America's Test Kitchen, The Tasting Lab : a Gardenfork.tv Parody

Our friends at Ford Motor and the Fiestamovement ( who have provided us with a Ford Fiesta and funds to produce videos ) suggested we do a 2 minute take on our favorite TV show, and I'm a big fan of Chris Kimball, America's Test Kitchen, and Cook's Illustrated, so we had to do a parody of their Tasting Lab segment.

Thanks to Ford Motor and the Fiestamovement underwriting the purchase of all the cheeses we tasted. Yum. Thanks to Charlie and Tony for the story idea.

ATK is the best cooking show out there and you nailed it! I thought I was watching Chris without the bow tie! They need their own "tasting lab". Keep up the great work.

@AlleySbb thanks, it was fun. Chris Kimball liked the parody too. eric

Ha ha ha. I love your show, you cook like a real person does! Well, me anyway. A basic recipe with some mistakes, some inventions and substitutions along the way which makes cooking fun and not a chore and makes ones own dish original. Thanks for being yourself!

Chris Kimball sent me this on Twitter:

@ericgardenfork Loved it! Your lab definitely took the tasting seriously and did a great job! Now I need to build a cheese cave!

a big thanks to Chris Kimball, eric.

Really fun! You need a bow tie, or at least the dog should have had one. ;)

[erochow]

yeah, i couldn't find any bow ties anywhere near our house. thanks for watching.

Great job! Made me laugh out loud. Genius!

[PhillyNonSequitur]

Well done! You've got Chris Kimball's hand gestures down.

Your perspective on everyday food is what cooking should be. I came to Garden Fork TV for the Jiffy cornbread and creamed corn recipe, and stayed for the fun.

LOVED the labs!

Seriously funny! I am not sure how you kept yourself from cracking yourself up! Labs as taste testers are sort of biased though. I noticed he chose the closest one as the best.
