Talk:America's Test Kitchen

message: In the episode broadcast tonight (Season 14 #1) on Create, they presented a recipe for Beef Burgundy, and Kimball remarked that "if Julia were still with us", this is a recipe that she'd invite everyone over so she could cook it. Julia is listed in the credits,but doesn't appear on this episode. The following episode (14-2) apparently has Julia on-camera.  Shot out of sequence, a contract resolved, or what?  2601:D:A380:C9:6885:88:7AD9:923F (talk) 08:24, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

message: I corrected the spelling of "Equipment Corner" host Adam Reid's last name, and it hyperlinked to a different Adam Reid. I am not sure how to correct that.

message: They always promote their "free recipes" when you watch their show, but it's not really free. Then, when you subscribe to their website recipes, bring your lawyer because (1) you must sign up for auto-renewal on an annual basis, (2) you have access only to America's Test Kitchen but not any of the confusing related entities (such as Cook's Country), (3) when you are charged the annual subscription of $39.95, YOU ONLY HAVE 48 HOURS TO CONTEST IT, and (4) when you call them to cancel, even if you've not used the service they will not pro-rate the cancellation/refund. As close to a scam without being illegal. I am filing all 4 complaints with the BBB today.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by AmTestKitchen fraud (talk • contribs) 22:20, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: PBS doesn't produce the shows it distributes to member stations, and unlike commercial television stations that are paid by the network for airing network shows, individual stations have to pay for the right to broadcast the shows. The owner of the show has the right to offer additional products/services and charge for them, just like your Mom had to pay for the Roy Rogers lunchbox you took to school each day.  Paying $40k for a car and $4/gallon for gas doesn't get you free meals at Olive Garden, either. it's a cruel world!  2601:D:A380:C9:6885:88:7AD9:923F (talk) 08:24, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
replies: text:  This show is enormously disturbing.  Except for Ms. Wu, the ladies are kind of frumpy-dumpy, but since they are catering to middle-America, i.e. average people, perhaps in flyover country, that's fine.  On the other hand, every male on the show looks like someone you wouldn't want to see driving slowly past your child's playground.  It's barely watchable.  Give me Jacques and Julia any day.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.171.176.156 (talk) 08:42, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  Kimball's phony "laughing" verbal tic is particularly disturbing, and it screams insincerity. He just sticks an "H" sound in the middle of a syllable, to pretend he's laughing, and it's about as convincing as a first grade play. A first grade playboy. So amusing. And condescending. Oh, Chris, you have such as sense of humour!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.154.255.97 (talk) 03:38, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

message: It appears that Christopher Kimball has left America's Test Kitchen.  His bio has been removed from https://www.americastestkitchen.com/tour/ 
"Bridget Lancaster is the executive food editor for New Media, Television, and Radio at America’s Test Kitchen."
"Julia Collin Davison is the executive food editor for the book division of America’s Test Kitchen and is an on-screen test cook for America’s Test Kitchen and Cook’s Country from America’s Test Kitchen."
In the past it said that Christopher Kimball was the food editor.
I also found an article called Why Christopher Kimball Is Moving On From America's Test Kitchen."

message: According to their website, Why We Are Suing Chris Kimball (https://whywearesuingchristopherkimball.com/), Kimball did NOT "found" ATK. He was an employee of the parent group, and THEY were the founders and owners. Kimball had some STOCK in the parent company, and was, of course, the front man. Whether this is true or not, I don't know. Hayford Peirce (talk) 16:37, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

message: Ran across this page and decided to spend some time copyediting it into shape. Because of the summary and the infobox, I'm assuming this page is focused on the TV show, not the company, and will edit accordingly. Which will probably mean removing some stuff that's not related to the show. 2macia22 (talk) 05:50, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
