A Disastrous Follow-Up on the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen

A lot has happened since my last video on the ‪@bonappetit‬ Test Kitchen. In an unscripted format, we pour ourselves a cocktail and process the past several weeks. We'll touch on racism, pay equity, and soup, among plenty else. Hope you'll stick along for the ride.

As of updating this description, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to rage on, and in countries like the US, many continue to be economically ravaged due to lack of community and government support. I would also like to continue supporting causes addressing police brutality and oppression. The conversation may have died down, but little has fundamentally changed. As such, it feels wrong to encourage you to donate to me when there are far better uses for your donation. Below are some US charities, but I encourage you to donate locally and to causes you believe in:

The Bail Project's trying to reform US bail nationally: https://bailproject.org/

The NAACP has been fighting for racial justice for over a century: https://naacp.org/

Find your local food bank through Feeding America: https://www.feedingamerica.org/find-y...
