Whether Kimball was fired from there depends on who you ask -- Kimball says he was fired, ATK's board claims he refused to continue to be involved, etc. Not a pretty situation; Wikipedia has more about it:

With that said, I highly recommend Milk Street. I've cooked hundreds of their recipes at this point and it's incredibly rare that I don't enjoy one of them. They have a great staff and guest appearances from many of the people (Alex, Kenji, et al.) referenced in the comments on this story.
Also yes, sorry, I had watched an episode recently where Kimball mentioned Kenji used to work for/with him and assumed that was Milk Street but it looks more likely it was Cook's Illustrated.
- tptacek 5y agoIf you read between the lines on the two competing lawsuits, ATK hired a CEO to manage Kimball, who had one foot out the door and was already preparing to start a competing company which he'd own, unlike ATK where he was a minority partner. One way to read the situation is that he was "constructively" terminated --- that ATK would keep him on the books, but had planned to remove all his authority.
