HBO Max turning the Bon Appétit scandal into comedy series Enjoy Your Meal

The Hollywood Reporter

The cooking magazine came under fire last year for having an allegedly toxic and racist workplace. HBO Max is using that controversy to satirically explore the toxic culture of the food media industry in the comedy Enjoy Your Meal. The half-hour show will "draw inspiration from the multiple media scandals of summer 2020 and today, focusing on a cohort of young assistants of color who rise up to tear their cookie cutter corporate culture apart," per The Hollywood Reporter, adding: "Former Bon Appétit employee Ryan Walker-Hartshorn, who used to be former editor-in-chief Adam Rapoport's assistant and the only black woman on staff, will serve as a consultant on the series."
