Seersucker's Kerry Diamond Launches Food Mag For Women

The Carroll Gardens restaurateur takes her culinary passion to print with Cherry Bombe.


Having opened two restaurants (Seersucker, Nightingale 9) and a cafe (Smith Canteen) with boyfriend Rob Newton while maintaining a fulltime executive gig at Coach, Kerry Diamond has danced between the food and fashion worlds for the last three years.

It was only a matter of time before she devised a mashup.

This spring the Carroll Gardens restaurateur will combine her two obsessions with a new project: Cherry Bombe, an artfully designed bi-annual magazine celebrating women and food—"those who grow it, make it, serve it, study it, enjoy it and everything in between."

In other words, let's hear it for the ladies who make lunch.

In its first issue—due out this May—that mission will translate to interviews with female chefs such as Gabrielle Hamilton (Prune) and April Bloomfield (The Spotted Pig), profiles of celebrities with knife skills (director Sophia Coppola, supermodel Karlie Kloss), and spotlights on innovators like artist Jennifer Rubell or Tennessee pitmaster Helen Turner.

If all of that sounds too delicious for words, you can express your support of Cherry Bombe by contributing to its Kickstarter campaign for funding print and distribution costs.

Bonus: Donations will guarantee a copy ($18 each) before issues hit select stores around Brooklyn. That way you can have your cake and read about it too.
