Founder of Cherry Bombe & Host of Radio Cherry Bombe
Kerry Diamond is the founder of Cherry Bombe, the media and events company that celebrates women in and around the food world. When Kerry opened her first restaurant in Brooklyn in 2010, she realized the stories of women in culinary were not being prioritized, so she decided to do something about it.
Today, Kerry is editor-in-chief of Cherry Bombe’s print magazine; host of Radio Cherry Bombe, the country’s #1 podcast dedicated to women and food; and author of the Cherry Bombe Cookbook, featuring recipes from 100+ female chefs, bakers, and artists. Over the past 11 years, the company has shared the stories of more than 1,000 women in food, from Ina Garten to Padma Lakshmi and Alice Waters.
Kerry has also worked at WWD, Harper’s Bazaar, Lancôme, and Yahoo, and owned several Brooklyn restaurants and the Smith Canteen coffee shop, which was recognized for its sustainability efforts. Recently, she hosted the HBO Max companion podcast for Julia, the series inspired by the life of Julia Child.
A lifelong New Yorker and graduate of SUNY Plattsburgh, Kerry serves on the board of directors of the Food Education Fund, a nonprofit that supports New York City public high school students interested in hospitality careers, and the board of NYC Tourism + Conventions. She loves the intersection of culinary arts and culture, and is committed to supporting women and bringing people together through food and drink.
