Do you think ATK changed for better or worse after Kimball's departure?

[@vannshuttleworth4738]

I've gotten used to it...I miss Kimball and Landcaster and their comedy magic. Chris would have moved on, anyway. Just as well...

ATK is better without Kimball.

[@normanwyatt8761]

When you get away from all that off screen CRAP that happens to most T. V. programs You'll find a really great cooking show that has taught me so many tricks and recipies that have made my life more enjoyable.......The women and men that do all the cooking are a pleasure to watch like when I was a little kid watching mom make all those goodies that we all love to eat......BRAVO to A. T. K.......

[@judibickford5306]

Even in paradise, you have problems.

[@RodericSpode]

I agree. It's a great cooking show, and the same can be said of Cook's Country. Actually, Christopher Kimball's Milk Street is really good too. I used to watch a lot of Food Network, but to a large degree they've gotten away from instructional programming, so I pretty much stick to the PBS cooking shows. I've learned a lot from them.

[@siddie27]

Christopher Kimball was the show. Without him it's been a lame Duck. The interest is gone. It's a shadow of it's former self even though I like Bridget, Julia, Jack, and Adam. The fun of the show was watching the batter that took place between Christopher and Jack in the taste test segments. This is the trouble when a company goes from private to public.

[@robertkreamer7522]

Classic Boston approach., interesting that they don’t expand to creating cost effective and healthy recipes for food service entities. Could do podcasts for restaurants that pay subscription and pay to use the recipe.? Just thoughts . And with a built in marketing test of 50 k volunteers the restaurant would get a great deal of consumer acceptance. Sorry guys I am copyrighting this Copyright R kreamer 2024 all rights reserved.

[@patriciafuchs5970]

Love the magazine and the show. I also like Milk Street and am glad they have resolved their disagreement. I’m sorry that Kitchen appears to underpay their staff, hoping that unionizing will fix problems there.

[@a.mathis9454]

But what is the pay? Remember when the San Diego fast food workers went on strike because $16/hr wasn’t enough? Now a lot of them are out of work because companies can’t pay $20/hr and still be in business.

[@josephtn]

They aren't paid well for Boston. $20 - $21 as test cook starting out. ATK doesn't have a particularly good reputation as an employer in Boston either.

[@woodstream6137]

​@@a.mathis9454shareholders and executives are more important than workers. In the 70s, CEOs made 23x more than the average worker. Now CEOs make 300x the average worker and often cash out after 5-7 years. McDonalds CEO received almost $14M in stocks and options, $1.3 million salary and another $4.4 million in incentives. He also received $356,706 in “all other compensation,” which includes use of the company’s aircraft, contributions to retirement plans and other compensation. The CFO package was $10M while the foreign and American president compensation averaged $8M.

[@katherinesmith9985]

All of their main employees make vary good money. I'm not sure what their behind the scenes staffers make but their major and minor personalities make very, very good money!

[@jamescampolo7824]

What do you mean? America's Test Kitchen and Cooks Country have been paid to be on PBS for decades and they are sponsored.

[@antimuppet]

I am sad to hear that they were not paying people satisfactorily. I have been a long-time fan and enjoy Cooks Country.

[@rollofffrank2008]

I never knew it was that involved! Great show!

[@kathym6603]

After you go out and build a food empire come back and tell me of your great success and how you out-did ATK.

[@hearttoheart4me]

If you watch closely on some of the testing segments you can see when they scoop, spoon, dip or even taste a product. If THEY don't like a particular product they will scoop or press harder to get bad results. Just watch some of the cut aways for subtle clues.

[@RickLindstrom]

It sounds like chatgpt did the transcript for this with computer generated audio. The result and the accompanying visuals are finally just barely good enough. Does this mean we are at an inflection point in computer generated content?

[@1nittmo]

Christopher Kimball made the magazine what it was but the shows just grew beyond him. It's better he left and found a new outlet that suits him and ATK is better now without him.

[@blueblousedesigns]

Christopher Kimble also founded Milk Street Television

[@OZARKMOON1960]

The two ladies they have now are just lovely, but you could tell the minute Chris Kimball was no longer with ATK. Things changed and part of the approach was different. As with so many things in the world today, the minute some conglomerate bought it and starting 'putting their stamp on it' (read: messing with something that was working just fine before they joined it) the quality was diminished. Very sad.

[@southshoreduffer4831]

Not sure if the audio has been edited because of legal issues, but the long voids of audio make this almost useless.

[@davidcarlin3850]

When Kimball left, he took the soul of the show with him. The hosts are nothing but accessories. Kimball provided a lead and had a nice procrastinating edge to the show they since lost. Also just recently ATK announced a major layoff. The CEO there clearly did not understand what made this show good.

[@voxveritas333]

Typical corporate behavior. Destroy a good company and rip off the money. Mis-management 101.

[@shyamdevadas6099]

ATK has NEVER been as good since Kimball left. Bridget, Julia, and Adam are great, but some of these others they've shoe-horned into the line-up are just plain annoying. Milk Street isn't perfect, but at least it isn't the dish-watery thing that ATK has become.

[@davidcarlin3850]

There is a reason those others were support in front of the camera.

[@tnate6004]

I like the new lineup better. Kimball's cranky Vermont guy personna was grating after so many years and the show now has a more ensemble feel.

[@Yenyen-zm7xy]

My only reason to cancel my subscription was Kimball’s removal after noticing he is not the chief editor.

[@Mondegreen121]

You can tell in the video that not very many on the show stayed in good shape. No different then the rest of us.

[@GrammerAngel]

I used to watch the show every Saturday when it was on PBS. But it always seemed like they over complicated everything and used way more pans and dishes than necessary. I guess if I had a kitchen full of minions to wash and clean up after me I'd use every dish in the place too.

[@robertpollock8617]

I read it was disagreement on monetary compensation.

[@Antonin1738]

they got me to start cooking bacon in water

[@emmteemee]

And steaming my hard "boiled" eggs.

[@ryanhau1073]

So basically what happened to Kimball was a normal company dispute. Like the title kinda makes it out like something big, but it wasn’t anything special, not even something like a kinda controversial tweet

[@armchairzen]

I like ATK's product tests and recommendations. My observation is that the on-air personalities are .... not skinny. I could never warm up to Kimball. I'm not sure why. I like ATK better without him. What a curious thing to hear Kimball has never worked in a commercial kitchen.

[@debramedina5756]

He wasn't "kicked off," he chose to leave because he wasn't happy there. Click bait.

[@sonyafox3271]

Not really, he was seeking fame and, there was too many cooks in the kitchen! Hint,; he’s all about himself and, on America’s Test Kitchen he had to share the spotlight with several others! 6:12

[@Patty-bs3bz]

American companies are built on the backs of its workers labor. Workers deserve a living wage. Unfortunately greed has taken over our corporate culture and while the top get astronomical salaries, the workers suffer. I see the reason for the union and am glad staff diversity is part of it. I ❤ the show.

[@msolomonii9825]

You're speaking absolute TRUTH. Our Murican necrotic stage capitalism is just-plain cancerous. The cult of infinite greed.

[@HotVoodooWitch]

Not all workers are worth a "living wage." One then has to wonder exactly how to define "living" with regard to "wage." Considering how many people live above their means, does that mean that employers have to support that as well?

[@mikemprov1303]

Better.

[@pearly4253]

Unions increase labor costs, lay-offs result. Well, of course. That's hardly surprising. Greed? Sure. Greed is the reason for the existence of just about every business. All that means is that investors who can get 4 or 5% return on their capital in 100% safe investments expect considerably higher returns when they take on more risk. Otherwise, why take the risk? There may be one in 1,000 businesses that start up for the purpose of giving employees good-paying jobs and don't care about profits, but they rarely last long.

[@stevenj2380]

Is this on PBS Ch. 13 NY? What? Never saw a listing for it. I am not a 'fan' off PBS.

[@phillipgathright8001]

Kimball was also known to be a raging AH. Frankly, he was deadweight, which needed to be shed.

[@robstockton911]

Totally agree. This video says nothing about how staff cheered when he left. He financially ran ATK into the ground, which is why they had to bring in outside investors, who naturally wanted to get the business back into the black. This is such a hit-piece. I have to do a sarcastic little “boo-hoo” to the whole unionization thing: the employees unionized an outfit that barely made any money, negotiating higher salaries and benefits, then feigned surprise that the staff (from a completely superfluous unit) had to be downsized in response.

[@tnate6004]

The whole cranky Vermont guy schtick grew very tiresome. Haven't missed him at all - he seems to have toned it down for Milk Street, which seems a much better fit for him.

[@ddc163264]

When ATK went public and brought in new leadership, I told my co-worker then Kimball would be gone. That NEVER works out for the founder at ANY company. Amazing, unexpected, shocking...NOT! Bring in a union, demand more money and jobs are lost! So much for more money! Just like all these people in CA are learning about what $20/hr wages for unskilled work is doing for them. Stores closing, jobs gone, robots and automation replacing them. Nobody was forced to work there. If they didn't like the wages, LEAVE! If enough people were leaving, by simple laws of supply and demand, wages would have to change to keep staff. It's not a government job, its private, if you're good, negotiate better terms for YOURSELF. Now if you work harder, the slacker get the same wage as you do, because the UNION says so. Unions had their place 100 years ago and in small cases of dangerous jobs, but for the most part they've become just a slush fund for the leftists and the democrat party.

[@alfgwahigain5544]

Wow. You're so far off target with this. Workers need unions now more than ever, and if you don't understand that you're disconnected from reality.

[@ddc163264]

@@alfgwahigain5544 I'm IN a union and wish I wasn't. I've been in plenty of them! Including IATSE which is a NEEDED one because of the dangers in that area. But as you're probably a leftist liberal, you of course LOVE all the monies that siphoned off of peoples paychecks to support all the leftist trash that union leadership pushes. Where were the unions when Biden trashed all the pipelines? Those were UNION jobs! Where were the unions as car plants were shut down to send over to Mexico or cut back because the EV's don't require as many workers to build? The REALITY is I'd rather negotiate based upon my value than have some person TELL me that my work is the same as another person who puts in HALF the effort, just because they have the same title. I saw this when I was at a federal depot and a UNION worker was making over 80k to simply drive around a golf cart! While others had to make up for his work. Or the school teacher who couldn't be touched because of the UNION that protected him, even though his "work" was to write on the board, what chapters to read and to do the questions at the end, while he read newspapers ALL DAY! Yep, THAT is the REALITY!

It's a fun show. Before I have accepted any job, the company let me know my pay and hours. I hope the show's quality does not suffer with a union. It probably will and be history in a few years. Time will tell.

[@chilecayenne]

Well, you see what's happening to fast food places in cities/states requiring $15-$20/hr for burger flipping.....they're having to raise prices (ouch in this economy), let people go (like ATK had to)...or just go out of business. Sure, we ALL like to make as much as possible, but some jobs just pay less than others....either deal with it or look for another job, but forcing a company's hand will often result quickly in reduction of workforce. Simple economics IMHO.

@@Agapy8888 Hey, its alright, i know what you were trying to get at. Its hard for a lot of people to accept the reality of the foods they love to eat. Anyone trying to claim eating healthy is inherently more expensive than eating poorly is just lying to themselves. After all, eating poor nutrient high carb/sugary snacks is probably the most expensive when you account for its addictiveness and low nutrient profile for sustaining your life. Whats funny is that I find that most of the people who claim they cant afford to eat healthier, i.e. whole protein and veggies tend to be over weight. So its not a calorie intake issue. These days its not even inconvenient to chose healthy options, it just requires proper planning and rethinking of your habits. If anyone really wants to take it seriously, once you can get your body use to eating less than 50 net carbs a day, and focus on your protein intake along with low carb veggies, I promise you it does get easier and you no longer have hunger pains. What we traditionally call "hunger" is really our body getting low on sugar glycogen, and our bodies are sorta in a panic cuz its been trained to only burn sugar as a fuel source. When you get use to burning your body fat as fuel, your ketone levels will prevent you from being "hungry". I hope this helps anyone who is struggling and is confused by all the misinformation out there.

@@millionairejh Thanks. What really happened to me I went thru my days full. Not hungry or have cravings. That was a game changer. My grocery bill was so low that I bought a freezer for zero carb foods.

Julia Collins Davidson has been a favourite of mine from the first episodes I've watched. Newer faces, same show. Kimball, though a founder is not needed for it and Cook's Country to continue to be great shows. Though l must admit, l miss Doc. 🥲

Doc was great! So interesting to learn the science of cooking.
