Contract negotiations were a disaster and their Editor in Chief got the boot. That's what happened. While BA is still a thing, the Test Kitchen is no more - at least the one that we enjoyed so much - most of those people are gone except for maybe Morocco and Leone, while I don't think people want to watch the Morocco and Brad show - it was more of an ensemble. They may hope that lightning strikes in the same place twice, but that isn't going to happen. Their lease had nothing to do with it, although Covid-19 definitely played a part.

I just made the Morocco Potatoes and was blown away. I rarely cook potatoes because they are not really exciting and as a side I am more of a rice person (the earthiness of potatoes sometimes bothers me). His dish may have changed my mind. I used siracha as the hot sauce and I think it could have used a splash more vinegar, but it was still excellent. No offence to the other BA chefs, but Chris Morocco deserves so much credit as so many of his recipes have worked out for me; hands down the best recipe talent they have.

I love when all the chefs come together

I love smashed potatoes. A long long time ago before she was wildly famous, Ree Drummond put a recipe on her blog for something she called "crash hot potatoes" and I have been in love with smashed potatoes ever since and have probably seasoned them 100 ways. I am going to have to try hot sauce and sour cream mixed together. Also, I'm with Brad--having leftover potatoes is never a bad thing!

I love potatoes. In basically every form. I’ve been using a garlic olive oil to coat a russet, then coat with salt, pepper, crushed garlic & a few red pepper flakes. Then bake. Not unusual. Just a current fave. My family really enjoys English Roasted Potatoes which ive just discovered this year. They are a process, but so worth it. And I’ve stopped making homemade Pierogi because we’ve got a local company that makes them just as good as mine…I’ll pay the $12 for a dozen. So good

those are just roasted potatoes lol, why the english bit i wonder? Anyways if you wanna up the roast potato game try swapping around some different potato varieties, boil 'em in beef (or other) stock, seasonings and water then put in a colander and toss to make a mashed potato like coating, then roast in bacon (or any other flavor full) fat

Man, I really love a Salade Nicoise, but I also love the intense saltiness of anchovies in it. There is a bit of confusion (for me at least) as to what anchovies really are in different cousines. Here in Sweden the common anchovy is Sprattus sprattus, which we put in our "Janssons frestelse" and is a soft fish spiced with sandelwood, but in Italy (and France as I can comprehend) an anchovy is of the species Engraulis encrasicolus. That dry very salty little fish works so well with the tuna in a Nicoise, along the capers, the potatoes and the olives.

I like this format. Bring more of those.

love watching BA always a good time

I will definitely be making Harold's pierogo. Potatoes, Kielbasa and sauerkraut is one of my favorite meals. Genius!

Definitely making Chris’s recipe🥔🍟🥓🧀

All of the recipes here are awesome, to the first chef though I will say that as someone who's cooked in kitchens for years I was always taught not to add the salt to my water when boiling potatoes until the water is boiling. Once the water is at a rapid boil is when you're supposed to add salt to the pot.

I love this format.

All of these are great hangover food.

Samantha - “thats actually pretty good” …I thought that was your favorite way of making a potato…

You know it’s going to be a good weekend when you can kick it off with a little Brad 👌

Love these type of videos. Really fun

Brad: If you don't like olives it's fine. But maybe give em another shot.

Definitely trying Rawlston's potato salad! I don't like mayonnaise, so this is right up my alley!

I love the perogies! I want to see how the other parts of the recipe are made though, like the dough, onions, and kielbasa. Most of the recipe was already made.

i add a water brine to the oil when making the potato chips. yes and oil and water are a no no but just a spoon at a time: infuses the salt into the potatoes

I question how Rawlston boiled his 3 rather large whole potatoes in 15-25 minutes when Harold said his single, small diced up boiled cooked in 20. I’ve boiled whole potatoes and it has never taken 20 minutes, it always takes quite a bit longer than that.

Conde Nast ( the parent company of BA ) leased about 30 floors of the One World Trade tower years ago for a high price. Over the years with the publishing industry not doing as well it became a significant burden to pay that rent. So they sub let some of the floors before the Covid crises. Now I just don't think they need that amount of office space. The test kitchen was on the 35th floor on the front of the building. Conde Nast has been trying to deal with the lease in some way. They were forced to pay back rent lately. The corporate offices might stay in the building, or move. But I don't know that the test kitchen will ever be returned to? We'll see.
