I wish I can cook like him. He totally kicks Bobby Flay's ass.

I doubt he would do a live show.

Good Eats is completely scripted. He writes down the complete dialogue for the entire show and then records it. While he is filming he wears an ear piece and plays it back as he goes along repeating it word for word into the camera. The guy is very meticulous. I wouldn't be surprised if he does something similar on the Feasting shows.

Not to say he couldn't script his live show.

Yeah but the whole point is for the massive knowledge he gives you from all of the insane amounts of research he and his crew does behind the scenes...I love watching the show because you get the A-Z information on cooking a certain item - the history, the different methods, the best ways, and a sample recipe.

Also, he's funny.

Of course that's the point.

I don't think I've ever seen anyone say that they don't like Alton. Why wouldn't you like him? He's thorough and informative.

I think he meant to say he is very jealous of Alton.
