Chris Kimball
And Cooks Country are parting ways.
Good fucking riddance. That useless holier-than-thou trustafarian jackass contributed nothing to the show; it was obvious he himself did little or nothing, and a shit-flinging ape could be taught to put on an apron and make appreciative noises at the work of someone with actual skill. I hope the show quadruples it’s viewership and income. Die in a fire, talentless hack.
No, really, tell us what you really think, Og. :)
Wow. Not a show I watch and based on this review I see why. Some stuff you can tell is dreck just from the commercials.
a Bing search reveals that he is the founder of Americas Test Kitchen. I personally appreciated his geek input to that show. Everybody fits someplace even you and I.
Indeed, but then the Humane society was founded to (at least in part) revive drowning people by blowing tobacco smoke up their asses. It’s time to move on. And Kimball is unquestionably a dick.
This is a different kind of food fight, that’s what it is. :D
Okay, that bow tie aggravated people and he had a pissy attitude about a lot of things (not as much as Alton Brown, though, who is still revered as a cooking god in some places). I do appreciate that he took a “what IS the best way to do this?” approach in founding America’s Test Kitchen/Cook’s Country and I’ve taken a few of their findings to heart.
He serves once again to remind us that if you want to maintain your majority status in a company, don’t sell your majority interest. (He’s now a minority partner, which allowed the company to hire a real CEO whose first act was to push Kimball out of the board room).
Now he can go create another company, or go back to cooking for the Grateful Dead or whatever. Apparently he’s not going quietly, which is sad.
