This September marks 25 years since America’s Test Kitchen debuted on public television and revolutionized the way America cooks.
We’re marking the occasion in a variety of ways (see the full list below!), but one we’re extra-excited about is the 1-hour PBS special we filmed with members of the season 25 cast.
America’s Test Kitchen Celebrates 25 Years highlights the food, science, kitchen ingenuity, and fun that have made America’s Test Kitchen a fan favorite. You’ll hear behind-the-scenes stories from every member of the season 25 cast—those who have been there since day one and the more recent additions.
The special will premiere on local PBS stations nationwide and on the PBS app at the end of September. Enter your zip code into this station finder to learn when it airs on your local PBS station. And enjoy this preview for a taste of what you’ll find!
