Quoting Sean Dennis to All <=-
America's Test Kitchen

America's Test Kitchen
It's the PBS show started by the Cook's Illustrated Magazine people.
Both are famous for extensive recipe testing and very detailed instructions.
One of their alumni is J. Kenji Lopez-Alt who blogs at Serious Eats
and who I follow closely for those reasons. He not only does fancy super-cheffy stuff but recreates fast food favourites meticulously,
unlike Gloria Pitzer or Todd Wilbur who come kinda close but never
bang on.

I've been watching both shows for over a decade now though these days I catch both shows on the Roku channel rather than PBS locally.

Is prissy old "Bow Tie Bob" still the host? I've not watched for some
time as his simperimg nit-picky presentations were a big reminder to
me that the TeeVee remote has both a "Channel up" and a "Channel down" button. Bv)=

Christopher Kimball was fired from his own company several years ago
for that very reason (surprise, surprise) and now runs Milk Street Kitchen. His two female lead cooks, Bridget Lancaster and Julia Collins-Davidson now cohost both "America's Test Kitchen" and "Cook's Country".
Probably a good thing for their ratings that he got the chop. But I'd
be willing to wager that their recipes are just as detailed - even if presented in a more civil manner.
IMO this is "cottage pie" for all that it's a tasty dish. Bv)=

Yes, still very detailed and thought-out but presented with
a sense of humor and more amicable presentation. I enjoy
watching both ATK and Cook's Country these days.

No matter the name, it still looks tasty. :D

I know, right? Authentic is authentic and tasty is tasty. They don't
have to be mutually exclusive.

If it's good, I don't care what it's called.

Reminds me of a Boy Scout Jamboree I attended 35 years ago or so.
There were a lot of Mormons in attendance but we had a very nice boy
who came from a non-religious family participating. So he was asked to say grace and he said in a soft, humble voice: "Good food, good drink, good God, let's eat!" He meant every word he said, too. Don't know
what ever happened to him but I hope he escaped the abject poverty he lived in.
