Bon Appétit Management Company

The Bon Appétit team at Carleton kept their year’s Spring break staycation exciting by holding a virtual cooking demonstration showcasing Filipino food with a beloved special guest: Cashier Phoebe Wilmot.

The Bon Appétit at Gordon College team is a multi-talented bunch! Recently their culinary and operations team members alike have wowed the Gordon community with their impressive culinary creations, ranging from savory chili to mouthwatering sweets. 

Bon Appétit at Whitman Dishwasher Debbie Walker memorialized the pandemic and brought joy to her co-workers by sewing masks and a commemorative quilt.

Recently Chief Strategy and Brand Officer Maisie Ganzler was invited to join the Food by Design podcast to talk about “moo-ving away from beef and cheese” and how to help people make subtle shifts toward more climate friendly choices.

What do you do when you hear about needy international families living on campus and seniors in the community with no way to get food? You get to work.

The past Bon Appétit Fellows share what they learned — and what advice they’d give current food-activist students.

“You’ll burn yourself out if you try to fix everything that’s wrong with our food system.”

“Spend at least a month (ideally a season!) working full time on a farm.”

“I became a confident speaker, panel facilitator, writer, and photographer. I’ve used these skills over the course of my career to investigate social and environmental problems.”

“Ask questions, lots of them. I think in our current information age, we’re often overwhelmed, oversaturated, and we are quick to place things into “good” or “evil.” But the truth is, the world is much more complicated than that.”
