“I was the lone ranger out there,” said Bon Appétit Founder and CEO Fedele Bauccio, speaking to how the national dialogue around food system issues has developed in the 39 years since he started the company. Fedele was on the lineup at a daylong seminar hosted by Emory University and Spelman College, in collaboration with Food Tank, the nonprofit food think tank dedicated to food system reform.

What I’ve Learned About Food Waste as a Bon Appetit Fellow
In the past two years as a Fellow, I’ve engaged hundreds of college students around food waste issues to raise awareness and inspire others to address this problem. I’ve learned and shared how Bon Appétit is constantly evolving our commitment to addressing food waste companywide. And I’ve learned about how other players in this space are taking action, both on the ground and through legislation.
Purple Mountain Majesty in a Pint: Colorado College Hosts Locally Crafted Ice Cream Partner
Who knew making ice cream could double as an arm workout? The Colorado Springs community asked this very question as they shook plastic bags of heavy whipping cream, vanilla extract, sugar, and rock salt back and forth for ten minutes straight to make a classic vanilla ice cream (sprinkles optional).

Corporate dining may look completely different today than it did four years ago, but one thing has been a mainstay at Bon Appétit through it all: a desire to bring educational (and delicious!) experiences to our guests.
At @foundryandlux, our team has been hosting regular engagement events where tenants can come and get a hands on cooking class experience. In their most recent course, guests learned how to make empanadas and micheladas from scratch!

Did you know that switching from dairy milk to oat milk in your cereal every morning saves 158 g CO2e? This Earth Day, we're flipping the switch to plants to demonstrate food's role in climate change and how switching some of your everyday food choices can have a big impact!
We're challenging our teams to flip the switch throughout their cafés to plant-based or plant-forward alternatives that are less carbon-intensive, focusing their attention on the grill (our most carbon-intensive station!). Guests can grab their very own "switchboard" to track switches throughout their day and calculate their carbon savings.
Join us right here and on bamco.com to flip the switch with us! #EarthDay2024 #EarthDay
