In part 2 of our deep-dive into the history of culinary competition shows, America's Test Kitchen: The Next Generation contestant Garrett Schlichte chronicles the shift from our obsession with hyper-competitive, kitchen-stadium battles to our desire for a different kind of culinary competition show; ones that a decidedly nicer. Plus, Garrett peels the curtain back on his own experience as a contestant on America's Test Kitchen: The Next Generation, and talks to host Jack Bishop about how a show like that gets made.
