Very Cool!!!

How sad is this?

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

TVholic was spot on with his analysis of Alton Brown and the show. It is unfortunate to not have a more extensive credits list so that the myriad characters can be better identified.http://www.altonbrown.com/pages/behindsc.html does provide some more information on the crew, but not much. There is also an interesting resource, the Good Eats Fan Page at http://goodeatsfanpage.com/.I especially like the extra information added by Deb Duchon - food anthropologist and Shirley Corriher - Food Science Consultant.Apparently, some of the openness from his website has been taken advantage of and it is no longer possible to interact with him there, alas.

If you have come across my reviews before you would know I love watching shows where the host loves what they do. There is no exception here on "Good Eats". Alton Brown makes me interested in cooking. He doesn't just cook; he teaches. He is very interesting and keeps the show entertaining. Many cooking shows do the same old apron in the kitchen and lets cook a roast, but Alton brings history and interesting facts to the table. He has such a vast knowledge of cooking and knows how to address it to the audience in a non-traditional way.Check this show out on the food network. Forget about watching a show about cooking; this show just simply rocks.

Good Eats is my favorite cooking show, ever. It's also one of my favorite science programs.AB's curiosity about nearly all things is catching, and that makes for the best kind of teaching.Is ANY topic safe from this man's parody? I certainly hope not.In "Give Peas a Chance", broadcast last night, he gives a recipe for a vegetarian burger-substitute. I'm a lifelong confirmed omnivore, but I've sampled many an amazing vegetarian dish, including some well-known commercial burger substitutes, and I'm probably going to have to give these pseudo-burgers a try soon.Even simple, straightforward tips like using Kosher salt are explained (in "Eat This Rock", an hour-long episode) not just pontificated. And that one tiny detail has made a seasoning mini-revolution in my own kitchen.Keep having fun, AB!

Alton Brown proves you don't need a good attitude for good grub; I love the cynical undercurrent. He shows us how to cook simply rather than demonstrating eight hundred varying ways of boiling an egg. He keeps it low key and educational as he explores the origins of a food. This show gets on most people's nerves, which is probably why I can stand it. Two of the best episodes focus on steak and another on pasta. As far as I'm concerned, these are the most difficult foods to prepare because of the myths behind them. I was amazed to learn all the names to the different kinds of pasta noodles, but rather than confusing me, I felt more educated.
