don't support bon appetit :)

Gaby Melian is on youtube! You may remember Gaby from Bon Appetit (she recently posted on IG that she’s left BA), and she’s now launched her new channel. 

In this week’s video, Gaby is making Puchero Argentino:

Puchero is a type of stew originally from Spain, prepared in many countries from México to Argentina, and the Philippines too. The ingredients may vary, but the real secret like in any good homemade meal is to add a lot of love!

so BA is back and afaik they're still brushing everything that happened under the rug rather than fixing the problem. here's a reminder to not give them your money by watching their videos and instead support sohla and all the other chefs and editors of color who left BA video due to unfair wages and racist treatment.

Sohla has her own show on the Binging with Babish channel!

The Proskauer Rose investigation is complete, and they did not uncover “evidence that race played a factor in setting compensation for any video team members”. (Proskauer Rose being a law firm notorious for union-busting.)

With the conclusion of this investigation, Alex Delany and Matt Hunziker’s suspensions are over.

I’d like to point out one thing in this statement -

“Some of my colleagues in the test kitchen have been publicly supportive but privately complicit, even helping to interview BIPOC video candidates they know will be underpaid.”

This lends much credence to the allegations raised by @tammieetc on Twitter:
