Good Eats Marathon Today

I always learn something new with this show, it's like cooking + chemistry + puppets?

Plus bad high school acting. I like Good Eats, I wish he'd do less of the cheesy delivery though.

Agreed. A little bit of cheesy goes a long way.

edit: TV Guide shows no Good Eats now, but refreshed page FTW regardless 😛

He may be cheesy but he really does his homework for the show. Did you see the one about waffles, where he did a complete history on waffle irons and had all of the different models up? He's like a live Cooking for Dummies guy 🙂

Ya, but some of those "tools" I think he pulls straight out of his you-know-what. I just wish he would be more mature with the delivery, which he's been better about in the more recent shows. Another cooking show I like is Americas Test Kitchen on PBS, they thoroughly test recipes to find the best. I made their pulled pork sandwhich recipe this weekend and it was really good.

Yes the acting can be campy/corny/cheesy, but overall I like the show a lot. He doesn't really use a lot of hard to find foods, difficult techniques, etc. It's all rather easy and straightforward.

Alton Brown cracks me up, his cheesy-ness makes the show so much better than most other cooking shows🙂

I agree. Most of the other cooking shows are just boring. AB rocks.

easily in my top 3 favorite shows

That's one of my favorite shows. I tend to hate cheesy stuff more than anyone I know, but for some reason I find AB hilarious.

I like his new show, too.

for anyone interested in cooking basics, his books are as great as the show and well worth having.

his "feasting on asphalt" show premiered and i thought it was pretty good.

It can never be said enough, Alton Brown is the most amazing cooking show host alive.

I have two of his books, "I'm just here for the food", and "I'm just here for more food". They're very good, well written, more like reference books, certainly not a "cook book".
