Interview with Adam Gertler
< Continued from page 2
What was your favorite 'job' to do?
ADAM: It's really, really hard to pick a favorite because after every one I would say that was my favorite. One of my favorite kinds of food is real barbecue and we did a segment where I got to work in a BBQ pit in Texas, Louie Mueller’s Barbeque. It was a huge thrill for me as a fan.
Also, the goat cheese farm in New York. I had to milk like 80 thousand goats and pasteurize the milk and make this cheese.
They make this cheese called Kunik which is this aged, mold-rinded cheese. I've had that kind of cheese before but I'd never seen the process. The milking and pasteurization and applying the mold. That kind of blew my mind. You go to a cheese store and you just don't think about that. It's sort of in line with the mentality people are starting to have about food...the slow food movement, keep things local, the grasping of where ingredients come from. Everything on Will Work For Food speaks to that.
And some segments are just fun. I try my hand at competitive eating. It's harder than it looks.
