Already missing Chris on America's Test kitchen......

Maybe if they changed the format a bit and there would not be such a comparison.

Sorry to disagree, I don't miss Chris at all. I like the format and I'm glad the same good cooks are cooking and not having to deal with him acting like a supervisor. ATK is better without Chris. Just my opinion.

me too ..the new shows lack the humor and spontaneity that Chris brought. it seems that everyone left was trying to imitate him, but it didn't work...

if you do some research on why he left, it seems to be very messy,,,,

He started a new magazine called Milk Street. I like it.

I don't miss him. I like that new chefs are finally getting airtime.

I read that he has a new magazine, but I haven't seen it in our area.

Chris was fine, but I love Julia and Bridget. I think that ATK is suing Kimble.

I also miss Chris. I always thought he did a good job steering the show. I thought it was weird for Julia to tell Bridget how to cook something and vice versa. Maybe they should bring in more newbies to explain cooking ideas to them.

That's what I meant by the format. Maybe just talk to the viewers (screen) rather than try do what Chris use to do. He had an edge and a fun banter between the cooks and himself.

I like Chris too. My husband and I would kind of laugh though about how his main role on the show seemed to be standing around and watching the others do the work! Oh, and taste-testing.

The thing I always wondered about Chris was-how does a cook stay so darn skinny?

The show was such a stale loaf of bread with Chris at the helm. It was tired and pedantic to me, and I thought he was just tiresome to listen to.

I think when the new shows find their footing they will be wonderful. Chris also is going acting like he discovered spices and foreign foods, when most of us into food have been cooking that way for many years.

Glad to see the other cast members finally out of his shadow.
