Andrew Knowlton
Deputy Editor. Andrew has worked at Bon Appétit since, like, forever (2000 to be exact). He oversees the magazine's restaurant coverage, including the annual Hot 10 list, and writes the rather opinionated Foodist column that has run in the magazine since 2008. He lives in Brooklyn with his wife and two daughters (the older is named after a popular Southern cocktail). He likes all Atlanta sports teams, boiled peanuts, the Dead, JAWS, steal frame bicycles, and running long distances. He dislikes all New York sports teams, kiwis, kidneys, green bell peppers, and drivers who park in bike lanes. Spirit food: Hash browns scattered, smothered, covered, peppered and, if he's really tipsy, chunked
