[1][2] The organization comprises a weekly half-hour television program seen on public television stations, a magazine called Christopher Kimball's Milk Street, a cooking school, a weekly one-hour radio program heard on public radio stations called Milk Street Radio, a website for video podcasts, as well as Milk Street Live!

It is headquartered in the Flour and Grain Exchange Building on Milk Street, which is in the Custom House District near Boston Harborwalk.

The then-Brookline based company (now based in Boston), which owns America's Test Kitchen (ATK) and Cook's Country, filed a lawsuit in Suffolk Superior Court against Kimball that alleged he "literally and conceptually ripped off America’s Test Kitchen".

Jack Bishop, the chief creative officer at ATK, stated that the Milk Street magazine was very similar to Boston Commons Press-owned Cook's Illustrated.

Kimball founded that magazine and was editor until November 2015 when he left over a contract dispute.
