MacKenzie Chung Fegan

Senior Commerce Editor

As Bon Appétit’s senior commerce editor, MacKenzie oversees all things shopping, from holiday gift guides to kitchen appliance and cookware reviews to determining which snack subscription box is actually worth your money. Her writing on the intersection of food, drinks, culture, and politics has appeared in GQ, Playboy, Vice, Paper, Wine Enthusiast, and The San Francisco Chronicle, and her profile of chef Brandon Jew for Resy appears in the 2021 edition of The Best American Food Writing. In a previous life, she was a video director and producer; her documentaries have won Webby Awards and screened at museums like the Centre Pompidou. In previous previous lives, she worked for social justice organizations like the Ford Foundation and Human Rights Watch, hosted an arts and culture show for BRIC TV, and lived on a dubiously buoyant tugboat in Alaska. The New Yorker called her family’s restaurant “the best Chinese restaurant in the world,” an accolade for which she can take no responsibility.
