Every grocery delivery we take at the test kitchen has to meet exacting specifications.
Senior test kitchen assistant Meryl MacCormack picks through a shipment of pork chops, using the ruler to her right to weed out any specimens that aren’t the right size for the recipe for which they were ordered, as test kitchen intern Gretchen Torrey looks on. This task may seem a little ridiculous, but it’s standard procedure in our grocery ordering process: we want to make sure we’re working with the right ingredients, especially when it comes to food prepared for photo shoots.
