Emma Jacobson head shot - Bon Appétit

Emma Jacobson

Prior to joining Bon Appétit in 2026, Emma worked across a variety of food-focused roles, from an early marketing internship at Brightland to leading the social calendar at Food52. These days, she can be found turning zoomed-in videos of beans into Instagram carousels, designing graphics about the Test Kitchen’s favorite hyper-specific products, and finding any excuse to bring a tripod and ring light to restaurants in New York City and beyond. Outside of work, Emma tends to her rooftop garden in Brooklyn (so far, she’s harvested one tomato and one mini pepper), assembles masterful park-day sandwiches, and regularly texts her sister for photos of her dog, Bagel.
