Good Eats Fans - Join Me
Well I'm a huge fan of this show and Alton Brown.
I didn't see a thread about this show so I figured I would start one - and see if there were any other fans out there.
I love how he explains the "science" and "what / how" behind certain foods or how they are made.
I have his book (which is ok) but I wish he would come out with others... I would pick up the DVDs but they are too much $

I love Good Eats, although I don't watch much TV these days. It's possibly my wife's favorite show.
The fact Emeril is a big star and Alton isn't is one of the world's great injustices...
...well maybe not, but it's bad nonetheless.

When I was in cooking school I used to watch his show all the time. His explanations are dead on and he explains things so that everyone can do them. Plus he is funny as hell.

One of the 10 best shows on television IMO. Very funny, intelligent, and it actually teaches you how to cook instead of showing you a recipe or two. That reminds me, I have to buy his book:

I learn more about cooking from scratch with everyday items from Alton than I do with any of the other shows on the Food Network. Food 911 comes close...

What I want to know is "Oliver's Twist" taped in his own flat.

Alton Brown rules. Love his show. Him and Tony Bourdain (A Cook's Tour) are the best chefs on Food Network, IMO. Tony's books "A Cook's Tour" and "Kitchen Confidential" are both really good. Haven't read Alton's book yet.

I'd rather see more delicious cooking/food than learn how the electrons move to cook a turkey.
