Carly Westerfield
Associate Manager, Audience Strategy
Originally from Maine, Carly has a strong love of oysters and even stronger opinions about the proper temp to serve lobster rolls. Prior to joining the team at Epicurious and Bon Appétit, Carly earned a degree in finance and art history from the University of Denver. She eluded the corporate world for a time by working as a pastry chef at three Michelin-starred SingleThread Farms and Quail & Condor Bakery in Northern California and as a captain at Eleven Madison Park in New York City. Her food styling work has been featured in the New York Times and on Food52. When not contemplating what to serve at her next dinner party, you’ll find her walking her dog, Paco, in Central Park or scouring the city for the perfect negroni.
