Adam Rapoport (born 15 November 1969) is a former American magazine editor. He is best known for being the editor-in-chief of Bon Appétit magazine from 2010 to 2020.[1][2]

Early life and education

Rapoport was born in Washington, D.C., to Maxine and Dan.[3][4] He attended Woodrow Wilson High School, graduating in 1987.[5] Rapoport then attended the University of California, Berkeley, graduating in 1992.[4] He grew up Jewish.[6]

Career

In 1994, Rapoport joined the James Beard Foundation as an assistant in the foundation's publication office.[4] In 1997, he joined the New York division of Time Out magazine as a restaurant editor.[4][7] In 2000, Rapoport became the Style Editor of GQ magazine.[8]

Rapoport succeeded Barbara Fairchild as the editor-in-chief of Bon Appétit magazine in 2010.[9]

In June 2020, Rapoport drew criticism after a photo, originally posted by his wife on Instagram in 2013, of Rapoport in racial brownface on Halloween 2004. He was wearing a t-shirt, a do-rag, silver chains, and a baseball cap embroidered with "Bronx", a reference to the New York City borough, where many Puerto Ricans reside.[10][11] His leadership was simultaneously brought into question after food editor Sohla El-Waylly accused the magazine of discriminating against employees of color.[12] That day, Rapoport announced he would step down.[8]
