Cook's Illustrated's Chris Kimball on NYT

I used to watch "America's Test Kitchen" everyday (recorded on the Tivo). But stopped after they changed a few of the stars out and I started to think Chris was getting weird.

It was interesting to read the Sunday magazine article in the NYT on him, how he got to where he is and a short history of Cook's Illustrated. It was quite successful right off the bat and in large part to him.

I still enjoy the show once in awhile and have one of their cookbooks. I enjoy the science that they put into cooking but I just haven't fallen in love with the show that I once had.

Best quote: “We don’t make the ultimate anything,” he said. “Were they the world’s best burgers — no, probably not. But if you get food on the table and it works, we’ve done our jobs.”
