.tammieetc’s Twitter feed has become the “Page Six” of food media, a destination for news and rumors about the goings-on at Bon Appétit and other publications. nikitarbk reports
Photo: José A. Alvarado Jr./Redux Tammie Teclemariam appears, out of nowhere, through a kitchen window at the rear of a stately three-story house in Ditmas Park, a bottle of Cavallotto “Pinner” 2018 in one hand and a delicate wineglass in the other. She hands them down to me and then materializes a few minutes later with her own already filled glass, a plastic container of drunken noodles, and her year-old rescue dog, Buffer.
Pouring herself another glass of wine, Teclemariam says that the moment she realized she would never want to work at Bon Appétit — a decision largely based on conversations with current staffers about the workplace culture — her attitude toward the brand shifted. “I thought, Now that I know that they’re actually being trash, fuck it, we’re cyberbullying Bon Appétit,” Teclemariam says.
If Teclemariam’s role in the respective downfalls of Rapoport and Duckor seemed at all like a fluke, the morning of June 29 changed that. After dropping hints over the weekend — “Stay tuned for monster manager Monday!” she tweeted — Teclemariam shot off a series of allegations against the New York–based editor of the Los Angeles Times food section Peter Meehan, ranging from “a very poor understanding of L.A. geography, food, and culture” to sexual harassment and verbal abuse.
Teclemariam insists that much of what she has tweeted was easily gathered from in-person and online conversations, even if Twitter — and her furtive sources — don’t exactly allow for showing one’s work. “If actual journalists want to talk to my sources, I’m happy to refer them,” she says. “I’m not making shit up, and I’m not doing this out of some kind of sick fantasy to take over media. I’m just over here living in the same pandemic that we all are. And I’m fed up.
“What I’m talking about is people’s careers, people’s paychecks, and people’s livelihoods,” she says. “And I don’t want to ask an outlet for permission to publish something when I’m pretty sure that my sources are solid. I feel too much urgency. I don’t fucking care.” Still, she’s made mistakes. According to an L.A. Times spokesperson, she misstated how much Meehan was earning in his position at the paper and she had to walk back an inaccurate report that Bon Appétit drinks editor Alex Delany had been fired when he’d actually been suspended.
