s (amazing) Instagram stories that he was filming an intro for a show on the Babish Culinary Universe! He said it would be about his life and food in Mexico since he moved.
I can put the next episode up later today but if someone gets there first feel free, can’t listen immediately (it’s 6:30am in France as I’m writing this!).

Food and restaurant journalism is eight pages down on the list of things I care about or would ever want to read. But this is great. Pinnamaneni always makes interesting radio.

I am so curious about this, but I haven't been able to bring myself to listen to it yet--the whole test kitchen implosion made me so, so sad, kind of like if your best friends got divorced and you found out it was really bad and abusive...
