Executive Editor, ATK Reviews

Lisa McManus is an executive editor for ATK Reviews, host of The Taste Test and cohost of Gear Heads on YouTube, and a cast member on TV's America's Test Kitchen. A passionate home cook, sometime waitress, and longtime journalist, she graduated from Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism and worked at magazines and newspapers in New York and California before returning like a homing pigeon to New England. In 2006 she got her dream job at ATK reviewing kitchen equipment and ingredients and has been pretty thrilled about it ever since. Her favorite thing is to go somewhere new and find something good to eat.
